SmartThings SmartApp SDK Java (Preview) SmartThings Java

Known Vulnerabilities

Welcome! This SDK is currently in preview and is not recommended for use in production applications at this time. We welcome your bug reports, feature requests, and contributions.

Getting Started

This SDK includes a set of JVM libraries for building Webhook and AWS Lambda SmartApps, and interacting with the public SmartThings API.

Prerequisites

  • Java 1.8+
  • A Samsung account

What is a SmartApp?

SmartApps are custom applications that execute outside of the SmartThings Platform. All of the SmartApp execution will happen on the server or Lambda that you control. The complexity of execution and the number of expected users will need to be examined to understand the hardware or execution requirements your app needs to handle. Your application will respond to lifecycle events sent from SmartThings to perform actions on behalf of your users and will execute any scheduled tasks that you have created in the SmartApp. Creating a SmartApp allows you to control and get status notifications from SmartThings devices using the SmartThings API.

Visit the SmartThings developer documentation to earn more about SmartApps.

Hosting Your SmartApp

There are two distinct options for hosting your SmartApp: AWS Lambda and Webhook.

Webhook SmartApps are any publicly-accessible web server that will receive a POST request payload.

AWS Lambda SmartApps are hosted in the Amazon Web Services cloud and are invoked by ARN instead of a public-DNS address.

The best hosting option for your Automation depends on a number of factors, both objective and subjective.

To learn more about SmartApps, including choosing the best hosting option for your SmartApp, visit the SmartThings developer documentation.

Declaring Your SmartApp

Take a quick look at how SmartApps are declared in various languages.

Kotlin
package app

val smartApp: SmartApp = SmartApp.of { spec ->
    spec
        .configuration(Configuration())
        .install {
            Response.ok(InstallResponseData())
        }
        .update {
            Response.ok(UpdateResponseData())
        }
        .event {
            Response.ok(EventResponseData())
        }
        .uninstall {
            Response.ok(UninstallResponseData())
        }
}

fun Application.main() {
    install(Routing) {
        post("/smartapp") {
            call.respond(smartApp.execute(call.receive()))
        }
    }
}
Groovy
    SmartApp smartApp = SmartApp.of { spec ->
        spec
            .install({ req ->
                // create subscriptions
                Response.ok()
            })
            .update({ req ->
                // delete subscriptions
                // create subscriptions
                Response.ok()
            })
            .configuration({ req ->
                ConfigurationResponseData data = ...// build config
                Response.ok(data)
            })
            .event(EventHandler.of { eventSpec ->
                eventSpec
                    .onSubscription("switch", { event ->
                       // do something
                    })
                    .onSchedule("nightly", { event ->
                       // do something
                    })
                    .onEvent(
                        { event ->
                            // test event
                            true
                        },
                        { event ->
                            // do something
                        }
                    )
            })
    }
Java
    private final SmartApp smartApp = SmartApp.of(spec ->
        spec
            .install(request -> {
                return Response.ok();
            })
            .update(request -> {
                return Response.ok(UpdateResponseData.newInstance());
            })
            .configuration(request -> {
                return Response.ok(ConfigurationReponseData.newInstance());
            })
            .event(request -> {
                EventData eventData = request.getEventData();
                EventHandler.of(eventSpec ->
                        eventSpec
                                .onEvent(event -> {
                                    // when this predicate is true...
                                    return true;
                                }, event -> {
                                    // ...do something with event
                                })
                                .onSchedule("nightly", event -> {
                                    // do something
                                })
                                .onSubscription("switch", event -> {
                                    // do something
                                })
                );
                return Response.ok(EventResponseData.newInstance());
            })
        );

Modules and Extension Libraries

Modules

  • The smartapp-core module provides the core SmartApp framework, enabling you to define a SmartApp that can be used in many different environments including AWS Lambda, Dropwizard, Ratpack, and more.

  • The smartthings-client module is an API library that provides useful utilities for working with the Subscription, Schedules, and Device APIs.

Extension Libraries

Adding the SDK to your build
