5 out of 6 Total Reviews for Smart Things SDK
Smartthigns SDK is easy to use, being able to code in java, groovy, javascript, typescript languages is a plus. The API allows you to easily integrate into the smartthings environment. The SDK allows you to build and integrate your smart devices, services, and/or existing solutions on SmartThings ecosystem. I control my entire home with the smartthings platform and integrate several non-native devices via the smartthings sdk. Being able to use github as a repo allows you to share your code as well so others can enjoy any of the work you have done and update automatically through github.
You can also use the sdk to add local API calls which enables local/offline control of devices. This is handy when the internet goes down and also cuts down on the time it takes for the call to go to the cloud and then back to the hub and then the device.
Overall you can write integrations for yourself or share them with the smartthings community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Currently, there are some changes going on with Smartthings and groovy language will be legacy code. The backend of the sdk could also use some updating but it functions fine.
Smartthings support isn't the best even though they are run by Samsung. The new app update caused a lot of issues with devices, and there are still some presence sensor issues that arise when doing certain automations. The new app was not polished when released and they have been slow to fix some of the kinks that are left.

It helps you to create the plugin between your device and the smartthings. A great thing, is the simulator that help us to simulate our phone and the communication if is working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Adding a plugin could be a little tricky and complicated. Could have a better user interface and experience.
The tutorials could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ability to access various appliance/devises in the home Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the items seem incompatible. In order for my lights to connect with the app, I would need to reference the compatibilty list, and purchase items from the list in order for it to wrok properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Basically an easy way to define the plugin to control an IoT device. All you need to identify the devices features and settings. You'll both have the opportunity to design the plugin through the GUI or Underlying code. Integrated CLI provides few more additional functions too. The best part is like having the simulators to make interaction between the app and device and off course without having any phone or IoT device hardware.

Umm... finger crossed.
Technically, adding new device profile page contents are little confusing. GUI menus does not offer that much activation. System has not been designed so that keys with similar names performs little same. Find option doesn't highlight the searched items. Sometimes Items are not well designed for minimized window.
