Cannot connect smartthings to RM bridge about broadlink-rm-smartthings-alexa HOT 4 CLOSED

Try this: I think there have been some changes to smartthings device properties naming. Seems to be affecting some but not all people, so not sure why. I have a best way and a quick way to try. The quick way is to go into your existing file and change where it says "device.displayName" to just "device.name." Someone else had this issue in the cloud version recently and it worked.

If that works, a better long term solution is to go to the "temp" branch I just set up, get the BroadLink RM Bridge LAN code from there and paste it into your device handler and add your own ip address and personal info. Then make the device set up so that the device ID matches the name you used in the RM Bridge (the word before "on" or "off"). You can make the device name the same, or something else if for some reason you want to call it something else in Alexa and SmartThings. (one reason these may be different - I made some of mine outlet1, outlet2, etc in hte RM Bridge and in thee deviceID. Then I named it whatever was plugged into it at the time (Christmas tree, for example, won't be forever). Then I can change its name in the smartthings app to match whatever is plugged in, and just ask Alexa to rediscover devices, without going back to RM Bridge.

If this works, please let me know. As soon as I can get the readme updated with those instructions I'll merge this into the master branch.

If this doesn't solve it, please make sure the device is linked to the hub. (on your device list in the developer site, the hub should show). Also please post details of any further issues, such as whether smartthings appears to work and just does nothing, or fails earlier in the process somehow, and whether or not you are using security on the bridge.

Becky,

Thanks for getting back to me so quick.

I tired both, neither of them work ! deleted the "display" , it didn't help ... created a new device handler using the code on the temp branch , with no luck !

I noticed that I didn't have "on" "off" words on my RM bridge (since I was using it for blinds , and they have up and down) , just created a new code called : "blind1on" ... and put the device ID as "blind1" that didn't help either !

the device is linked to the hub ... ( when I'm adding the device on the smartthings site, I see the hub and set the location ...
I also have other stuff on smartthings which works fine ... all the smartthings, android device , broadlink are on the same network !
the new device appears on the smart things , but when I click on it (to toggle on/off) it doesn't do anything !
The bridge has no security on it ... I didn't set any username/password if that's what you mean ...
I don't think I have any issue with the bridge tho , cause when I paste the http://192.168.1.74:7474/code/BLNDLivD on the browser, it works ! ...
