## What it is
The open-source repository of SmartApps and Groovy Device Type Handlers (DTHs) for the SmartThings home automation platform, written in Groovy. It provides the cloud-side integration code that connects Zigbee, Z-Wave, UPnP, and LAN devices to SmartThings, though the platform has since moved to Lua-based SmartThings Edge drivers.

## Use cases
- integrate zigbee and zwave sensors with smartthings
- write a custom smartapp for home automation
- create a device type handler for an unsupported device
- customize behavior of smartthings-connected devices
- control smart home devices via oauth2 integrations
- extend the smartthings cloud platform with groovy code

## When to choose
- you maintain or fork legacy Groovy SmartApps or DTHs on the SmartThings platform
- you need reference code for how SmartThings cloud integrations worked
- you are migrating old Groovy integrations to the new Edge/Lua architecture

## When to avoid
- you are building new SmartThings integrations - use SmartThings Edge Lua drivers instead
- you need actively maintained or supported smart home tooling
- you want a platform-independent home automation solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: iot, middleware, plugin-system, auth
- domain: iot, developer-tools
- platform: cloud, self-hosted
- tags: smartthings, smartapps, device-type-handlers, groovy, zigbee, zwave, upnp, oauth2, home-automation, deprecated, automation
