Guides developers through the entire lifecycle of creating a SmartThings Cloud Connected (ST-Schema) integration, from organization setup to code generation, registration, and final certification. Use whenever the user wants to connect their cloud IoT devices to SmartThings, build a Schema App, or pass Works With SmartThings (WWST) certification.

Explains SmartThings device QR code purpose, security and onboarding role, and type-specific formats for Matter, Zigbee 3.0, Direct Connected (st-device-sdk-c), and Mobile Connected (SmartThings Find Device SDK). Covers Zigbee minimum vs recommended payloads (install code, manufacturer code, OUI), WWST partner notification, official publish docs, partner QR label template link, per-type field checklist, and product-oriented payload examples. Use when the user asks about SmartThings device QR codes, onboarding QR requirements, Zigbee 3.0 install-code QR, Matter CSA QR, Direct Connected or Mobile Connected QR specifications, Find Device SDK, WWST QR registration, or partner label print layout.

Guides SmartThings Direct Connected integration using the SmartThings Device SDK for C over MQTT. Covers when to start from the IoT core device library repository vs the SmartThings SDK Reference repository, strict porting boundaries, capability handling via capability_sample, Console project setup, project-specific onboarding_config.json replacement, device_info.json handling for prototype vs production flows, device identity registration with serial number and ed25519 public key, and WWST certification and product launch prerequisites.

Guides commercial SmartThings Hub Connected product integrations for manufacturers or partners pursuing Works With SmartThings (WWST) certification for Zigbee, Matter, or Z-Wave devices. Use for hub-side WWST registration, validation, Test Suite, Integration Details, Standard vs Custom path decisions, and Zigbee Edge driver PR guidance when manufacturer-side work is required for certification. Do not use for hobby-only driver experiments, Cloud Connected, Direct Connected, or Mobile Connected integrations.
