# Get Started with SmartThings Hubs + Thermostats

> Learn how to connect and control SmartThings-connected thermostats with the Seam API.

## Overview

Seam provides a universal API to connect and control many brands of IoT devices and systems, including thermostats, smart locks, access control systems (ACSs), and noise sensors.

This guide gives you a rapid introduction to connecting and controlling your [SmartThings](https://www.seam.co/manufacturers/smartthings)-connected thermostats using the Seam API. For application developers, you can use the Seam API in your app, and your users can authorize your app to control their devices using Seam.

You connect your thermostats to Seam through a SmartThings Hub. These hubs use Zigbee or Z-Wave to communicate with your thermostats. SmartThings Hubs are connected to your local network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. For detailed information about the SmatThings Hubs that Seam supports, see our [SmartThings Supported Devices page](https://www.seam.co/manufacturers/smartthings).

To learn more about other IoT device and system brands that Seam supports—such as ecobee, Honeywell Resideo, Google Nest, Yale, Schlage, and many more—visit our [integration page](https://www.seam.co/supported-devices-and-systems).

  This guide shows you how to install a Seam SDK and then control your SmartThings-connected thermostat using the Seam API.

  Another easy way to learn about what you can do with the Seam API is to explore the [interactive Seam CLI](/core-concepts/seam-console/seam-online-cli), which you can access from directly within the [Seam Console](/core-concepts/seam-console).

## Step 1: Install a Seam SDK

Seam provides client libraries for many languages, including JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, and others, as well as a Postman collection and an [OpenAPI](https://connect.getseam.com/openapi.json) spec.

* JavaScript / TypeScript ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/seam), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/javascript))
* Python ([pip](https://pypi.org/project/seam/), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/python))
* Ruby Gem ([rubygem](https://rubygems.org/gems/seam), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/ruby))
* PHP ([packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/seamapi/seam), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/php))
* C# ([nuget](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Seam), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/csharp))

First, install a Seam SDK, as follows:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="JavaScript">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npm i seam
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```bash theme={null}
    pip install seam
    # For some development environments, use pip3 in this command instead of pip.
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Ruby">
    ```bash theme={null}
    bundle add seam
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="PHP">
    ```bash theme={null}
    composer require seamapi/seam
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="C#">
    Install using [nuget](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Seam).
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Next, go to [https://console.seam.co/](https://console.seam.co/) and [sign up for Seam](/core-concepts/seam-console#create-a-seam-account) to get your [API key](/core-concepts/authentication/api-keys).

Then, export your API key as an environment variable.

```bash theme={null}
$ export SEAM_API_KEY=seam_test2bMS_94SrGUXuNR2JmJkjtvBQDg5c
```

<Info>
  This guide uses a [sandbox
  workspace](/core-concepts/workspaces#sandbox-workspaces).
  You can only connect virtual devices and systems in this type of workspace. If
  you want to connect a real SmartThings-connected thermostat, use a
  [non-sandbox
  workspace](/core-concepts/workspaces#production-workspaces)
  and API key.
</Info>

***

## Step 2: Link your SmartThings account with Seam

To control your SmartThings-connected thermostat using the Seam API, you must first authorize your Seam workspace to connect to your SmartThings account. If your application needs to connect to your users' SmartThings accounts, Seam provides fully-embedded, [customizable](/core-concepts/connect-webviews/customizing-connect-webviews) client-side [Connect Webviews](/core-concepts/connect-webviews) to collect their authorization securely. These user-friendly pre-built authorization flows walk your users through the process of granting your Seam workspace permission to control their SmartThings-connected thermostats. The Connect Webview presents a flow that prompts your users to enter their credentials for their SmartThings account.

In this guide, you create a Connect Webview object. Then, you display the graphical component of the created Connect Webview and enter a set of sample credentials to connect a sandbox SmartThings account.

<Check>
  This guide shows you how to create a Connect Webview programmatically using the Seam API.

  The [Seam Console](/core-concepts/seam-console) provides another easy way to connect devices to your Seam workspace.

  Go to [https://console.seam.co/](https://console.seam.co/). On the **Devices** page, click **+ Add Devices**. Then, see [Authorize your workspace](#authorize-your-workspace) in this guide to complete the Connect Webview authorization flow.

### Create a Connect Webview

Create a `connect_webview` object and then note the returned URL.

**Code:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  import { Seam } from 'seam'

  const seam = new Seam() // Seam automatically uses your exported SEAM_API_KEY.

  const connectWebview = await seam.connectWebviews.create({
    accepted_providers: ['smartthings'],
    accepted_capabilities: ['thermostat'],
  })

  console.log(connectWebview.login_successful) // false

  // Use the returned Connect Webview URL to display
  // the Connect Webview authorization flow to your user.
  console.log(connectWebview.url)
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X 'POST' \
    'https://connect.getseam.com/connect_webviews/create' \
    -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SEAM_API_KEY}" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
    "accepted_providers": ["smartthings"],
    "accepted_capabilities": ["thermostat"]
  }' | jq -r '"Login Successful (false): " + (.connect_webview.login_successful | tostring),
    "URL: " + .connect_webview.url'
    # Use the returned Connect Webview URL to display
    # the Connect Webview authorization flow to your user.
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from seam import Seam

  seam = Seam()  # Seam automatically uses your exported SEAM_API_KEY.

  connect_webview = seam.connect_webviews.create(
    accepted_providers=["smartthings"],
    accepted_capabilities=["thermostat"]
  )

  assert connect_webview.login_successful is False

  # Use the returned Connect Webview URL to display
  # the Connect Webview authorization flow to your user.
  print(connect_webview.url)
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  require "seam"

  seam = Seam.new() # Seam automatically uses your exported SEAM_API_KEY.

  connect_webview = seam.connect_webviews.create(
    accepted_providers: ["smartthings"],
    accepted_capabilities: ["thermostat"]
  )

  puts connect_webview.login_successful # false

  # Use the returned Connect Webview URL to display
  # the Connect Webview authorization flow to your user.
  puts connect_webview.url
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  <?php
  require 'vendor/autoload.php';

  $seam = new Seam\SeamClient(); // Seam automatically uses your exported SEAM_API_KEY.

  $connect_webview = $seam->connect_webviews->create(
    accepted_providers: ["smartthings"],
    accepted_capabilities: ["thermostat"]
  );

  echo $connect_webview->login_successful ? 'true' : 'false', "\n"; // false

  // Use the returned Connect Webview URL to display
  // the Connect Webview authorization flow to your user.
  echo $connect_webview->url;
  ```

  ```csharp C# theme={null}
  using Seam.Client;

  var seam = new SeamClient(apiToken: SEAM_API_KEY);

  var connectWebview = seam.ConnectWebviews.Create(
    acceptedProviders: new() {Seam.Api.ConnectWebviews.CreateRequest.AcceptedProvidersEnum.Smartthings},
    acceptedCapabilities: new() {Seam.Api.ConnectWebviews.CreateRequest.AcceptedCapabilitiesEnum.Thermostat}
  );

  Console.WriteLine(connectWebview.LoginSuccessful); // False

  // Use the returned Connect Webview URL to display
  // the Connect Webview authorization flow to your user.
  Console.WriteLine(connectWebview.Url);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Output:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```json JavaScript theme={null}
  false
  https://connect.getseam.com/connect_webviews/view?connect_webview_id=12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012&auth_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  ```

  ```json Python theme={null}
  https://connect.getseam.com/connect_webviews/view?connect_webview_id=12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012&auth_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  ```

  ```json PHP theme={null}
  false
  https://connect.getseam.com/connect_webviews/view?connect_webview_id=12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012&auth_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  ```

  ```json C# theme={null}

  ```
</CodeGroup>

***

### Authorize Your Workspace

In a web browser, go to the URL that the Connect Webview object returned.

For application developers, you can redirect your user to this Connect Webview URL so that they can authorize your app to control their devices using Seam. We even provide a prebuilt [Connect Account Button](/ui-components/overview/react-components/connect-account-button) within our suite of [Seam Components](/ui-components/overview) that help you build your device management flow.

<Check>
  Because you're using a sandbox workspace, you can connect Seam's test
  SmartThings account. We provide [virtual devices](./smartthings-sample-data)
  for each of the brands that we support. These sandbox devices and systems
  enable you to test your app with devices from multiple brands without the need
  to own all the corresponding physical devices.
</Check>

Complete the Connect Webview authorization flow by entering the following [SmartThings sandbox account](./smartthings-sample-data) credentials:

* **Email:** [jane@example.com](mailto:jane@example.com)
* **Password:** 1234

Confirm that authorization through the Connect Webview was successful by querying its status.

**Code:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  const updatedConnectWebview = await seam.connectWebviews.get({
    connect_webview_id: connectWebview.connect_webview_id,
  })

  console.log(updatedConnectWebview.login_successful) // true
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X 'GET' \
    'https://connect.getseam.com/connect_webviews/get' \
    -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SEAM_API_KEY}" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d "{
    \"connect_webview_id\": \"${connect_webview_id}\"
  }" | jq -r '"Login Successful (true): " + (.connect_webview.login_successful | tostring)'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  updated_connect_webview = seam.connect_webviews.get(connect_webview.connect_webview_id)

  assert updated_connect_webview.login_successful is True # True
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  updated_connect_webview = seam.connect_webviews.get(
    connect_webview_id: connect_webview.connect_webview_id
  )

  puts updated_connect_webview.login_successful # true
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  $updated_connect_webview = $seam->connect_webviews->get(
    connect_webview_id: $connect_webview->connect_webview_id
  );

  echo $updated_connect_webview->login_successful ? 'true' : 'false', "\n"; // true
  ```

  ```csharp C# theme={null}
  var updatedConnectWebview = seam.ConnectWebviews.Get(
    connectWebviewId: connectWebview.connectWebviewId
  );

  Console.WriteLine(updatedConnectWebview.LoginSuccessful); // True
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Output:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```json JavaScript theme={null}
  true
  ```

  ```json cURL theme={null}
  Login Successful (true): true
  ```

  ```json Python theme={null}
  True
  ```

  ```json Ruby theme={null}
  true
  ```

  ```json PHP theme={null}
  true
  ```

  ```json C# theme={null}
  True
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Step 3: Retrieve SmartThings-connected thermostat devices

When you link a SmartThings account with Seam, we create a `device` object to represent each SmartThings-connected thermostat in your account. You can then retrieve these SmartThings devices using the [List Devices](/api/devices/list) and [Get Device](/api/devices/get) endpoints.

The Seam API exposes each device's properties, such as the current temperature reading in Fahrenheit and Celsius, current HVAC and fan modes, available climate presets, thermostat-specific constraints, and much more.

**Code:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  // Retrieve all devices, filtered by manufacturer,
  // which is one of several filters that list() supports.
  const allSmartThingsThermostats = await seam.devices.list({
    manufacturer: 'smartthings',
  })

  // Select the first device as an example.
  const livingRoomThermostat = allSmartThingsThermostats[0]

  // Inspect specific properties.
  console.log(
    'Current temperature: ' +
      livingRoomThermostat.properties.temperature_fahrenheit,
  )
  console.log('Fan running: ' + livingRoomThermostat.properties.is_fan_running)

  // View the entire returned device object.
  console.log(livingRoomThermostat)
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  # Retrieve all devices, filtered by manufacturer, which is
  # one of several filters that the list endpoint supports.
  all_smartthings_thermostats=$(
    # Use GET or POST.
    curl -X 'GET' \
      'https://connect.getseam.com/devices/list' \
      -H 'accept: application/json' \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SEAM_API_KEY}" \
      -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      -d '{
      "manufacturer": "smartthings"
    }')

  # Select the first device as an example.
  living_room_thermostat=$(jq -r '.devices[0]' <<< ${all_smartthings_thermostats})

  # Inspect specific properties.
  echo $(jq -r '"Current temperature: " + (.properties.temperature_fahrenheit | tostring)' <<< ${living_room_thermostat})
  echo $(jq -r '"Fan running: " + (.properties.is_fan_running | tostring)' <<< ${living_room_thermostat})

  # View the entire returned device object.
  echo ${living_room_thermostat}
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  # Retrieve all devices, filtered by manufacturer,
  # which is one of several filters that list() supports.
  all_smartthings_thermostats = seam.devices.list(manufacturer="smartthings")

  # Select the first device as an example.
  living_room_thermostat = all_smartthings_thermostats[0]

  # Inspect specific properties.
  pprint("Current temperature: " + str(living_room_thermostat.properties["temperature_fahrenheit"]))
  pprint("Fan running: " + str(living_room_thermostat.properties["is_fan_running"]))

  # View the entire returned device object.
  pprint(living_room_thermostat)
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  # Retrieve all devices, filtered by manufacturer,
  # which is one of several filters that list() supports.
  all_smartthings_thermostats = seam.devices.list(manufacturer: "smartthings")

  # Select the first device as an example.
  living_room_thermostat = all_smartthings_thermostats[0]

  # Inspect specific properties.
  puts "Current temperature: " + living_room_thermostat.properties.temperature_fahrenheit.to_s
  puts "Fan running: " + living_room_thermostat.properties.is_fan_running.to_s

  # View the entire returned device object.
  puts living_room_thermostat.inspect
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  // Retrieve all devices, filtered by manufacturer,
  // which is one of several filters that list() supports.
  $all_smartthings_thermostats = $seam->devices->list(manufacturer: "smartthings");

  // Select the first device as an example.
  $living_room_thermostat = $all_smartthings_thermostats[0];

  // Inspect specific properties.
  echo "Current temperature: ", $living_room_thermostat->properties->temperature_fahrenheit, "\n";
  echo "Fan running: ", $living_room_thermostat->properties->is_fan_running ? 'true' : 'false', "\n";

  // View the entire returned device object.
  echo json_encode($living_room_thermostat, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
  ```

  ```csharp C# theme={null}
  // Coming soon!
  ```

## Step 4: Control your SmartThings-connected thermostat

Next, you can use the Seam API to control your SmartThings-connected thermostat.

Each device that you connect to Seam has a specific set of capabilities. These capabilities define the Seam API actions that you can use. For thermostats, device-specific capabilities include whether you can [set the HVAC mode](/capability-guides/thermostats/configure-current-climate-settings) to `heat`, `cool`, or `heat_cool`. Seam's intuitive and granular [capability flags](/capability-guides/device-and-system-capabilities#capability-flags) inform your application about what features and behaviors each device supports. Notice the capability flags within the code samples in this guide.

Seam provides additional actions for thermostats, such as setting the fan mode, creating and scheduling climate presets, setting temperature thresholds, and configuring weekly thermostat programs. You can also monitor for Seam thermostat-related events, such as reported temperatures outside your set thresholds.

Try out the following actions on your SmartThings-connected thermostat:

* [ ] [Set the HVAC mode](#set-the-hvac-mode)
* [ ] [Create and schedule climate presets](#create-and-schedule-climate-presets)
* [ ] [Configure a weekly thermostat program](#configure-a-weekly-thermostat-program)

### Set the HVAC mode

To set the HVAC mode, use any of the following endpoints or their equivalents in the Seam SDKs:

* `/thermostats/heat`
* `/thermostats/cool`
* `/thermostats/heat_cool` (for devices that support this mode)
* `/thermostats/off`
* `/thermostats/set_hvac_mode`

  This endpoint is a consolidated version of the other four endpoints.

Specify the thermostat that you want to control by including the `device_id` in the request body. Also, include the desired temperature [set point](/capability-guides/thermostats/understanding-thermostat-concepts/set-points).

In this example, set the HVAC mode to `heat` and the desired heating set point to 68 °F.

Each of these HVAC mode endpoints returns an [action attempt](/core-concepts/action-attempts) to track the progress of the operation.

**Code:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  // Confirm that the device supports heat mode.
  // You're using a capability flag here!
  if (livingRoomThermostat.can_hvac_heat) {
    // Set the HVAC mode
    // and return an action attempt.
    const actionAttempt = await seam.thermostats.heat({
      device_id: livingRoomThermostat.device_id,
      heating_set_point_fahrenheit: 68,
    })
  }
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  # Confirm that the device supports heat mode.
  # You're using a capability flag here!
  if  $(jq -r '.can_hvac_heat' <<< ${living_room_thermostat}); then \

You can track the status of the operation to confirm that the device was set to heat mode successfully. Query `properties.current_climate_setting.hvac_mode_setting` for the device, [retrieve the action attempt](/api/action_attempts/get) by ID, or look for a [`thermostat.manually_adjusted` event](/api/events/object). Further, if you wanted to find out whether the HVAC system was currently heating, you could inspect `properties.is_heating` for the device.

To query `properties.current_climate_setting.hvac_mode_setting` for the device:

**Code:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  // Get the device by ID.
  const updatedLivingRoomThermostat = await seam.devices.get({
    device_id: livingRoomThermostat.device_id,
  })

  // Inspect properties.current_climate_setting.hvac_mode_setting
  // to confirm that setting the HVAC mode to heat was successful.
  console.log(
    updatedLivingRoomThermostat.properties.current_climate_setting
      .hvac_mode_setting,
  )
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  # Get the device by ID.
  updated_living_room_thermostat=$(

### Create and schedule climate presets

You can use the Seam API to create climate presets for SmartThings thermostats. Each climate preset is a saved group of settings, such as HVAC mode, fan mode, and temperature set points. Climate presets make it quick and easy to apply consistent climate settings for different scenarios. For example, you could create two climate presets: a comfort preset for when a vacation rental is occupied and an eco preset for when the vacation rental is empty.

You can schedule climate presets to start and stop whenever you'd like. You can even set a fallback climate preset, such as eco.

In this example, create comfort and eco climate presets, set eco as the fallback, and schedule the comfort climate preset to coincide with two vacation rental reservations.

**Code:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  // Confirm that the thermostat supports cool mode
  // so that the climate presets can use this mode.
  if (updatedLivingRoomThermostat.can_hvac_cool) {
    // Create the climate presets.
    await seam.thermostats.createClimatePreset({
      device_id: updatedLivingRoomThermostat.device_id,
      climate_preset_key: 'comfort',
      name: 'Comfort',
      fan_mode_setting: 'auto',
      hvac_mode_setting: 'cool',
      cooling_set_point_celsius: 25,
    })

    await seam.thermostats.createClimatePreset({
      device_id: updatedLivingRoomThermostat.device_id,
      climate_preset_key: 'eco',
      name: 'Eco',
      fan_mode_setting: 'auto',
      hvac_mode_setting: 'cool',
      cooling_set_point_celsius: 30,
    })

    // Then, set eco as the fallback climate setting.
    await seam.thermostats.setFallbackClimatePreset({
      device_id: updatedLivingRoomThermostat.device_id,
      climate_preset_key: 'eco',
    })

    // Now, schedule the comfort preset to coincide with two reservations.
    await seam.thermostats.schedules.create({

### Configure a weekly thermostat program

You can use the Seam API to create a thermostat weekly program for your SmartThings-connected thermostat. This standard feature of smart thermostats enables you to define full-week programs that are made up of reusable daily programs. Each daily program consists of a set of thermostat daily program periods, that is, time blocks with associated climate presets.

In this example, create a weekday daily program and a weekend daily program. Then, combine these daily programs into a weekly program by assigning a daily program to each day of the week.

**Code:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  // Create the daily programs.
  const weekdayProgram = await seam.thermostats.dailyPrograms.create({
    device_id: updatedLivingRoomThermostat.device_id,
    name: 'Weekday Program',
    periods: [
      { starts_at_time: '07:00:00', climate_preset_key: 'Home' },
      { starts_at_time: '09:00:00', climate_preset_key: 'Away' },
      { starts_at_time: '18:00:00', climate_preset_key: 'Home' },
      { starts_at_time: '22:00:00', climate_preset_key: 'Sleep' },
    ],
  })

  const weekendProgram = await seam.thermostats.dailyPrograms.create({
    device_id: updatedLivingRoomThermostat.device_id,
    name: 'Weekend Program',
    periods: [
      { starts_at_time: '08:00:00', climate_preset_key: 'Home' },
      { starts_at_time: '23:00:00', climate_preset_key: 'Sleep' },
    ],
  })

  // Use the daily programs to set the weekly program.
  await seam.thermostats.updateWeeklyProgram({
    device_id: updatedLivingRoomThermostat.device_id,
    monday_program_id: weekdayProgram.thermostat_daily_program_id,
    tuesday_program_id: weekdayProgram.thermostat_daily_program_id,
    wednesday_program_id: weekdayProgram.thermostat_daily_program_id,
    thursday_program_id: weekdayProgram.thermostat_daily_program_id,
    friday_program_id: weekdayProgram.thermostat_daily_program_id,
    saturday_program_id: weekendProgram.thermostat_daily_program_id,
    sunday_program_id: weekendProgram.thermostat_daily_program_id,
  })

## Step 5: Connect a real SmartThings-connected thermostat

Now that you have learned the basics of using the Seam API, you can connect and control a real SmartThings-connected device. To do so, make sure to switch to a [non-sandbox workspace](/core-concepts/workspaces#production-workspaces) and [API key](/core-concepts/authentication/api-keys).

For more details about setting up your real SmartThings-connected thermostat, see the [SmartThings Hubs + devices integration guide](./).

***

## Step 6: Build your application!

Seam makes it easy to develop your application. The robust Seam API and Seam SDKs in a wide variety of programming languages provide robust, up-to-date information about your thermostats. We also provide helpful thermostat-related events that enable you to monitor the status of your thermostats and the connected HVAC systems. Further, our simulation endpoints make it easy for you to test your thermostat app against events that can be difficult to orchestrate in your quality assurance (QA) environment using real devices.
