Get started with SmartThings Hubs + Smart Locks
SmartThings Hub is connected to your local network using either Wifi or ethernet. The Smart Lock is paired to SmartThings via Zigbee or Z-Wave. These locks can then be remotely locked, unlocked, and have access codes programmed to allow keyless entry.
To pair a SmartThings Hub and smart lock with our API, we'll need to sign into a SmartThings account. We can do this by creating a Seam Webview.
Make sure to install the relevant Seam package for your language...
Python
Javascript
Ruby
from seamapi import Seam
seam = Seam()
webview = seam.connect_webviews.create(accepted_providers=["smartthings"])
assert webview.login_successful is False
# Send the webview URL to your user
print(webview.url)
import Seam from "seamapi"
const seam = Seam()
const webview = await seam.connect_webviews.create({
accepted_providers: ["smartthings"]
})
console.log(webview)
/*

require "seamapi"
seam = Seam::Client.new(api_key: "MY_API_KEY")
webview = seam.connect_webviews.create(
accepted_providers: ["smartthings"]
)
puts webview
# <Seam::ConnectWebview:0x006a950

# device_selection_mode="none">
We should now send the Connect Webview URL to the user, when the user signs in, we'll see a "completed" status on the webview or
login_successful set to true.Python
Javascript
Ruby
updated_webview = seam.connect_webviews.get(webview.connect_webview_id)
assert updated_webview.login_successful
const updated_webview = await seam.connect_webviews.get(
webview.connect_webview_id
)
console.log(updated_webview.login_successful)
// true
updated_webview = seam.connect_webviews.get(
webview.connect_webview_id
)
puts updated_webview.login_successful
# true
We can now find all the devices that are associated with the connected account that was signed into. From the returned payload, see whether the door lock is locked or unlocked.
