Gen1 Device and SmartApp for new Samsung SmartThings app

These Device Handlers and Schedule will work with the new Samsung SmartThings APP

The migration to the newest Samsing app has caused the Gen1 Spruce Controller device tile to break. The Spruce Scheduler is also no longer visible for new installs in the app.

v3 Latest 5-18-2021

• MAJOR change to device handler
• Update Spruce Controller to ST published device, but with minor update to facilitate scheduler
• Update Spruce Scheduler to work with updated device

Importing this code into the SmartThings IDE will bring back functionality as listed below:

• The new Spruce Controller device looks and works like the version listed under the brand "Spruce Irrigation"-
• Schedules can be setup using the classic Spruce Scheduler
• Individual zones can be used in automations

Updating Device and SmartApp code

The steps outlined in the links above use Github to “pull” the code into your account. Your SmartThings account will keep track of changes in the code, but will need to be told to “update”. This is done by repeating the Update from Repo button in the Device Handler and SmartApps pages of the SmartThings IDE at graph.api.smartthings.com/

You may Update from Repo anytime to get the latest code.
