Nice to know they are working on a fix 

@MarkCarline Maybe they are not... after a deeper inspection of the code, they still do not detect changes, they only perform the profiling when the device is added to the driver. And that only happens when you set it up for first time or when you switch drivers (but there are no more drivers to handle smart plugs so you can't force that change as workaround).

So, yeah, keep on reminding them they should fix that, reinstalling devices is not a good user experience.

  @mocelet  ok thanks. I've previously had issues with other smarthings connected devices and worked with aeotec support to fix the edge drivers (maybe aeotec are taking on some of the software support too).

Nice to know they are working on a fix 

@MarkCarline Aeotec just makes the hub, the drivers are made by SmartThings.

I've seen in their github they are already testing a driver enhancement to automatically change the profile when the power topology of the device changes so at least they are working on it so the reinstall is not needed.

Edit: On a second inspection of the code, they are not detecting changes, so back to square one. 

  @Cammm 

ok.  I'll see if I can get a ticket opened with smarthings/aeotec to see if they can fix this with their edge drivers.

I just opened a ticket with Aeotec Support Team to see what they say & push this with them.  I do see a "Refresh" button inside the advanced version of the web based GUI (as per "my dot smartthings dot com / advanced") but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Btw - The only issue I have had on the SmartThings side is that the plugs that have the upgraded firmware (to the beta version) don't show power or energy. If I take a plug which has the beta firmware and add it as a fresh new plug into SmartThings then the power and energy are exposed inside SmartThings for these types of routines. 

 

I don't see this issue within home assistant. I can re-interview and immediately they appear or if I just leave them for a day then power and energy then appear (so no re-interview is needed).

 

Anybody know how to reinterview a matter device inside Samsung SmartThings?

  @MarkCarline 

I knew that was going to happen, I even warned SmartThings few months ago... The official answer was "re-install it". I can't link to the SmartThings Community because TP-Link considers it a "illegal link" but search for my messages in the post "Tapo P110M (UK) Matter 1.3 but no Energy Monitoring".

Long story short, the current Matter drivers of SmartThings determine the profile of the device when you add it to SmartThings so it's using a profile that has no energy or power components. They didn't add any code to detect a change in the features of the device to change the profile so... even if the plug was sending the data to the hub, SmartThings will still think the plug has no power or energy.

They could use a more dynamic approach since having to reinstall is not necessary, but they have to modify the stock drivers to detect changes.

Yes, I just tried to create a routine and picked one of my updated plugs and it lets me pick the power or energy metrics. See the following screenshots...

  @MarkCarline Hey! I have a question about SmartThings. Does this beta firmware exposes actionable conditions for setting up automation routines like power draw detection? Thanks!

  @MarkCarline matter is a specification, not a platform.

you don't design your product to work on every platform, you design it to meet the specification. If it doesn't work on other platforms that's not your problem.

certification is completely irrelevant.

  @mocelet who cares? Like, genuinely, who cares about that they're "certified" or not "certified", if they work.

  @Cammm  - well - if they are certified then they will work with all matter eco systems rather than some bespoke one off hack which is a work around (and may not work with everything).

btw - i have 42x tapo plugs working great now on the beta certified firmware via energy/power monitoring straight into Home Assistant and Smartthings.  Nothing back from them yet on a release date.
