Hi @Gthompson98 the plug-in currently requires air conditioning devices to have all of the following capabilities:

public static readonly requiredCapabilities = [
    'switch',
    'temperatureMeasurement',
    'thermostatCoolingSetpoint',
    'relativeHumidityMeasurement',
    'airConditionerMode',
  ];

My best guess is, that one of those capabilities is missing and that the devices could thus not be added.

Unfortunately it is not possible right now to see from logs, which exact capability is missing. What I could offer is to add some more detailed logging in the next Version so that we can find out what exactly is missing. Some capabilities like relativeHumidityMeasurement are not strictly needed and I could then try to make them optional.

You could also run the following command in your terminal (if you're running some sort of Unix) and check what the capabilities of your devices are: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" https://api.smartthings.com/v1/devices

I am guessing it's the humidity measurement that is missing. It would be great if to add the debugging in the next version. Really appreciate it.
I tried executing the command you provided in the terminal but I get the following response;

401 Authorization Required

from homebridge-smartthings-ac.

Did you replace YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with your actual access token in the command? I just published a new version that will log what exact capability is missing. And while i was on it, i also made the humidity measurement optional, so maybe it is already working now 🤞

That worked! Below is the log;

It really looks like your plugin can be made to work with more generic SmartThings devices than just Samsung AC's. Perhaps there are generic capabilities that can be used to support more devices.
Those fans that show up are running Bond FW. I don't have a Bond hub but Smartthings found them via wifi scan.

Thanks for the help!

Glad to hear that! Well, in principle it is possible of course to support other accessories as well, however it won't be as easy as making humidity measurements optional. Fans for example use a different accessory type in HomeKit, so we need to distinguish between ACs and Fans. Not saying it's not possible but it certainly would be a bit of work...

Understood. In the future, would it be possible to add support for temperature readings in DegF in addition to DegC? Just realized why I've been getting errors for the temperature setting... "ERROR[SmartThings Ac Bridge F714@Samsung Room A/C@@HEATING Threshold Temperature] characteristic was supplied illegal value: number 72 exceeded maximum of 30"

Well, that's actually a good point I haven't considered. The current limits will only work correctly for Celsius... I'll create a new ticket for that 👍
