How to Install SmartThings Edge Drivers

SmartThings allows you to manage your smart home from a single app - but to ensure optimal performance, speed, and compatibility, installing the right Edge Driver is essential. Edge Drivers enable local control, unlock advanced features, and are sometimes required for certain devices to function properly.

Without the correct driver, your hub may fall back on a generic version that can cause issues like limited functionality, dimming problems, network instability, or missing device parameters. Installing an Edge Driver is simple - just follow the appropriate link below, log into your SmartThings account, and add the driver to your selected hub.
