Ability to use custom device from Hubitat Google Photos cloud to display picture attribute in Sharptools.

As long as the device implements, at least one of the core supported capabilities you should be able to authorize it using the standard authorization flow.

If it doesn’t, you might be able to authorize it manually as long as it supports a generic sensor or actuator capability.

If it doesn’t have either of those, you could either modify the driver code yourself as it’s a one line edition, or ask the driver author if they would be willing to add it.

On Hubitat, the process is similar. If you’ve connected Hubitat to SharpTools using the Manage Connections feature on your SharpTools.io user page, you’ll be presented with the list of core supported capabilities.

If the device does not implement one of the core capabilities, then you’ll need to manually authorize it in the list of Additional Devices. It will need to implement at least the Actuator or Sensor as noted in my post above.

To authorize Additional Devices in Hubitat:

1. Open the administration page for your Hubitat hub
2. Select ‘Apps’ from the Main Menu
3. Scroll down and select the currently installed version of SharpTools
4. You will be presented with a list of authorized devices (the same as those during the Manage Connections OAuth flow)
5. Scroll down and click the ‘Next’ Button
6. You’ll be presented with the option to select additional devices which implement the Actuator or Sensor capability. Select your additional devices and then click the Done button.

Thanks Josh for the prompt response!

The device does not have any of the core capabilities (Actuator or Sensor). Let me check if I can modify the code, or ask the author if he is willing to do it.
