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 i…

Thanks Josh, I should have thought to go back to the original thread. It actually works just like SmartThings. Just taking a while to get use to the new format.
