Smartthings automation

SmartThings could natively support the ability for devices on the LAN (e.g. cameras or Blue Iris) to talk back and forth. But for the sake of security, they try to prevent Edge drivers having that ability.

The Edge Bridge is a community member's workaround for that and I think it works pretty well. The main thing it does is maintain the connection to the ST hub so that if the internal port number changes, the bridge knows about it. It's finicky to set up, but it's been pretty stable since.

Note: Edge Bridge can enable other functionality beyond allowing BI to activate a virtual motion sensor. I suggest reading up more on it.

Thanks! Seems though I have to wait for a Windows 11 version?
 
Have you gone through all the steps above to diagnose an issue? I don't see any reason the latest version wouldn't run on Windows 11.

But to answer your question, I don't believe @TAustin is actively developing EdgeBridge; it's been chugging along for several years without needing updates on my BI server.
 
Thanks. I can’t get it to even install on Windows 11. Windows 11 won’t even give me the option at all even if I try to bypass the typical security stuff.
