More Information

This plugin is based on homebridge-smartthings by @iklein99, but adds critical improvements to the authentication workflow:

• Custom Webhook Endpoint Support: Users can configure their own public-facing webhook server to handle OAuth 2.0 authorization callbacks from Samsung SmartThings. This is particularly useful for advanced users with self-hosted environments or custom automation stacks.

• Automatic Token Refresh: The plugin automatically handles refresh and access token renewal, eliminating the need for manual re-authentication or use of short-lived Personal Access Tokens (PATs). This makes the integration much more robust for long-term operation.

These enhancements significantly improve the plugin’s flexibility and reliability in real-world scenarios, particularly for developers, power users, and those integrating Homebridge into broader home automation ecosystems.

Therefore, this plugin offers greater functionality than the existing verified plugin and solves key limitations in its design.
