Installation - first steps

Adding your devices

  1. Open your SmartThings mobile app
  2. Go to: 'Marketplace' > 'Smartapps' > '+ My Apps' > Cast web - service manager
  3. Enter your cast-web-api address. The API will output something looking like this http://192.168.2.105:3000/ on startup.
    Don't copy the whole thing, just enter the above underlined part without http:// or any slashes.
  4. Tap 'Discover devices'
  5. Select your devices and click 'Done'

Done! Your devices should show up on the Smartapps main page and your SmartThings app.
