FortrezZ MIMO2+ — SmartThings Installation Guide

Installation guide for configuring the FortrezZ MIMO2+ (Multiple Input/Multiple Output) Z-Wave module with a SmartThings home automation hub — covers device handler setup (two-part), SmartApp installation, and adding the module to the network.

Overview

This guide walks through integrating the FortrezZ MIMO2+ into a SmartThings Z-Wave network using FortrezZ's custom device handler and SmartApp code (published on FortrezZ's GitHub repository). The MIMO2+ requires two device handler files (Part A and Part B) instead of one.

Step 1 — Access Developer Resources

• Visit FortrezZ's GitHub repository to find the device handlers and SmartApps needed for the hub.
• Open a separate browser window and log into the SmartThings developer/IDE portal (graph.api.smartthings.com) from a PC.

Note: This manual integration method applies to the SmartThings Classic/Groovy IDE. Check the current SmartThings Marketplace first in case these device handlers have since been officially certified.

Step 2 — Create the Device Handlers

1. In the SmartThings IDE, select the My Device Handlers tab and click Create New Device Handler.
2. Select From Code.
3. Open the devicehandler_a.groovy script from FortrezZ's GitHub repository (MIMO2 folder). Select all, copy, and paste into the SmartThings code editor.
4. Click Create, then Save and Publish, For Me. A successful publish displays "Device type published successfully."
5. Repeat the same steps for the devicehandler_b.groovy script (Part B).
6. Once completed, two published device handlers should appear under My Device Handlers.

Assign the Device Type

1. Go to My Devices and select the FortrezZ MIMO2+ device.
2. Scroll down and click Edit.
3. Confirm that FortrezZ MIMO2+ is selected in the Type dropdown menu.
4. Click Update to finish.

Step 3 — Create the SmartApp

1. Select the My SmartApps tab and click New SmartApp.
2. Choose which SmartApp to use — the standard Alert App is the primary one documented for MIMO2+.
3. Go back to GitHub, navigate to the MIMO2 folder, and open the smartapp.groovy script. Select all, copy, and paste into the SmartApp code editor.
4. Click Create, then Save and Publish, For Me.

A successful publish displays "SmartApp published successfully" at the top.

Finished

Once both device handlers and the SmartApp are published and the MIMO2+ device type is correctly assigned, the module is ready to use in the SmartThings mobile app. Screenshots in the original guide show the MIMO2+ tile display in the SmartThings phone app for reference.

Support

For updated device handler or SmartApp code, always check FortrezZ's GitHub repository (github.com/fortrezz/smartthings) for the latest version, since SmartThings platform changes over time may require corresponding updates to the community code.
