SmartThings

Welcome to Michael Struck's GitHub Page.

Thank you for visiting my GitHub Repository. In January 2015, I purchased my first SmartThings hub and light switch and I was hooked! I immediately equipped both of my houses with multiple devices, and learned the SmartThings Groovy code so I could create my own unique applications. Others have found these useful, so I wanted to share them with the world.
