Smartthings_exporter is a command line tool to export information about your SmartThings sensors in a format that can be scraped by Prometheus. The tool uses the GoSmart library to talk to SmartThings and collect sensor data and exposed the metrics over http.
The installation instructions assume a properly installed and configured Go development environment. The very first step is to download and build Smartthings_exporter (this step will also download and compile the GoSmart library):
$ go get -u github.com/kadaan/smartthings_exporter
Before you can use Smartthings_exporter, you need to register it with Smartthings.
The first step is to setup the API that Smartthings_exporter uses to communicate with Smartthings. Follow the GoSmart Smartthings API setup steps.
Take note of the client_id and client_secret of your SmartThings app that you just created.
We now need to register Smartthings_exporter to with your Smartthings app.
Run:
$ smartthings_exporter register --smartthings.oauth-client=[client_id] --smartthings.oauth-secret==[client_secret] > .st_token
Follow the prompts to authorize the app.
Now we can start Smartthings_exporter by running:
$ smartthings_exporter --smartthings.oauth-client=<client_id> --smartthings.oauth-token.file=.sttoken
