Hey guys i'm trying to install the new smartapp from the instructions on github and i'm at step 9 from Install SmartApp (via github integration) but when i click on install i get the following error

physicalgraph.app.exception.UnknownDeviceTypeException: Device type 'AlarmDecoder action button indicator' in namespace 'alarmdecoder' not found. @line 1079 (doCall)

this is whats on line 1079
def nd = addChildDevice("alarmdecoder", "AlarmDecoder action button indicator", "${state.ip}:${state.port}:armStay", state.hub,


it doesnt create any devices at all.. it does give me an uninstall option to go back.


i've rebooted the AD network appliance but it still gives me this error. any ideas?

I really need my alarm reintegrated with SmartThings.

I’ve even googled around for the previous version to put back but can’t find it on github.

Does anyone have a link or can find the old smart app ?

make sure your alarmdecoder library itself is up to date and make sure you have the newest webapp

ssh in and issue these commands

cd /opt/alarmdecoder
git pull origin master
sudo python setup.py install
cd /opt/alarmdecoder-webapp
git pull origin master
sudo reboot

Well unfortunately I'm not familiar with that portion of the project, you're better off posting an issue on github or emailing support directly

i email them over two weeks ago but nothing. the only reason i bought the AD appliance is the smartapp capabilities.

i just opened an issue in github also thanks..

p.s solicit some help in getting the spam bots under control.

I don't work for them... I have no input on how things are run or allocated resource wise, I just help when I have time - totally forgot about the project to be honest until I got a private message notification in my email.
