When you add new devices, SmartThings will automatically select the device handler with the closest-matching *fingerprint*. However, this process is not perfect and it often fails to select the custom device handler that you might want. You may also have pre-existing devices that you want to have use the new device handler. In these cases, you need to change the device type of each device instance from the IDE:

However, this process is not perfect and it often fails to select the desired device handler. You may also have pre-existing devices that you want to have use the new device handler. In these cases, you need to change the device type of each device instance from the IDE:

4. Within the SmartThings IDE, click on '*My Devices*' at the top to list all your devices.
5. Click on the appropriate device to bring up its properties, then click the '*Edit*' button at the bottom.
6. Change the '*Type*' using the drop-down box (custom devices will be near the bottom of the list).
7. Hit the '*Update*' button at the bottom.
8. In the SmartThings app on your phone, navigate to the device and edit its settings. Review each setting to ensure it has a suitable value, then hit '*Done*'. (This will trigger the update() command and ensure the device instance is fully configured for use with the new device handler).
8. IMPORTANT: In the SmartThings app on your phone, navigate to the device (you should the GUI has updated to reflect the new tiles configuraiton). Press the gear icon to edit the device's settings and review each setting to ensure it has a suitable value, then press '*Done*'. (This will trigger the update() command and ensure the device instance is fully configured for use with the new device handler).
