Building my own integrations for smartthings, so I want some way to test things from my computer as opposed to having to sniff and decode app traffic from the phone. I found this CLI tool that seems to do what I want. It isn’t the most user friendly but it seems to work well. I mean, if you want user friendly, you can use the app. ;) Install brew install smartthingscommunity/smartthings/smartthings Commands Mike-MBP:miketest mike$ smartthings --help Command Line Interface for the SmartThings APIs VERSION @smartthings/cli/1.

Uv is actually pretty cool and fast Most people are familiar with pip in Python. It’s a package manager that lets you install packages from the Python Package Index (PyPI)… and elsewhere. The one drawback is that pip is slow. It’s written in Python, and it’s not the fastest thing in the world. Enter Uv. Uv is a package manager that is written in Rust, and it’s fast. It’s really fast.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) Spec at modelcontextprotocol.io While right now only Claude desktop and a couple of other apps support it, it’s an elegant way to extend the capabilities of a LLM. You can think of it like a plugin system, but it solves a lot of the problems that come with plugins such as security, performance, and compatibility. Security in this case comes by having a small ‘server’ that is separate from the main app, and that can be run in a sandbox (if needed).
