How To: Install Lynx Driver on a Samsung SmartThings Hub

Due to recent updates to Samsung's SmartThings platform API, all new devices being onboarded to Lynx through a SmartThings Hub will require that a driver be installed on the hub before devices are paired.

This installation will be completed by the Order Fulfillment team when you purchase new hubs from Lynx, but if you would like to use a hub that has not been programmed by Lynx, you can install the driver by following the steps below.

Before you begin, if you have lock(s) paired to the hub you will need to unpair the lock(s). 
Any other smart devices like thermostat, door/ window sensor, garage controller, leak sensor 
can remain paired to the hub.
For the driver to install successfully, the firmware of the hub should be 000.038.000XX or 
greater.

Steps to install the Lynx driver on a SmartThings Hub:

Step 1:	Log into the Samsung SmartThings mobile app with the account that the hub is configured on. If you do not have the account credentials for your hub, please reach out to Lynx Support for assistance logging in.
Step 2:	Confirm that the hub is added to the account and online (showing a solid green LED). If it is not, follow the steps below: If the hub is added to the account but offline, ensure it is plugged in and connected to the internet using an Ethernet cable or WiFi. If the hub is still not showing a green light, follow the steps to troubleshoot an offline hub. If the hub has not been added to the account, follow the steps to add a new hub to the SmartThings account.
Step 3:	Once the hub is online, log into your Samsung account in a browser at the following URL: https://account.samsung.com
Step 4:	Visit the following URL: https://bestow-regional.api.smartthings.com/invite/Pw2D6wYGAXj3
Step 5:	Click the "Enroll" button to select the hub you would like to install the Lynx driver on.
Step 6:	After a minute or so, you will have 2 options. Please Click "Available Drivers".
Step 7:	Click "Install" to install the Lynx driver. Once the install button turns to uninstall it means the drivers are installed successfully.

Once the driver is installed, you can pair a lock to the hub.
