STDK Error Code Lookup

Look up SmartThings Device SDK (STDK) error codes and provide solutions with real-time GitHub documentation.

When to Use

• When users ask about mobile error codes like "81-001" or "04-100"
• When users ask about SDK internal error codes (NE01, CE01, EE01, etc.)
• When troubleshooting onboarding/connection failures
• When analyzing error messages in device logs

Error Code Sources

All error code information is retrieved from official GitHub repositories in real-time. No hardcoded data is used.

Primary Repository: https://github.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c

Source files accessed:

• Mobile Error Codes: doc/mobile_error_codes_guide.md
• Raw URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/main/doc/mobile_error_codes_guide.md
• SDK Internal Error Codes: src/include/iot_main.h (iot_st_ecode_t definitions)
• Raw URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/main/src/include/iot_main.h

Error Code Formats

1. Mobile Error Codes (User-facing Format)

MAIN(2-digit) - SUB(3-digit)
Examples: 81-001, 04-100, 15-200, 08-050

2. SDK Internal Error Codes (Development/Log Format)

NE01, NE02, NE11, CE01, CE11, CE20, EE01, EE10, etc.

Error Code Lookup Procedure

Step 1: Identify Error Code Format

• Mobile error code format XX-XXX → Fetch from mobile_error_codes_guide.md
• SDK internal error code format NE/CE/EE + number → Fetch from iot_main.h

Step 2: Fetch from GitHub Repository

The skill automatically fetches relevant documentation from GitHub:

Mobile codes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/main/doc/mobile_error_codes_guide.md
Internal codes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/main/src/include/iot_main.h

Step 3: Parse and Provide Answer

• Extract error code definition from GitHub
• Provide description and meaning
• List root causes and developer checklist
• Reference source code locations when applicable

Step 4: Error Code Not Found — Escalation Guide

If error code cannot be found in GitHub repository:

"The requested error code [ERROR_CODE] was not found in the SmartThings Device SDK repository. Please report this through the following channels:"

• GitHub Issues: https://github.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/issues
• Email Support: partners@smartthings.com

Important Rules

1. ALWAYS fetch from GitHub — Real-time documentation retrieval, never use hardcoded data
2. Provide complete context — Include error meaning, root causes, and solutions
3. Reference source files — Point to GitHub file locations for deeper investigation
4. Escalate when needed — Use escalation guide for unknown error codes
5. Cross-reference — Link related error codes and state machine information from official docs
