Smartthings Binding : adding support for new Smartthings API

[lo92fr]

Smarthings binding is not working since several month because of major change on Smartthings API side.
Previous binding was based on a Smartapp installed on local hub.
The new way to do it should be to used the Smartthings cloud API, installating a Smartapp on the cloud side.

This issue was references at different places 👍

• [smartthings] Links to SmartThings developer documentation are broken #16946
• https://community.openhab.org/t/smartthings-binding-eol/138750

A pull request to rework the binding is currently in work:
Update Smartthings binding for new API #17855

There is still some work to be done, but the new code becoms pretty ready for beta testing.

This new issue is to follow and discuss around the progress of this rewrite.

@lolodomo ,

I've create this new issue to follow the work on the Smartthings pull request.
Can you please link it to the pull request.
I'm don't have sufficient access right on my side to do it.

What is working so far / need to be address, as December 15, 2024:

Working :

• The onboarding process is now pretty end to 99%, far more easier then before as the setup of Smartthings apps is automated in last versions.
• The state update is now working on both side, from Smartthings to Openhab, and from Openhab to Smarthings.
• State update from Smarthings to Openhab use new Event system from Smarthings cloud.
• Typeregistry becomes more complete, and I've get success working with multiple device : Light, Smartplug, Kitchen appliance and others.
• The converters are now back, and handle most of type conversion between Openhab and Smarthings.

Need to be address:

• Do some more test, on more device, getting more case handle by converter and type registry.
• Rewrite the documentation.
• Code clean-up.

I have not worked on this binding in several year. I no longer have a configuration I can use to do openhab development. Sorry.
