I added my Samsung range using the SmartThings integration, and I can only see the oven sensors. I was hoping to see cooktop sensors too. Anyone know if this is possible?

How did you make out with this? Shopping cooktops over here and would like to integrate something with HA.
You can use sharptools.io free tier to do it.
Make a text helper called “cooktop state” in home assistant. Then have sharp tools update it.
Set up sharptools.io by following their instructions after clicking the “Manage Connections” buttons. You’ll need to add SmartThings and Home Assistant. Home assistant requires an add on to be installed. After the add on, you can expose only the “cooktop state” above, if you want.
Then add a rule in sharptools.io to change the state. I’m using:
Device, Oven, cooktopOperaringState changes
Then for the action, select device, “cooktop state” from home assistant, then “set value”. Click the plus on the right and pick “context variable”, then “event value”.
Then you can set an automation to use it.
The only useful “smart” thing I found with this range is that I can update its clock from a Home Assistant automation after a power outage. It’s ridiculous that this is even necessary for an internet connected device. Samsung could have easily built an NTP client into the machine to do this automatically. But at least I can do it with “Hey Siri, update the range clock!”
pretty interesting, may i ask what was your inspiration to add it to ha?
