Needed to support the new Smartthings app.

Can you guarantee these changes will work for all SmartThings users?

SmartThings still does not officially support custom DTHs in the new SmartThings app, and users are only guessing what lines need to be added to get devices with custom DTHs to work in the new mobile app.

These guesses are not always successful, as evidenced by this thread on the ST Community forums:

As stated in the link you provided, devices with custom DTH always appear in the new SmartThings app. They are just not usable without these additional fields.
I cannot say for certain that this will work for all users, but for me they work. That's the reason I only changed these 3 DTHs, as they are the only ones I currently have and could test.
Moreover, I paired the smoke detector with the new app, and it attached the correct DTH by itself. Even if these do not work for someone, I'm not sure how this could be worse than the current situation of totally unusable devices.

@deiger How did you create a custom VID and got it working? Tried to create one for a Netatmo device in the new dev portal but it does not work. I tried to use yours and it works, but I need to add some more capabilities for my device
