10. Here is a list of all your devices in JSON format. Find the right one (that you want to ping) in this list. Near it's name you will find (modelName) — this is called a "property" in JSON format. Locate nearest dvceID property in this brackets as shown on screenshot and fill it in the corresponding field.

Automatically obtain WMONID and JSESSIONID

Do you know JavaScript? Use my node.js script to obtain WMONID and JSESSIONID automatically

import chrome from 'chrome-cookies-secure'

chrome.getCookies('https://smartthingsfind.samsung.com/', function(err, cookies) {
  console.log('WMONID=', cookies['WMONID'])
  console.log('JSESSIONID=', cookies['JSESSIONID'])
})

Simply install chrome-cookies-secure, paste the script above into index.js file, run it with node index.js and allow it to use macOS Keychain
