I started with SmartThings, tried Hubitat older hub but never fully integrated it. Then added Hobbs so I could integrate with HomeKit. Worked ok but not fully satisfied. I just ordered a new C7 hub and want to integrate so that as many of my 75 plus devices as possible work with HomeKit. I have 35 …

I can't speak to HomeKit since the "extended beta" integration was just released two days ago and my HomePod doesn't arrive until later today :slight_smile: Others probably have more experience with it. @rlithgow1 has a link to a series of recommendations for migrating. Unfortunately I failed to …

If you're working to shut i…

@jimbjayhawk Another point for the community developed Homebridge Option. If you want to include other systems (e.g. Ring) to Homekit, you don't have to include them into Hubitat, but rather, in the Hombridge app, on your other computer that you run it, install the Ring plugin.

Z-wave Devices: 1: You do not need Wink/ST/Vera etc. to exclude your existing z-wave devices. Hubitat can do the exclusion for you. (Make sure you turn off your old hub first!) In most cases this is sufficient before pairing. Sometimes though you may need to factory reset the device. Non Plus z-wave devices may have to be included/excluded …
