Homekit Controller for C-8 Hub

🎬 Get Started Using C-8

I bought a Hubitat C-8, and I'm slowly switching over from Google Home. My air conditioning is connected to an Ecobee 3 Lite thermostat, which has homekit compatibility. It looks like the Hubitat Controller app is only compatible with the C-8 Pro.

I have it setup on my hub with the ecobee app, but my main reason for switching from Google is local control, and avoiding cloud servers.

Is Homekit Controller coming to the C-8 hub?

No, the Pro has more RAM, which was found to be necessary for it to work well.

As @bertabcd1234 indicated, HomeKit Controller isn't compatible with the C-8.

However, if you run an instance of Home Assistant (HA) on your home network (in a VM or on dedicated hardware), ecobee thermostats can be paired to HA via HomeKit. And, there's a Hubitat integration that permits devices paired to HA to be imported into Hubitat. I used this approach for a long time before switching to the new HomeKit Controller in Hubitat.
