[RELEASE] Other Hub SmartThings Integration 2.0

[pcgirl]

Do I need to install all the DH even if I don't use or have all of these devices? Or do I just need to install what I need?

Just install the ones you need.

Is this just for seeing devices from Hubitat in ST or does it go both ways? You would be able to see ST devices in Hubitat?

[ogiewon]

This allows Hubitat Devices to be created as virtual SmartThings devices. The communications are two-way, thereby allowing changes to the ST Virtual devices to actually cause the Hubitat physical devices to be changed.

This integration does not allow for ST Physical devices to show up in Hubitat. To do that, use Hubitat’s built-in software and custom ST app to do that. But, that communication is one way, from ST to Hubitat.

OK, I am trying to figure out a way to have my iphone presence sensors show up in hubitat so I can use them in webcore pistons. I am currently trying to migrate to hubitat from ST but there are some things that have to stay in ST at the moment because hubitat can do it yet.

Here you go!

Hubitat™ SmartThings Integration

The Hubitat SmartThings Integration is a pair of apps that allow devices in a SmartThings system to report their events to Hubitat. This allows for integrating the two systems during migration from SmartThings to Hubitat, or as needed for devices that only work in SmartThings, while the primary system is Hubitat. The first app is called Hub Link, and is a built-in app in Hubitat. The second app is called Send Hub Events, and is to be installed in the SmartThings system. The steps to install …

Thanks, I just found this also!

I can't remove the other hub device viewer app from smart things. I hit the remove button and it says, "An unexpected error occurred".

Hi, You need to remove all the virtual devices created by the SmartApp first.

Thanks, got it un-installed and reinstalled.

Now when I share mylight from hubitat to ST, it shows up as OH-mylight. That's great.

The light is on and in the ST app I click it off. The light goes off, but the ST app gets stuck at "turning off" and then when I reaload the device shows as "On" again even though it is now off.

Ah... ok I've set the "how often should device data get refreshed?" setting in the hubitat pusher to 5m, and after a run of this the state in the ST app refreshes properly. But that seems to mean that I'm only able to trigger the device once every 5m from the ST app, since I have to wait for the timed refresh before the ST app updates to the correct state.

turn on real-time integration

[bill]

It is on. This was the behavior I observed with it on.

[eyrich]

did you include any device types in the

"Push these events to SmartThings as they happen:"

[jrfarrar]

Turned off "Debug" Messages but still seeing them, not sure if that is by design or not or maybe more in debug.

It's a bug, when I have a moment I'll publish a corrected version. In the meantime you can comment out line 631 to stop the logging.

So can modes and HSM status be sent to ST yet?

Modes is still on my To Do list, but I don't plan on implementing HSM,

Any update on sending HE modes and perhaps HE arming status to ST?

I THINK this is what I need to migrate from Vera to Hubitat, but please confirm (I read the thread).

I have a ST Hub in my house (great Internet)
I want to put a Hubitat in a remote location (spotty cell-based internet)

Can I install Other Hub and have my remote Hubitat devices show up in my ST app and control them?

I want to have local execution because of the spotty Internet, but I still want to be able to remotely unlock the door or turn on the heater, and Hubitat doesn't have a mobile app yet, and I can't get a good VPN over the cell-based internet.

Thanks!

That is correct. I wasn't sure if locks were supported by Other Hub, but from my reading above, they appear to be.

But note that you don't really need Other Hub or SmartThings at all to do this. You can use a Hubitat Dashboard with the cloud link to view and control Hubitat devices remotely directly from Hubitat--no need to put ST in the middle. (You may have seen misinformation plastered in some corners of the Internet that claim the only way to access Hubitat remotely is with a VPN into your network. Until the mobile app is released, that is currently only the case for hub administration--not device control. Hubitat Dashboards, which are intended for this purpose, have both local and optional cloud links available.) You can also use SharpTools.io, a third-party, cloud-only dashboard solution but one that has an official integration built in to Hubitat.

[plymptonia]

Thanks for the confirmation! I’ve got a Hubitat enroute to be delivered Saturday.

And yes, I was under the impression that I needed a VPN to get back to the hubitat dashboard. I’ll be testing that out once I get my Hubitat - I can simulate it with my phone hotspot I think.

Thanks!
