Trigger scenes or automations in Home Assistant from Hubitat connected button/switch

Hi,

I want to trigger some automations in Home Assistant from a zigbee button connected on my Hubitat hub.
Is this possible ?

I see there is a HADB (device bridge) written for Hubitat but that is only for importing devices from Home Assistant to Hubitat.
What I want is to import the button from Hubitat to Home assistant

there is also a Hubitat integration for Home assistant here:

But it seems to use the Maker API , which means it will not be possible to trigger anything on Home Assistant from Hubitat device.

any ideas ?

Nevermind. I didn't know that the Maker API has a post feature.
And the HA integration supports this.
So my button is now detected and works fine.

This is exactly what I want to do. I don't understand how use the Post feature you mentioned to trigger a scene or automation in Home Assistant.

  1. Create your device.
  2. Install an instance of Maker API and add the device to it (or use an existing instance of Maker)
  3. On HA; install the Hubitat integration using HACS.
  4. Setup the Hubitat integration to use the Maker API instance with the device you want to use.

The Hubitat integration will crate the devices in HA that will mirror back to Hubitat. There's no special configuration needed for the "POST" function. Use the device in HA to setup your automation.

I have the Maker API and the Home Assistant integration setup. I can see and control the devices in both HE and HA. But I don't know how to trigger an automation in HA based on a physical button press.

For example if I press my Zooz ZEN34 remote switch top button, I want to run a HA automation to turn on some zigbee lights.
