Vendors may have good documentation - they’re HORRIBLE about keeping archives for older devices.

Refresh your own copy of your docs on add/remove for your devices.

For the occasional light automation it would have worked - for my use case though, need MORE POWER, mwuhahahaha… Hopefully it cuts the slogging on the system when I put a demanding load on it. I started on an 8GB Pi4B, but quickly realized my use case is very demanding on the storage and have already purchased the 256G M.2 SSD to fix that.

SMART THINGS FOR MAC HOW TO

If you don’t know how to spell YAML, JSON or SSH, don’t do it.

I’d never suggest it to my parents, for instance.

It’s easier than I expected - but still not appropriate for a layperson.

I’ve been making notes of the things I’ve hit in my integration and will report a few bugs but overall from a tech perspective it’s been okay. however - not so much fun hanging off a ladder 15’ in the air., so yeah - the 20’ ladder has made an appearance this week a few times. Mostly the fact that many devices are out of reach and never cause trouble so normal ops it’s not an issue.

SMART THINGS FOR MAC INSTALL

The most confusing thing starting was install methods, but the documentation about the methods has improved a lot. I would recommend home assistant os for anyone starting from Smartthings since it will be easier with access to all the add ons. I have some tuya devices that also nicely integrate, and Alexa, blink cameras and Ring that even though are cloud integrations, they work extremely well. The devices all just worked, no complex Groovy device handler needed. Most devices I have are zwave and zigbee I have an aetotec zstick with zwavejs2mqtt, and a zzh stick with zigbee2mqtt. It wasn’t the ideal way to start, but I learned more about docker and Linux this way so probably worth it in the end. The computer was just lying around collecting dust so there were minimal startup costs. My setup is a little complex and I’m using an old Mac mini I installed Ubuntu on, and run home assistant container/docker on it. I tried hanging on, and a a former wink user my bar was low, but enough was enough

First they get rid of the classic app, popular Alexa integration was next, now their entire Groovy custom code platform is slated for the the dumpster. Smartthings just kept pulling the rug out with no clear plan for the future.

Home Assistant continues to get easier with each update, with more UI programming and less yaml. Even then I can simply role back to give me time to figure things out. Although there’s more of a learning curve, Everything just works in Home Assistant, and my biggest issue might be a minor inconvenience from not paying enough attention to a breaking change before updating. The best part is I dont have to constantly worry about what is going on with the “future” of Smartthings anymore.

It’s much faster, more reliable, and the phone app works much better and is way more customizable. About four months ago I switched everything over fully to Home-assistant and haven’t looked back.
