Hi All,
I currently have a SmartThings v2 Hub which nicely connects my Z-Wave and Zigbee devices. I am planning on moving to HA and had read about two issues of concern in my plan.
1- There is an issue with HA and managing Zigbee devices - the USB Zigbee sticks are 100%.
2- Implementing MQTT to bridge the SmartThings Hub and HA is also problematic.
For those who have done this, what was your approach to managing Zigbee devices? Does implementing MQTT simply make the the SmartThings hub a Zigbee/Z-Wave radio and HA just uses it to manage those devices (or am I misunderstanding the relationship between HA, MQTT, and SmartThings)?
Thank you for your help!
