Does the Sure flap pet door connect integration need the hub?

Just ordered one of these hoping I wouldn’t need the £85 hub as home assistant could do that part, am increasingly getting the impression that’s not the case. Can anyone with experience of this confirm either way? Much appreciated.

I got the Sure Cat flap installed, I had to use the Hub to communicate with the door from HA.

well that will teach me to make optimistic purchases, thanks for the information :pray:t2:
