Hi,
I consider buying the forest shuttle curtain rail. I can’t figure out which type integrates in home assistant. There are wifi/zigbee and zwave versions. Anyone having any suggestions where to start?
Gr. and thanks in advance,
Martin

They are listed as compatible with ZwaveJS, which is used by HA.

If I had to choose, I will go that route…
You will need a Zwave controller, like the Zwave.me UZB stick.
That’s my first thought, but my concern is that there is no integration for forest. Do you think I don’t need an integration? The forest can also be used by pulling at the curtain, so it’s reasonably smart by itself…?
I’m pretty sure, it will work without integration. It will present it self as a window cover, HA can manage that itself.
And if not, you can still return it
I also found some reviews at Robb shop, where is said, it worked out of the box with Domoticz, Fibaro and Homey. So, it should do the same with HA
Thanks again. I will give it a try.
Were you able to connect it to HA?
In case you have a forrest shuttle with a wifi-dongle:
I noticed that the forrest app looks exactly the same as smart-life app. Connecting to that works perfectly with HA
First you have to connect your smart-life/tuya to HA -->info can be found here: Tuya - Home Assistant
Then to connect Forrest to smart-life:
With that you can now open and close it with HA.
