Hi all, new HA user here. HAOS installed on a VM on an old Mac mini, which is working fine. I’m starting to work through my setup and have a question about shelly switches.
Bit of background: We live in an old cottage where all the walls are 60cm (2’) thick stone, not much gets through them. Because of this I’ve installed Ubiquiti access points around the house with a Unifi router and this gives me solid wifi everywhere so that’s been my primary choice for hardware connections. For the past few years I’ve been running Homekit, as it’s a local setup, with an apple TV as the hub. The lighting is mostly led downlighters controlled with Shelly switches flashed with homekit compatible firmware. There’s also a few Hue lights which I’m phasing out gradually and some hue sensors which I’ll replace with ones that work directly with Home Assistant as I progress through moving everything to home assistant and off Homekit.
Main thing for now is, would I be better reflashing all the shelly switches to standard shelly firmware or just using the homekit integration in home assistant. Reflashing is more of a pain but I’m wondering if it would be better in the long run and make the system more responsive instead of going through a homekit integration. Thanks.
