Ok, I’m struggling. I do have SmartThings but cannot remote in no mater what I do to configure. I did end up doing HA Cloud and I was able to remote in and connect to smartthings. However, I’ve never been able to control my Sensi thermostats. I did not renew HA cloud and setup standard remote access and can connect just fine. But, cannot get SmartThings connected this way. Wink sounds like an option but another monthly fee. If I have a fee I’d rather just stick with HA cloud. But ideally I’d rather “eliminate” all cloud services. I did pickup a “Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 Z-Wave Hub Z-Wave” to try and eliminate SmartThings for my smoke detectors. I’d like to eliminate Smart Life and any other cloud services (as much as possible) and control all my devices independent fro the cloud. But, I’m stumped with my theremostats.
I’m pulling mine in via HomeKit (you will need the C wire for that though)
