I currently have a smart home based on Smartthings. I have a lot of Shelly devices including in wall switches that are Matter over Ethernet, also Shelly Matter over Ethernet plugs, Aqara devices (thermostat, doorbell cam, Light and Presense sensors) that are Matter over Ethernet, Eve plugs, door sensors that are Matter over Thread, Tapo plugs that are Matter over Ethernet, Eero wifi, Bond bridge for blinds. I have a couple of Sony Bravia tvs. A sonos speaker. I am wondering how I would migrate to Homey Pro. Does anyone have any guidance on this?
Some Tapo devices can be added via the official Tapo Homey app (Note that not all devices are supported!), Shelly devices can be added via the official Shelly Homey app. Aqara can be added using the official Aqara Homey app. Bond and Eve also have a Homey app. I don’t think Eero will work with Homey (it will still connect to the WiFi of course, but you can’t read stats from your Eero within Homey)
Honestly having been through the same thing, just cut the tie and move it all. Start again.
Especially now ST are adding a paywall to their api so no bridging using HA or other platforms.
I have been with ST since their first year and I now only use it for samsung devices.
Yes that paywall thing got me too. But I have a lot of stuff, devices and routines in Smatthings and am hoping for something a little less brute force.
Yes you can use Google Home to start SmartThings scenes in Google Home automations. So you can create a Virtual Device in Homey and then create a Google Home automation that starts a Smartthings scene when the Homey virtual device turns on.
Interesting. I feel like (and I haven’t got a Homey Pro yet) I would be more likely to try to migrate things a bit at a time without introducing something new like Google Home. I wonder if devices themselves, without routines, can live in both places? If so I could recreate routines one at a time. I was worried about Matter over Thread but I realize only my Eve plugs are only Matter over Thread. So, those wouldn’t be too bad.
I thought you meant integrating SmartThings with Homey, but the devices can be connected via their Homey apps as well if you want to move away from ST completely. See the other post:
Ah, no, my goal is to move everything to Homey.
