It's pretty straight forward. There's an app that remotely accesses dashboards for free. You can put devices and scenes on the dashboards and interface with them there. So turning lights on and off, adjusting fan speed, light color, setting your house to away, whatever. Free.

What you can't do is go in and build a new automation or add a new device. Stuff like that. I've been on hubitat for about 3 years now and have a lot of automation set up and I've never needed to access the admin side remotely even though I can do it in 10 seconds with my VPN.

I agree, there is a lot of push on this every time it is posted here, about how cool it is once moved from SmartThings, HA, etc. Well, I fell for this when it was posted in November and I really regret doing it. No user friendly app, no out of box setup options, lot of manual work to get things working such as Lutron (FYI, only pro bridge supported, while HA supports both and SmartThings supports cloud based official integration) , Kasa (very unreliable, EM devices causing HE hub to alert as severe CPU usage), devices tab doesn't show all devices like motion sensors, etc. (that is a feature? !), complicated dashboard (editing JSON and using device ID numbers without easily knowing what device it is, comparing it with HA which supports intellityping using vscode is really not making sense.) I agree that smartthings is unreliable at times due to cloud outages but it does provide better in-home and out-of-home access to devices without any fee, HA provides better automation and dashboard. HE may be good for someone good at tinkering things to make it work.

I made the switch from SmartThings almost two years ago. Haven't looked back.

I have no idea what this is. But I'm gonna buy it and ask questions later. Like what it does and why should I care and do I need to tinker. All important for decision making but I think this sounds like a convenient device that might need new investing on new devices.
You are a pillar of the community fully embracing the sprit! Love to see it!

Heavy investing on new devices.

I hemmed and hawed about "needing" to upgrade to the C7 and then regretted not pulling the trigger on the last sale. Ordered some new 700 series sensors and then really was kicking myself last week. Won't make the same mistake twice.

In.

Happy 2022!

I have a dual radio dongle to try to get home assistant to work on my unRAID machine. I tried getting it to work once, but it wasn't cooperating, wondering if I should cut my losses on the $50 dongle and HA, and go with this.

Im on smartthings and I feel the automations are holding me back, I hate having to setup two automations for some thing to turn on/off.

edit:
just returned the gocontrol dongle. gonna buy this.

The go control sucks. And Hubitat is not HASS so if you already have anything built in HA, it won't carry over.

I didn't get far enough in to be able to pull devices off of smartthings over to hass.
Hopefully going from smartthings to hubitat will be pretty easy.

I switched from Home Assistant to Hubitat and could not be happier. Sure ha can do things Hubitat can do but you need a computer science degree to do it. Witness the nanomotes. Brought them back to life without any code. I am all zwave it took some time but excluded them from HA shut down HA and added to Hubitat. Much better zwave integration than the built in zwave in Home Assistant. And no clear direction on how to migrate to zwave js on docker on Ubuntu. I kept having devices fall off zwave network on HA.

Any suggestion on which brands are best for zwave switches, sensors and outlets? I am new to zwave home automation. A quick search shows Zooz and Inovolli, but I have not heard of these brands before. Has anyone here had any experience with them?

Can you share some tips? I have around 20 z-wave switches, what would be the most effective way to switch them over? TIA.

Still running smartthings have been tempted to switch, but wasn't there a security update to hubitat recently that makes it difficult to "remote access" the hub to control it from elsewhere

Easiest way I've found is if you have a z-stick you can walk around your house and exclude each device with the stick very quickly and then include all of the devices in hubitat. The stick isn't necessary, just makes it easier.

They added some new paid features but you can still turn switches on and off and such from the app from remote like you've always been able to.

I've been very happy with Zooz. Their recent lines aee very innovative and great bang for buck. Not necessarily the best but I have no complaints. Some of mine are 5+ years old.

Only to remotely access your admin portal (hub's web page). If your router has VPN, you don't need this.

They also offer premium backup and protection - the database can be restored to new hub without the need to re-include devices.
