Lots of people are using Home Assistant now. Best done using a dedicated pc and a zwave controller. An old desktop mini would be perfect for the job, but NUCs and those N series mini PCs are also popular. Or RasPi 4 or 5 could get you started.

Setup is a bit techie, but the app is mature and documentation is pretty good these days.

Amen to Home Assistant! There's no reason to use the RPi for it any more. Buy a small form factor microPC and it will be a lot more robust (lots of articles about RPi flash failures). Get a USB stick from Zooz (maybe on sale), and you'll have a great setup. I was so hesitant to migrate away from Vera, but finally pulled the trigger (wasn't painless), but not looking back!

Mini PC connected to your network and then you can access home assistant from any device at its IP address.

SmartThings is the entry and HomeAssistant is the end game for smart home. What can't it do.

Quote from Nausicaa :
I would get the 99 cent temp sensors. I got some ESP32C3 with a radar sensor and a temp+humidity sensor. It can also do bluetooth sensing with triangulation, its worth it.
Can you elaborate on this bit? What are these sensors?

Also, has anyone had good luck with the zooz leak sensors? My HA cannot ever detect the battery life and half the time it fails to trigger.

For those switching from Smart things to HA, please be mindful that HA is not plug and play. Ex - if you get a leak sensor hooked up to smart things then it'll send you a notification when a leak is detected by default. You have to set this up in HA. It's not out of the box.

Quote from funkdoobiest :
Can someone give a quick rundown if ZBox is any good. I set up my Vera years ago and it just started acting wonky and I need a new hub relatively quickly. This just happened to pop up at the right time. I only have Z-wave devices so this will work for me.
best thing i did was move from vera to home assistant.
