Meh, they really need to drop this to like 120-130 before I'll bite on an upgrade.

Seriously. The old ones use to be $99 even. I can't justify upgrading at this inflated price.

One reason Hubitat beats Home Assistant:
You don't need a subscription to work with Alexa.

This kills me with HA!

Hubitat has a slightly less learning curve, but also supports less.

HA can work with Alexa subscription-free. It does require following a more complex guide to set up the AWS lambda function, and the Alexa dev skill, but once it's set up you can forget about it forever. The guide can be found here: https://www.home-assistant.io/int...mart_home/

This was initially why I got hubitat. It works well tied to Home Assistant too. There's even ways to get HA entities into hubitat to expose it to Alexa/Google.

Eventually I just got the subscription, but those 3-4 years the hubitat paid for itself!

I am on Smartthings. Is it worth migrating? Have over 150 smart devices.

In my experience this was clunky -- the dev skill (iirc) needed re-enabling/re-publishing every three months because the test cert expired, and sometimes it would lose the device mappings when things were reset. So definitely not set-and-forget; not a massive pain, but not something I'd rec for less-technical users. But this was a while ago, maybe things have changed.

I'm a huge fan/advocate for Home Assistant, myself, but I'm glad multiple ecosystems exist for different levels/user experiences. I've heard decent things about Hubitat, but haven't looked deeply into them.

Have an old hubitat and use it only for the one z-wave device I have. Everything else is in HA. I don't see why the price of this isn't $50, then I may decide to upgrade and use it as the front to HA.

Hubitat is not as benefitial as it used to be. If you are going with a paid home automation controller go with Homey or buy an older version of Hubitat.

I've used Hubitat in the past. It's good to get started with home automation and for simple things. But once you require complex automations or see what you can do with Home Assistant you'll quickly want to replace it.

I have built integrations for Hubitat in the past, developing something for that platform along with how I lost my Z-Wave network twice without being able to restore it made me never want to touch it again.

Also it's not pay once cry once. If you want useful features like backing up ALL your data you need to sign up for their subscription.

I looked at these but ended up trying out the Homey self hosted option on my NUC and then just committed to the 2026 Homey Pro hardware, since i would have to pay the lifetime subscription cost and buy a Homey bridge for self hosting. The Bridge does not support thread and has an older Z-Wave chip. I really like the system coming from an older smart things hub that i hated dealing with. The automation flow creation is fantastic and the interface is really nice looking. It has pros and cons, but i stayed away from Home Assistant as i just want to be hands off and don't mind spending more to save me some headache tinkering. I was going to just get a new Aqara smart things hub, but the lack of Zwave steered me away.

I'm not aware of any of the vendors that can do an automated migration, I had about 80 devices when my smartthings started flaking out, and sure enough it died just as I was getting the last few things migrated to home assistant. To answer your question, yes you should migrate to something else. I like home assistant because it's non proprietary, but it also requires some googling, burping and feeding.

I switched from SmartThings v2 a few months back, it was a good opportunity to update all my routines, names... It was disappointing to find out Lutron control doesn't work without the Pro version of their hub, something ST can do. Matter devices require a Matter Thread border router, which you may already have (I didn't). It is massively easier to manage than ST, web UI from a PC is much more my jam over doing everything from an app. Routines are smarter and easier to manage, I was glad to dump another Samsung device.

That is not true, I back mine up for free all the time. Also, Hubitat can build as complex of a rule as you could ever want. I am not sure why you even posted considering everything you said is untrue.

Actually zwave backups are not free on hubitat. You have to have the subscription and back up to their cloud in order to get your zwave keys backed up. HA backs up everything locally for free.
