Background¶

My home automation journey has been quite long. I started off with a z-wave stick that used with a software package that I can't remember.

SmartThings¶

I then moved over to SmartThings when it was first created as a Kickstarter project. That opened my world into home automation and my investment into devices.

Creating custom devices was a bit difficult due to the programming language.

After SmartThings was bought by Samsung, I didn't do much with home automation.

Home Assistant¶

I started using Home Assistant for all of it's third party integrations. I kept my z-wave and zigbee devices on SmartThings and integrated SmartThings and Home Assistant together.

I've since moved over to Home Assistant completely, which has been great and pretty seamless.
