I got into ST about a year or so before samsung acquired them. Amazing ecosystem at the time and the ST community was great. I even taught my self groovy, so I could write my own device handlers. Then it went down hill couple of years after the acquisition. I still have my gen 2 ST hub and have been slowly trying to pivot towards HA. How easy is it to integrate ST into HA? I have a bunch older zwave wall switches and few other sensors that are tied into ST. But I really hate the ST app.

I was in the same boat at you and I found it super easy to use ST as the hub and HA as the brains until I decided to get Z-Wave/Zigbee dongles for my HA.

That said, I went to find the instructions to do it and it appears that Samsung broke the integration about a year ago and there still isn’t a solution. I’m sorry, it seems like I migrated fully just a few months before it stopped working and that explains the 1 device I still had on ST stopping working about a year ago (it wasn’t important and I never tracked it down).
