Hi all,
I’m using homebridge with homebridge-smartthings plugin to connect my Smartthings devices to Siri.
But recently I’m adding more devices that are not on my Smartthings HUB,
like some applescripts to run on my Mac, and basic iTunes control using homebridge-applescript-file and homebridge-applescript-file-lightbulb .
They run perfectly from Siri, but now I want to add them to smartthings as well, so I can do some automation using CoRE.
Do any of you know of a way to add homebridge devices to -> smartthings
(*not the other way around)
Thanks
Gil

About once per week I had problems with the “Home” mode not set and Smart Home Monitor not disarming on time when I reached my house. I use my iPhone as a presence sensor. Opening the garage door would usually cause an alarm. I tried increasing the radius for the presence but more than 1/2 mile does not seam reasonable to me.
Solution: I have created a virtual switch (momentary contact) that sets “Home” mode and turns off the Smart Home Monitor and send me a notification. I also created a Automation in the Apple Home App to turn on the virtual switch when I arrive (with a much narrower radius!).
I have tested this for ~2 weeks now and had no false alarm anymore. I have received the notification a couple of times from that the virtual…
