With the unpredictability of the Smartthings future, I’m putting all my lighting eggs in the Hue basket. My kitchen is being expanded, and my main floor bathroom rebuilt. So I have a handful of Cree bulbs and they serve me well, but I’m going all Hue under and over counter and in my hihats for the new build.
I am, however, installing some smart dimmers and outlets - and hoping Smartthings continues to service them going forward.
Much though I’ve grown to love SmartThings, I too am nervous about future direction and support so I also have all lighting on Hue, except a battery powered Arlo light which usefully links to Arlo cameras on our driveway.
Hue also seem to be expanding their hardware and software at a reasonable pace, and being able to now link Nest alarms directly to Hue is a plus, removing dependence on SmartThings for a key safety automation.
