Since the smartthings “station“ hub now has its own discussion topic, I’ve moved a few posts over there.

Please continue detailed discussion of that device in the following topic— i’m sure people will have a lot to say. :wink:

Yeah, it doesn’t make it work with HomeKit. It makes it work in the Apple home app. There is a distinction: there will still be some features which are only available for HomeKit certified devices. But it definitely does open up more candidate devices, which is nice. :sunglasses:

That one’s interesting, and does have an advantage in that both the smart doorbell and the smart lock are hardwired rather than battery powered. it also has a battery backup for emergency power if the house’s power is out.

But that’s basically a convenience feature, and I don’t see how it justifies the $6500 price tag (uninstalled). :thinking:

So I think this is the right trajectory, but not yet the right product.
