Control Lennox M30 HomeKit Thermostat with SmartThings?

I have a thermostat that works with homekit but not with smartthings. I am running homebridge and can see things from ST on homekit. Is there a way to do the opposite, so I can see my thermostat on smartthings and control it.

Thanks

What’s the brand and model of the thermostat?

Sorry, the short answer is NO.

The long answer is… theoretically yes. You could create a virtual thermostat and include it in Homebridge and then write rules in Homekit to match the temps up with the real one (not actually shure how this would work exactly - probably only feasible for a couple of setpoints). I have not tried it and I am not sure it will work reliably and without delay…

The are Lennox M30. At some point they were working with Smarttings I guess but the development stopped. I could not get them working with it.

Thanks. I will look in to this.

OK, with that model probably the easiest thing will be to include it in a HomeKit scene and then via Homebridge trigger the scene from a SmartThings event.

But as @pizzinini said, it’s just going to be specific predefined scenes. You can’t get full control of the thermostat from smartthings. So you could “set the thermostat to 72°,” but not “turn it Up by 3°“ and you won’t be able to have it automatically follow the virtual thermostat.
