Smart things has the absolute cleanest UI for mobile. However the integrations are extremely Lacking. How is there not an integration that will expose home assistant entities to smart things. I would love to use esphome energy monitoring, and all my local devices with a voice command and or the native Ui. Really utilize smart things to its full potential. It’s super lame how smart things doesnt play nice with other companies. Why can’t reolink cameras be displayed on my family hub?
Set up home assistant as a matter controller

Well I kind of have that. Just discovered the matter hub add on by riddix and it’s great but with limitations. If you have used the apple homekit bridge that is kind of what I’m looking for. Mainly just want smart things as the dashboard and that’s it ill run my automations in HA
There is also an app (add on) in Home Assistant call Matterbridge it works better for some devices.
I use both Matter Hub and Matterbridge
I would also like to be able to control some devices from Home Assistant within SmartThings. So, I need to set up Home Assistant as a matter controller, then connect it to SmartThings, and then I’ll have access to all the devices?
I tried matterbridge and it was horrible. So buggy and I hate that you can’t just expose the entity you have to expose the device
