Hey everyone, I have been a smartthings user from day 1 of my home automation journey (lightswitches, locks, open/close sensors, motion sensors, etc.).

Just until this last month, I was using Android phones, Google home, etc. to control everything, and it was great.

I recently switched to an iPhone (and my wife as well), and I’m getting pretty frustrated with not being able to just say ‘hey siri, turn on x lights’. Instead I have to say “hey siri, ok google, _wait 5 seconds for it to open google assistant_, turn on x lights”.

I have tried researching if there is a way to integrate ST devices with Homekit, but I’m struggling with finding recent information and guides. It looks like homebridge is pretty much the only option in town, but most of the information I can find is from 2015-2017.

Long story short, are there any recent detailed guides on getting homebridge setup? (ie. installation guide + how to add some basic devices). I have a few spare Raspberry Pi’s around, so hopefully those will work for what I need. 🙂

Thanks in advance!

You are correct, the primary method is HomeBridge. Or buying devices like the Phillips hue bridge that will work with both HomeKit and smartthings. The information hasn’t changed much.

The only thing that’s really new is now you should be able to use Siri shortcuts as well for some use cases so you can use Siri with SmartThings controlled devices if all you want is Siri voice control. But the shortcut method doesn’t give you any of the other HomeKit features.

There’s an active thread if you want to go to the homebridge route. People there should be able to answer any questions about that process:

I’ve just submitted [a pull request](https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/pull/10) to that project that adds support for creating HomeKit accessories for each of your Hello, Home actions, and by extension, enabled a means to trigger them via Siri.

There’s a list in the community wiki on devices that work with both smartthings and HomeKit. There aren’t many, but there are some, and if you select carefully you can cover many tasks.

And here’s the thread on Shortcuts. Setup is clunky and you don’t get to use any of the other HomeKit features, but if all you want is Siri voice control of your smartthings devices, take a look at it:

Thank you, JD! You are a legend. I can only hope ST pays you for all the great work you do around here.

I’ll start diving in on homebridge asap 🙂

Question - perhaps you know @JDRoberts

Is there anything for integrating Homekit the other way around - eg having my Homekit devices appear in SmartThings to be controlled.

I’ve got it the other way around (SmartThings controlled by Homekit for Siri etc) but i’ve got some Homekit devices that I can’t easily add to SmartThings (Neeo remote for instance) so if I could add them to SmartThings somehow that would be perfect, but i’m assuming there’s nothing.

Short answer: not that I know.

Long answer: it works kind of…You can create virtual devices in SmartThings and add than to Homebridge. Then you can create HomeKit automations that trigger the virtual device. E.g. I have a HomeKit connected TV and set up a rhomekit automation to turn on a virtual switch when the TB is on. Now, I can trigger Smartthings actions whenever I watch TV.

Thanks - i’ve got a Neeo Brain and it’s got a fully open SDK, I can probably run it with simple scripts which I could trigger from SmartThings for most stuff if I look close enough. I can find any NEEO integration on here though unfortunately.

However before they got bought out they added Homekit integration and i was able to just add it to the Home app with no problem, so I was hoping i’d somehow be able to just turn things on and off in home.

But I think I get your idea - I’d need to create a virtual switch in SmartThings and add it to Homekit via Homebridge and then in Homekit I could program an automation where when that virtual switch is change it can turn things on/off.

A while back we had the theoretical discussion that you could transmit 100 states if you use the % of a single virtual dimmer switch… but I don’t know if anyone ever tried it.

FYI @tonesto7 ‘s Homebridge SmartThings plug-in includes linking Smarthome Monitor and creates creating virtual switches for automations and scenes. Depending on your use case you may not even create your own virtual switch.

I use mine with almost 150 devices and have zero issues.

I use siri 2 dozen times a day to control devices.

She can turn off 60+ devices at a time and not hit any limits

I started building a new plugin using the new SDK + API and lets just say that with the new guard rails it’s not going to work.

Tonesto7,  
Are you saying that the smartthings-homebridge plugin won’t be updated for the new homekit api? Has Areson discussed this with you? Please see this:

Thanks,

The code is now much cleaner, easier to update/maintain, and easier for others to follow. This translates into a faster/leaner and way more stable plugin than previous versions. The plugin now uses the Homebridge Dynamic platform API, meaning it no longer requires a restart of the Homebridge service for device changes to occur. The plugin now utilizes the device cache on service restart to prevent losing all of your devices when the plugin fails to start for an extended period of time.

Can you add homekit devices into smartthings with this new version? I’ve been trying to find a way to fix my Nest integration without luck.

Unfortunately, no you can’t. HomeKit accessories don’t have access to other accessories.

Maybe you can create a virtual thermostat in ST and use it in Homekit. Then create automations under homekit to to tie it into the nest tstat and allow you to make changes both directions?

I can’t seem to find my devices in the Home app!

Homebridge is installed on a Raspberry Pi, as well as the web GUI and the homebridge-smartthings-v2 plugin. The Homebridge app is installed in the Smartthings app on my iPhone and I selected two devices in Homebridge and saved.

How do I then see these two devices in the Home app so I can add them there? Do I need to add something else to the config.json file?

Here is the daemon.log file:

Update:  
Seems I had an incorrect token to talk between Home and Homebridge. I also had to clear the Homebridge cache by deleting everything in the _persist_ and _accessories_ directories. All devices are now in the _Accessories_ tab of the Homebridge web GUI. But, now I see **some** of my devices in Home but not all of them, my Kwikset door locks do not show up. And, my two light switches are not active even though they show up in the Home. Is there some trick I am missing?

Has anyone had any success using Smartthings home monitoring with homekit through homebridge? I am able to arm the system through Homekit. but disarm will not register in smartthings. I am using the new smartthings app.

Yeah,

I need to add a note that the New SHM doesn’t work with the classic API

Does this mean when ST migration to the new API is complete and they retire the groovy aspect this smartapp won’t work?

No point in me making the effort to get it working now if that’s the case… 😭

I know it’s clunky, but as a workaround can’t you use a virtual switch to trigger a scene that sets security.mode ?

Also, the new one has been renamed to STHM to distinguish it from SHM. 🕶

> Just to make sure everybody’s talking about the same thing…This FAQ is for people using both the V2 classic app and the 2018 V3 app, or who have previously used the classic app and have now migrated to the new V3 app. The security feature in the classic app is SHM, Smart Home Monitor. The security feature in the new V3 app is STHM, SmartThings Home Monitor. These are two completely separate pieces of code. Security mode set or changed (or an alert dismissed) in an automation created in the classic app will only affect SHM. . Security mode set or changed (or an alert dismissed) in an automation created in the new V3 app will only affect STHM. So if you have rules you created in the classic app, you will never see those change the security state in the new V3 app. You have to recreate…
