Pairing Fibaro HomeKit Motion Detector with SmartThings?

As has already been stated the HomeKit versions of the Fibaro products only work (officially) with HomeKit. Similarly the non-HomeKit Fibaro products do not work (officially) with HomeKit at all.

What is currently possible is to set up a HomeAssistant server as a HomeKit controller and have HomeAssistant control the Fibaro HomeKit product. HomeAssistant can then also run an MQTT broker to ‘share’ the device and you can also run a MQTT client on Smartthings to talk to the HomeAssistant system.

The result is that Smartthings would then be able to utilise the HomeKit only products.

Smarter SmartThings with MQTT and Home Assistant

[OBSOLETE] MQTT Bridge [device + app]

Hey everyone, A fellow-SmartThing owner and I built a system to bridge MQTT and SmartThings! It allows two-way communication of SmartThings device attributes with other MQTT interfaces. For example, if I have a Z-Wave Dimmer Lam in SmartThings called “Fireplace Lights” it would transmit and subscribe on the following topics: # Brightness (0-99) /SmartThings/Fireplace Lights/level # Switch State (on|off) /SmartThings/Fireplace Lights/switch The architecture is pretty simple, it works via a SmartApp, DeviceHandler, and a Web Service (running via Docker). Our main goal was to be able to use Home Assistant with our existing SmartThings ecosystem. And we easily got it to work! Check it out and give us feedback.
