Short answer… you cant do that
Long answer:

Is a smartthings hub really needed?

Hello everyone, I ordered a smartthings hub (v3) few days back which is still in transit. Meanwhile I started setting up everything (smartthings app, smartapps, github integration, webcore, automation, ST community installer, etc.). I have never owned a smartthings hub before. I was able to add some unsupported devices using IFTTT. I also setup some basic automation (mainly based on time) and they are working fine. I don’t have any zigbee or zwave sensors as of now. I started to think, do we really need a hub if so much can be achieved without a hub? What is the benefit of having a hub? Also, I am curious to know where do smartapps get installed - server or hub? Also, do I need to transfer everything that I created to the hub when I receive it? If yes, then will it break the existing in…
