hacs-hubitat VS XiaomiGateway3

This is my entry from my C5 to home assistant. It allowed me to keep everything in Hubitat and sop my toe into home assistant. https://github.com/jason0x43/hacs-hubitat

Use hubitat as your zwave/zigbee hub. Then add the hubitat add on (https://github.com/jason0x43/hacs-hubitat) and do automation through home assistant. (well I use node red).

Is it this one?

It's in HACS. But you can also manually install. https://github.com/jason0x43/hacs-hubitat

Then I use https://github.com/jason0x43/hacs-hubitat with Home Assistant so that all of my Hubitat devices show up in HA. HA is way better at pretty much everything else. The Google Assistant integration is more feature rich, there are a ton of wifi/internet integrations, the automation tooling both built in and via things like Node-Red are way better and most importantly the mobile app is years ahead of Hubitat

Following the recommendation from u/flaquito and u/CorgiFinancial, and since I did not want to spend any additional time or money on getting new hardware, I ended up with the following. - Booted up my old laptop, which hasn't been used for 2 years, and set up the docker version of HASS. It was indeed very straightforward. In hindsight, I might redo the process and install either a VM or the supervised version, just so I can have the addons (seems like a cool thing to have). - Adding all WiFi-related things was super easy! TV, PS4, Chromecast, etc. For Yeelight, I had to enable "LAN Control" to all my lamps. - The Xiaomi Smart Home Hub is not offered by default on HASS. I found a custom integration on hacs.xyz (adding HACS integration was also straightforward). The custom Smart Home Hub can be found [here](https://github.com/AlexxIT/XiaomiGateway3). - Enabling the telnet mode was non-trivial for me, as I did not want to change the Mi server to China (seems it loses all current setup?). Note that most online guides tell you to swap over to China to get the "About" menu option so you can enable the telnet. Instead, I found [this](https://gist.github.com/zvldz/1bd6b21539f84339c218f9427e022709), which worked like a charm with the custom integration: first add the gateway using the Mi credentials (it reads the mappings and tokens from the Mi Cloud), then add the gateway *again* by selecting the direct IP + the above definition. You can then delete the cloud-based gateway.
