homebridge-platform-insteonlocal VS homebridge-smartthings

FYI, you can run my homebridge plugin directly on the Hub Pro itself and get much better reliability/features than the actual Hub Pro. See here: https://github.com/kuestess/homebridge-platform-insteonlocal

u/contrarianbynature The Hub Pro is actually a PLM connected to a beaglebone black inside the box, and you can run homebridge and my homebridge plugin to get all of the functionality (and more) back. See here: https://github.com/kuestess/homebridge-platform-insteonlocal

I fixed it by downgrading my InsteonLocal plugin to 0.4.24 (April 18, 2022). This removed the dnsmasq error. I stumbled across this solution in a gitub repository forum here: https://github.com/kuestess/homebridge-platform-insteonlocal/issues/218

In addition to having a PLM, theres a BeagleBoard Single Board Computer in there. For more sophisticated control than the OEM Insteon software, some people have gotten Homebridge running on it. https://github.com/kuestess/homebridge-platform-insteonlocal

I'm fairly new to HomeKit, but have a fair amount of home automation hardware (ecobee thermostat, Insteon door, motion, and water sensors, Insteon light switches, Logitech Harmony Hubs, etc.). Have been migrating everything over from Indigo over the past few weeks, including upgrading to an eero wifi network (excellent!) and using Homebridge to bring in the Insteon hardware (with the Homebridge Platform InsteonLocal plugin). Bringing the hardware in and controlling it with basic steps was pretty straightforward.

Add it using the IDE. On the "My SmartApps" tab, click the blue +New SmartApp Button. Then select From Code. Grab the code from https://github.com/tonesto7/homebridge-smartthings.git. Or follow the instructions here: https://github.com/tonesto7/homebridge-smartthings/tree/2.0-alpha. When you get the smart app loaded into the IDE and get to step 2, instead of the classic instructions, just go to Automations and scroll to the bottom where you should see the smarthings v2 smartapp.

I am attempting to get SmartThings devices enabled in HomeBridge, using https://github.com/tonesto7/homebridge-smartthings. However, step 2, the SmartThings Classic Mobile App is required.

Why is that? There seems to be a robust Homebridge plugin for SmartThings: https://github.com/tonesto7/homebridge-smartthings

I've tried all of the plugins and even reached out to the HOOBS customer support via email. A rep by the name of Ovi has been no help whatsoever. First, Ovi suggested I buy a SmartThings Hub. So I did. When that didn't work, Ovi suggested I open an issue with the plugin developer here: https://github.com/tonesto7/homebridge-smartthings/issues. I did and it's been 23 days with no response from the developer. The HOOBS support is horrible. They take days to reply and when they do, its no help.

I've acquired the original homebridge-smartthings repo and npm package from @pdlove and i've updated the code to the latest v2.x Please use the new version here: https://github.com/tonesto7/homebridge-smartthings ```
