    :heavy_plus_sign: Docker add-ons for Home Assistant (by home-assistant)

  • One thing that is throwing me off is controlling my z-wave devices. Prior to HA I have been using SmartThings which was working fine (minus the app switching). I integrated SmartThings into HA and the transition was seamless but I noticed that a lot of the HA integrations require Z-Wave JS.

  • That said, I started going down this rabbit hole because I am trying to set up Keymaster in order to control my z-wave smart locks. More specifically, I am trying to use the features that allow me to set up multiple combination codes based on the time of day and day of the week. SmartThings doesn't give me some of those more advanced features that Keymaster does.
