[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 534262, member: 35153"] I dont use Hubitat but I have made a start with Home Assistant. Youree right in some respects that some programming is needed, not really programming in the true sense of the word more configuring. There are shed loads of video's on Youtube covering most things that you may want to do, being open source also makes it easier to integrate new devices. It was a very pleasant surprise when I started mine up that it found the Growatt Inverter, Growatt Battery, Philips Hue, Bose smart speaker and 2 x LG Televisions. I have added WiFi connected current transducer on my battery, CT on my inverter and a CT on my incoming grid connection, each one was a little taxing but nothing a cup of tea and a cruise round Youtube couldn't sort. The more I do with it the easier it gets and the flexibility is superb. I have coded a WiFi connected infra red transmitter and taught the Home Assistant the codes from my Mitsubuishi Aircon, Home Assistant can now start / stop the aircon units in heat or cool mode to a temperature it can set. The WiFi transmitters are mounted in PSU cases and plug directly into 13amp sockets. My aim with this is for Home Assistant to know the temperature outside, the weather forecast, the cost of gas and the cost of electricity from the grid along with battery storage state, it can then decide whether to run heatpumps or gas boiler. Why not try HA? it's free, will run on an old PC/Laptop or Raspberry PI, WiFi boards are available from Amazon / ebay that will interface to A to D etc. I've just had a look at the Hubitat compatibility list, loads of stuff missing that I would want to control and no way to add them.
