Personal on the surface.

Rollease Acmeda motorised shades and blinds connected to an Automate Pulse hub.

Pulse v1 uses the core Acmeda integration; Pulse v2 uses the Automate Pulse v2 HACS integration. Both communicate locally, without cloud token renewal. Reserve a stable hub address and check firmware, radio coverage and motor features.

Supported ThinQ washers, dryers, dishwashers, fridges, ovens and other connected appliances.

Uses LG’s official ThinQ Connect API with a personal access token configured at setup. We check token validity, account region and the exact model. Available controls vary; remote start must be enabled where required.

Supported SmartThings-connected washers, dryers, fridges, dishwashers and cooking appliances.

Use the current account-linking integration with automatic token renewal, rather than manually replacing short-lived tokens. Samsung has announced a paid API transition from October 2026; we confirm current plan requirements. Features vary by model.

Selected Home Connect-enabled dishwashers, laundry appliances, ovens, fridges and coffee machines.

Official Home Connect account authorisation uses automatic token renewal. A developer application is configured during setup. Available controls and remote-start requirements depend on the appliance.

Selected Home Connect-enabled kitchen and laundry appliances.

Uses the same official Home Connect integration and automatic token renewal. We confirm model support, available programmes and whether remote operation must first be enabled on the appliance.

Supported Miele@home-connected washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, fridges and other appliances.

Official account authorisation uses automatic token renewal. Features exposed to Home Assistant can differ from the Miele app; many appliances require Mobile start or remote control to be enabled.

Bridge-connected lights, switches and sensors.

Pair the Hue Bridge locally. Prefer the native Hue integration for richer features than Matter.

Selected Matter devices and supported HomeKit accessories.

Choose the exact model and exposed features. Matter over Thread needs a suitable Thread border router; selected Zigbee products are another route.

Compatible lighting, plugs, blinds and sensors.

TRÅDFRI uses a local gateway key. DIRIGERA uses Matter or HomeKit Device; bridge routes expose different features.

Selected Zigbee sensors, switches and plugs.

Pair supported Zigbee models to a compatible coordinator. This shortlist does not make a claim about all eWeLink Wi-Fi devices.

Supported relays, dimmers, plugs and meters.

Home Assistant talks directly to supported devices. BLU accessories can require a different Bluetooth integration.

Supported plugs, lights, switches and selected cameras.

Check hardware and firmware against the supported list. Account credentials or local camera credentials may be needed; local control is not the same as account-free setup.

Compatible Wi-Fi lighting.

Uses the local network rather than the LIFX cloud for control. Model and network discovery checks still apply.

Panels, Canvas, Shapes, Elements and Lines.

The native integration covers panels. Essentials use a different Matter or HomeKit route depending on generation.

Selected Bots, Curtains, sensors and supported hub-bridged devices.

Bluetooth range or a proxy matters. Some encrypted devices need keys; a compatible Matter bridge exposes a subset of features.

Ducted-aircon units and zones controlled by AirTouch 5.

Connect to the controller locally. Respect the aircon system’s own zone and damper operating constraints.

Supported MyAir / MyPlace, e-zone and zone10e controllers.

The wall tablet stays part of the system and needs a stable network address. Available controls depend on the installation.

Compatible RF fans and shades via a Bond Bridge.

Uses a local access token. One-way RF equipment may report an assumed state rather than confirmed position.

Supported network speakers and grouped playback.

Local speaker control; streaming services can still need internet and their own subscriptions. UPnP must be enabled.

Supported network-connected televisions.

Approve local pairing on the TV. Wake-up support depends on the model, settings and network; this is not a whole-brand SmartThings claim.

Supported LG webOS televisions.

Pair with the television locally. Power-on can require Wake-on-LAN or another configured action.

Compatible network AV receivers.

Uses the receiver’s local network interface. Features and standby control vary by model.

Compatible MusicCast receivers, soundbars and speakers.

Local control on the home network. Online music services retain their own internet requirements.

Supported cameras, doorbells, NVRs and hubs.

Configure local device access. Some battery cameras need a compatible Reolink hub or NVR; not every camera connects directly.

Cameras, doorbells and supported sensors on a UniFi OS console.

Requires a supported Protect installation and local API access. Stable software releases are preferred over early-access versions.

Compatible inverter, meter and energy readings.

Enable the local Solar API where needed. Monitoring via Solar API is distinct from changing inverter settings.

Expose supported Home Assistant controls to Apple Home and Siri.

This sends supported controls into Apple Home; it does not import every Apple device. Remote access depends on the Apple home setup.

Selected SDM-supported thermostats, cameras and doorbells; Cast for supported speakers/displays.

Nest needs Google Device Access setup and a fee. Set OAuth to Production to avoid seven-day expiry. Tokens normally renew automatically; revocation can still require sign-in. Nest Protect is not covered by the SDM route.

Use Alexa voice commands with exposed Home Assistant devices.

Our preferred voice route uses Nabu Casa account linking. This is different from importing Echo devices or media controls; those separate integrations have their own login and service limitations.
