Hi, I currently have a VeraLite zwave controller integrated with Openhab2 as well as some other custom devices. I like have OH2 as my “central” brain. I have been having issues with my VeraLite (its pretty old).
I was considering buying Samsung SmartThings as a replacement for the Veralite. I’m curious/confused as to how much SmartThings is a replacement for Veralite vs. a replacement for OH2? I’m also interested in how to make interacting with my devices easier with Alexa.
My thought process was a new setup where:
SmartThings directly connected with my zwave devices and Envisalink for my alarm.
OH2 connected with SmartThings (and its devices) and any custom MQTT devices I have.
Alexa only looked at OH2 for its interface to devices.
Does this make any sense?
