I'm looking into SmartHomeHarmony adn how it stacks up against other smart home ecosystems regarding cross-vendor compatibility. It seems like a lot of platforms claim to work with everything, but actually getting different brands of lights, sensors, and thermostats to play nicely together can be a real headache. Has anyone had actual success bridging the gap between, say, a Philips Hue bridge and a Nest thermostat through SmartHomeHarmony?
Specifically, I'm wondering about its ability to handle nuanced interactions. Such as, can I trigger an automated scene in my Aqara system through a routine initiated by a Ring doorbell event via SmartHomeHarmony? Or is it more limited to just basic on/off functionality across different devices? The marketing materials are often vague, focusing on broad compatibility rather than specific examples.What's been your experience with true cross-vendor interoperability compared to competitors like Apple HomeKit or Samsung SmartThings, especially when dealing with less popular or niche smart home brands?
