(at bottom on page: installing SmartApp on SmartThings IDE account, configuration, and Homebridge Plugin Installation on HOOBS. (installing HOOBS on Raspberry Pi, really easy) Here are some links I used to get everything up and running: Everything that shows up on my SmartThings hub shows up on my iPhone in the Home app, for example the alarm system: (I would like to figure out a way to reset/disarm the DSC alarm system via a Konnected.io output but I haven figured out a way to do that in the DSC documentation yet.) This allows me to arm/disarm the system by my iPhone (either via HomeKit or SmartThings app), by Siri, by iPhone geo fencing, etc.

To silence the siren from my iPhone I use a second output for a siren silence switch which disconnects the siren. That is wired to the siren output relay on the konnected.io interface. I had an extra zone on it so I configured it to be "24-hr Burglary" (Zone option 11) which will sound the siren on the alarm system even if the DCS alarm system is not "armed". I used the Konnected.io interfaces for wired security ( ) attached to my existing DCS alarm system. I am using HOOBS (simply-to-use homebridge) running on a raspberry pi 3 for homekit support to my SmartThings hub.

I know there aren't many posts here, but we are the tip of an iceberg that you need to understand. I really want to buy your product and shout about it's merits, but I just can't bring myself to add (yet another) poorly supported agenda-driven hub to my automated home. You've narrowed your market so severely (by mandating hub dependence) that you are exposing your wonderful idea to needless competition. Systems like Ring and iDevices are actually behaving more true to "open systems". Please consider going stand alone, whether you want to enable HomeKit or not. HomeKit certainly has its (major) flaws, but if you would at least make your App stand alone, you wouldn't alienate those of us who have learned the hard way not to get sucked into Smart Things, Wink and all the other proprietary systems that will never really integrate things. For those of us who have (for better or worse) decided that Google is as evil as they swore never to become (evidence the destruction of Nest as a useful tool) and who have had it with Hubs that are never properly supported (i.e., Smart Things), it is a real heartbreaker to see such an innovative product just out of reach to those of us who have decided not to rely on hubs.

How to say this in such a way as to not sound like a nutcase.
