I have been running Home Assistant for a while now, slowly transitioning from SmartThings. In subsequent posts, I will describe more of my experience with Home Assistant, but today I received a Home Assistant SkyConnect, that I am excited about setting up over this holiday break.
The Home Assistant SkyConnect is a USB Zigbee adapter that directly connects Zigbee devices to Home Assistant. (I am currently using a SmartThings hub to connect my Zigbee devices, and using the SmartThings integration in Home Assistant)
One thing that I am very interested in for the SkyConnect, is that it is updatable through Home Assistant, and they are planning an upgrade to add Thread support. With this upgrade, it should support Matter devices.
With Matter's multi-admin support, and when SmartThings adds Matter support, I hope that this will make it easier to finish the migration to Home Assistant.
