Full disclosure.
I am from [HundredGraphs.com](link url). We are the data aggregation service for smart homes. So far we have plugins for Vera and SmartThings and we are looking to move in onto new hubs.
What would you be interested in?

Years after having installed and implemented the homekit integration to the vera through the verahomekitbridge which later became the homebridge:
rafale77/VeraHomeKitBridge rafale77/VeraHomeKitBridgeContribute to rafale77/VeraHomeKitBridge development by creating an account on GitHub.
(I just implemented a few updates I discovered were outdated for the garage door which were meant for older vera firmwares)
I just recently came to the realization that I can do a lot more with Hey Siri with devices I already own. I have therefore a renewed interest and have been configuring my homekit installation to match my alexa capability. Unfortunately a lot of things are still pretty far behind in terms of integration but... I found homebridge and all its plugins. I just wanted to share the alternative I pursued: Home Assistant. I implemented the Homekit component for it and have been able to bridge Sonos and Harmony while my openLuup devices are still bridged into homekit through the VeraHomekitBridge. If you already have home assistant, homebridge is potentially redundant...
The probability of taking down alexa and its cloud dependency completely is increasing... -
For those who are familiar with node-red, I found interesting news from the Home Assistant site that the openzwave project has gone stale and that they have shifted their focus on integrating zwave-js! It spiked my interest in spite of currently not seeing any need since z-way has been rock solid in combination with openluup but it might be of interest for others that there is yet another open source z-wave platform, this time written in javascript and running on a nodejs server... yes the same platform @toggledbits has chosen for "super reactor". I am already running a number of smaller nodejs application in my setup so it isn't quite new and yes there is also mqtt and node red bindings coming with it.

Morning folks
Not sure if I'm imagining it, but I used to have a 'Save' button on the activities tab of Reactor? Right now if I add or edit any activity, I have to go to another tab, and confirm the 'Unsaved Changes' dialogue.
TIA

Was thinking of running a HomeKit bridge too, what Raspberry Pi are you running it on?
-
I am running it on the same device as openLuup... It is a VM on my QNAP NAS. This can be run on anything running linux. And as an update... I indeed took down my entire alexa/habridge setup and am fully reliant on homekit these days.

Going to give this a try, first time diving into the raspberry pi world!
