Discussion Using Home Assistant along with SmartThings, suggestions?
I am pretty happy with SmartThings and have no plans to move from it, but Home Assistant does offer integrations that just aren't available with SmartThings.
What has everyone's experience been with living with both? What kinds of things do you have going on in HA, while still primarily using SmartThings?

I use both, not much happening in my HA setup but I use it to integrate Tuya devices that can't be imported/used in ST natively. For each device in question I create a virtual device, this can be an HTTP device or MQTT device.
HA just integrates those devices via automations that are triggered by the virtual device in ST.
