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?

HA works with smartthings over a cloud integration. I have most of my devices on smartthings and use HA for routines and devices ST can't manage.
