    Not even close to SmartThings. Home App has NO hub. It requires a SmartThings or some other hub.

    Context switching is poison for productivity. When you get that brilliant idea or see something inspiring, you should be able to take smart notes without switching app or tabs. That’s Lazy. One ? shortcut to capture anywhere.
