Is It Time To Dump Home Assistant? - Hubitat C8 Pro

This is a review for the new Hubitat C8 PRO Smart Home Hub, which has the potential for a mile and a half of Z-wave range, support for Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Homekit and IFTTT and has the longest range of any Zigbee device I've tried. It's time to put Home Assistant in a bin... or is it?

Probably the best smart home gadget I own, and the Hubitat C8 works with Alexa, works with Apple Homekit, works with Google Home and has Wifi, so no more tying it to your Ethernet!
