Hello all,

What do I actually do when I finally have a running instance (of containerised HA on a Raspberry Pi)? Delete all the toys from Alexa and Smart Life and start again in Home Assistant?

Is deleting everything the intelligent way to go rather than trying to transition?

My Google-foo is failing I did try to find an answer in Lemmy/Reddit/HA. Apologies if I miss an obvious place.

Thank-you in advance.

    Smart Life is just another name for Tuya. I started with a bunch of Tuya devices and actually used Smart Life as my app.

    There are Home Assistant addons that support Tuya. I can’t remember because I’m much further down the path now, but it should be as simple as signing in to the addons with your Smart Life credentials. It may be a little harder in that you may have to pair them to another app first, but same principle.

    This is assuming of course that you’re talking WiFi devices. If you’re on ZigBee then it may be even easier, pairing your hub to Home Assistant.

    Either way, Home Assistant will show you a new way.

      [help me out please: add-ons are the Home Assistant thing that you can’t use with Home Assistant in a container? Extensions are the Home Assistant add-on that you can … ?]

      Almost everything is WiFi, I can’t remember the thing that isn’t.

      I’m really looking forward to Home Assistant; I have to learn to use containers first.

      Thank-you most kindly for your imputus. Very well received. 😁
