Smartthings?

Many people here using SmartThings? How about with Philips Hue?

Now I don't currently have a proper HA infrastructure (after moving I
don't=
now have Cbus, Comfort, homevision etc), I'm experimenting with wireless a=
nd newer more mainstream devices. I do have a Fibaro HC2 and an increasing
=
number of Philips Hue lamps. They're good but struggling to get anywhere
ne=
ar the configurability, feedback and control of my old system with Cbus. I
=
know they're very different beasts of course.

Just wondering if SmartThings is a good system to link some of this
togethe=
r?

For example, I have a Hue scene in the living room that turns on a couple
o=
f table lamps and Iris colour lamps. I thought it would be good to
integrat=
e the Christmas tree lights into a new scene but Hue doesn't offer a plug
r=
elay/dimmer. I'm tending to control this all through Apple Homekit and
Siri=
- which is quite good actually. But not sure if both Smartthings and Hue w=
ork well together? Thoughts?

Thanks,

Paul.
