I recently switched from Fibaro HCL to SmartThings v2 UK. I have loads of
hue bulbs and everything works as expected. I use a combination of controls
including SmartThings motion sensors, Fibaro motion sensors, Flic buttons
(love these but not integrated into SmartThings yet). SmartThings uses the
cloud but I don't notice any latency and I have a pretty low end internet
connection curtesy of living in the country. As people walk into the hall
or room then the hue bulbs come on and the xmas tree lights with no
noticeable delay. I do have local switches in case of internet issues but
luckily not needed them yet.
Is ST perfect? no, but I am much happier than I was with Fibaro. I will
probably end up using both as I need multiple hue bridges and ST doesn't
handle more than one hue bridge.
