Question

Hi - what is the most popular and reliable home automation bridge for connecting Amazon Echo and Google Home (at the same time) to Fibaro & Vera - in a residential setup...

It should be easy and designed well for customer to integrate into their setup in a good way.

    Automation Bridge from Skaro does not yet support the HC3. I contacted Skaro a few days ago. The HC3 have not been released in Australia yet, where Skaro resides and the development is done. I think it will be released there around summer.

    Well, thank you for information about Skaro product but what i really wanted to know is if i can use Siri to control HC3 without any third party products.

     

    Where i bought my HC3 the description says:

    Other features:
    Support for AndroidAuto / Apple CarPlay
    Support for Siri, Google and Alexa.

     

     

    So i feel a bit disappointed having to not only buy but also wait for third party product to support HC3.

     

    Can anyone please confirm this?

    The best bridge in my opinion would be the node-red bridge cos you can use it for Alexa, google home as well as siri. Gives you complete control about the device names, scenes etc etc. Once you get through the initial learning curve (quite simple actually) in Node-Red, you ll find that you can use it for additional stuff like firetv integration, dedicated dashboard creation, integrating it with multitude of other services.

    Hi,

    Can anyone share list of possible "home automation" products to work with Fibaro HC3?

    I know there is:

    - HA Bridge

    - node-red

    - Automation bridge

    - Skaro

     

    Maybe pros and cons? Which above is most flexible, has more features?

    For me important is to connect Fibaro HC3 with Alexa and Sonos.
