Upcoming SmartThings API Usage Limits for SharpTools Rules

But is it correct that every service integration with ST will always be subject to this new “enhancement?” It sure sounds that way from the ST announcment. And the announcement here notes that SharpTools integrations with other platforms (Hubitat, HA, etc.) are unaffected. It seems like the hard reality is that migrating away from ST to some other platform (that has some insulation from a similar fate) is the only definitive solution to the problem.

As far as I’m aware, every third-party integration will be impacted by SmartThings making their APIs paid. The Home Assistant team was pretty direct that their users would be impacted and would have to use the SmartThings paid personal plans to keep SmartThings integrated with HASS.

And yes, the SmartThings API allowance being enforced by SharpTools only applies to SmartThings. Other integrations like Home Assistant, Hubitat, Homey, or even our new first-party SharpTools Bridge that has LAN integrations with Philips Hue, TPLink Kasa, Lutron, Matter and more don’t have limits.
