Hi @Eric_Inovelli,
Yes, that’s correct. My z-wave switches/locks are connected to ST’s Hub, and then HA is automating everything.
When I create a notification, it shows up as a child device in Smartthings, and I’m unable to automate or control this via HA, so yes, that’s correct.
One approach I’m working on testing is some sort of virtual switch in SmartThings to trigger the notification. The theory is the virtual switch should be exposed to HA, where the child device wouldn’t.
I’ll keep you updated on how that works, as a possible workaround for anyone else doing something similar.
Thanks for taking a look!
