#Unlisted manufacturers?

Hi, everyone, I'm considering buying home assistant green as I'm forced to use 4 separate applications for my smart home devices which makes automation an unmanageable horror. Problem is, some of my devices' manufacturers (fe. LSC smart connect) aren't supported and listed in integrations. My question is - can I still connect it somehow (probably much more difficultly) or would I have to buy new devices from supported manufacturers only?

It's going to be a different answer on a device by device basis.

#

Some devices you can control with a custom integration (not official HA supported), some by flashing new firmware on the device, some with raw SSH commands, really just depends on whatever the manufacturer allows.

#

Sounds like some people are having modest successes with those devices, but it's probably not going to be the best experience.
