| HomeKit Controller | Works Local | Controlled via HomeKit locally; app broke in AWS outage, HA unaffectedSaved copyMy smart thermostats allegedly "need" the cloud to operate because their app connects to the cloud to manage them. However, they do also support HomeKit(which is how I have them hooked up to HA). Which meant that when us-east-1 went down last year....the Sensi app stopped working (because I guess their servers live on us-east-1)...but I didn't notice because I use HA for everything.

| HomeKit Controller | Works Local | Works great; local via HomeKit or cloud via HACS SensiSaved copySensi works great! Has the option for both local or cloud. Local works with HomeKit so you will need the home kit integration. You shouldn’t need an apple device to set that up. For cloud, you can either link it through HACS Sensi integration or from SmartThings integration. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2023-04 |
Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
