Requesting Clarification on Compatibility with the New HA 2025.3 SmartThings Integration

As a user of the SmartThings platform, I am excited about the recent release of the new HA 2025.3 integration, which brings significant functionality improvements to SmartThings AC devices. However, I am also concerned about the potential impact on the custom integration I have been using. In this article, I will explore the compatibility of the new HA 2025.3 integration with the custom integration and request clarification on any potential issues or patches under development.

For those who may not be familiar, SmartThings is a popular home automation platform that allows users to control and monitor their smart devices from a single interface. The platform has a large community of developers who create custom integrations to extend its functionality. One such custom integration is the HA 2025.3 integration, which provides advanced features and improvements to SmartThings AC devices.

Reasons for Continuing to Use the Custom Integration

Despite the significant functionality improvements added by the new HA 2025.3 integration, I would still prefer to continue using the custom integration. There are several reasons for this:

Customization: The custom integration allows me to customize the behavior of my SmartThings AC devices to suit my specific needs. This level of customization is not possible with the built-in integration.
Advanced Features: The custom integration provides advanced features that are not available in the built-in integration. These features include improved energy monitoring, advanced scheduling, and enhanced security.
Stability: I have found the custom integration to be more stable and reliable than the built-in integration. This is likely due to the fact that the custom integration is maintained by a dedicated team of developers who are passionate about the platform.

Potential Issues with the New HA 2025.3 Integration

While the new HA 2025.3 integration brings many improvements to SmartThings AC devices, there are also potential issues that need to be addressed. Some of these issues include:

Compatibility: As mentioned earlier, I am concerned about the compatibility of the new HA 2025.3 integration with the custom integration. Will the custom integration continue to work seamlessly with the new integration, or will it require significant updates or patches?
Functionality: Will the new HA 2025.3 integration provide the same level of functionality as the custom integration? Will it offer the same advanced features and customization options?
Stability: Will the new HA 2025.3 integration be as stable and reliable as the custom integration? Will it introduce new bugs or issues that need to be addressed?

In light of these potential issues, I am requesting clarification from the developer of the custom integration and the SmartThings community. Specifically, I would like to know:

Has anyone found any issues with the new HA 2025.3 integration and the custom integration? Are there any known compatibility problems or functionality issues that need to be addressed?
Is a patch under development to address any potential issues? Will the custom integration require significant updates or patches to work seamlessly with the new HA 2025.3 integration?
Will the new HA 2025.3 integration offer the same level of functionality as the custom integration? Will it provide the same advanced features and customization options?

In conclusion, while the new HA 2025.3 integration brings significant functionality improvements to SmartThings AC devices, I am concerned about the potential impact on the custom integration I have been using. I am requesting clarification from the developer and the SmartThings community on any potential issues or patches under development. I hope that this article will help to raise awareness about the potential issues and encourage the developer and the community to provide more information and support.
