As a bit of background, I am getting my HomeSeer system back up and running after using Home Assistant for the last 9 months or so. I am primarily coming back the HS3 due to its (in my opinion) superior Z-wave device support.
Anyway, one thing I do like about HA is the Lovelace interface, so my desire is to use the Home Assistant apps/web front as my UI and have HomeSeer as background.
My first attempt was to use the MQTT interface, but I struggled considerably getting that up and running (its likely totally my failure to properly setup MQTT on either end...), and I came across this on Github:
https://github.com/marthoc/homeseer
Basically, it uses the HS3 ASCII interface and creates devices/entities on Home Assistant for the devices in HS3. I've had it running for a day or so without any major issues, so for the time being I'm going to rely on this.
I will say it does require some familiarity with Home Assistant due to needing to setup a custom component, but its the first thing that seemed to work once I set it up.
Anyway, wanted to pass along
