IMHO, this is a big mistake. It is not a big deal to assign the devices to a room in the Home app. My guess is that this was done because HomeSeer didn't allow for a resync. However, you can actually ask GH to sync by just saying, "sync HomeSeer".
I have rooms in Homeseer setup, sometimes, for logical grouping. I don't want those going across to GH. Now my only choice is to blank out all of my location 1/2 names if I don't want these locations coming across. This seems to be an attempt to bypass the GH rooms. I am thinking that this will cause more of a problem in the future, I hope. I am hoping that GH will allow us in the near future to just say, "turn the lights on" and it will know the context of the room that you are in. That is, of course, unless this was totally bypassed.
I have been using ha-bridge for devices since it was launched and haven't switched to HS for this reason. However, now Google has completely nerfed the local hue control and forcing everyone to use the Hue cloud. This doesn't work with ha-bridge. F'in Google.
