I’ve been exploring ways to integrate my SmartThings setup with my Mac, and I stumbled upon a fantastic solution using HammerSpoon. For those who aren’t familiar, HammerSpoon is a powerful automation tool for macOS that allows you to create custom scripts and workflows. I came across a plugin called HS-EventGhostServer, which is designed to work seamlessly with SmartThings Routines. This integration has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me!
One of the most impressive features is the ability to trigger Mac actions through SmartThings Routines. For instance, I’ve set up a Routine that locks my Mac when I leave my house. It’s incredibly convenient and adds an extra layer of security. The plugin also supports voice commands via IFTTT, so I can say, “OK Google, lock my computer!” and it works like magic.
I wanted to share this discovery because it’s a game-changer for anyone looking to bridge the gap between their SmartThings ecosystem and macOS. If you’re into automation and love tinkering with technology, I highly recommend checking out the HS-EventGhostServer plugin. The GitHub repository includes detailed documentation and examples, so even if you’re not a coding expert, you can get started with ease.
This integration has been a huge time-saver for me, and I’m excited to explore more possibilities with it. If anyone has questions or needs help setting it up, feel free to reach out! Happy automating!
