Is there any interest in this? I currently have the OmniPro lighting units integrated with bi-directional status. Since the SmartThings hub can only talk REST or SOAP to local devices I am using my C# HAI Logger application as the endpoint for SmartThings. I'm debating about building out Thermostat, Zone, Area, and Button support. However I haven't been fully impressed with the SmartThings IDE.

Have you looked at Haiku Helper? It opens up a complete restful API to all HAI functions.

One angle for local interfacing is to use a Node.js setup on a linux box. Node-Red being the most common example. Runs reasonably well on a Raspberry Pi 2 and up. The idea being it provides a local network web connection to handle communicating with other interfaces.
I have the Smartthings hub and kind of stopped putting much effort into trying to use it. If only because they don't have a RA2 lighting interface. I was doing some Node-Red work to create one but got sidetracked by setting up a Homeseer3 server with a RA2 interface. Which is working reasonably well for the limited set of things I've tasked it with.
The SmartThings graph IDE is actually pretty robust in what it provides. Takes a bit of learning to get the hang of it. Which gets complicated by the sometimes uneven turn-around times for the cloud interface to it.
