Heyho,
I am an absolutely beginner when it comes to Smart Homes, but have some knowledge when it comes to coding, Linux, Docker and Co.
So, I decided to make my home smart and bought some stuff and hopefully I am now able to connect it somehow, but I am missing a good explanation/tutorial.
If I understand correctly then I should install some software on my minipc, connect it to my ZBT-2 which then form a Matter Controller which then can be somehow connected to the Matter lightbulbs. Is that general notion correct or am I already off? If it is correct, does anyone know a good tutorial for it? When I try to google Matter Controller I often find ready made ones and nothing on how to set it up on my own.
I bought the MiniPC because I want to set up a small home server, too, but that is largely unrelated.
That’s the route I took. I still pray for a nice Home Assistant helm chart because I’d really like to be able to quickly bounce a Home Assistant container around between nodes and also have easier monitoring and alerting, but all the k8s options just seemed too jank.
Yes, but then I had to setup Multus to have Home Assistant have an interface on my LAN (i.e. for HomeKit) and it’s added complexity at that point
