Incredible Eddie! At one time, this task appeared to be quite intimidating especially for myself who purchased a Hubitat Hub due to the Raspberry Pi Shortage.

Had I know it was this easy, I would have waited for the Pi Resupply. Just for clarity, does this mean at the point when you end the video, that you could add as example, the MYQ Garage Door into HomeKit without the MyQ Hub (home Hub)?

Thanks for the awesome tutorial, I cannot wait to do this on my own.

Thank you for this very complete and very educational video. I just bought the Home Assistant Green box with the Sky Matter key, but I want to switch to Homebridge. Can I reset this box and integrate Homebridge instead? THANKS

Hello Eddie, thank you very much for your contribution... Unfortunately, I get Accessory not responding in Apple Homekit. In Homebridge the accessories do appear.

Hi Eddie, great job some useful information as I’m just stating building my smart home. Would you say I start on a raspberry pie or a intel nuc. Or what do you recommend

[satisfyngjumppie]

How can I made the raspberry run on Wi fi?

[randygreen]

Thanks for the tutorial but is it possible to do, install Homebridge, this on the OrangePi 5? Raspberry Pi is so hard to find as they’re always out of stock or you go on a waiting list.

Would you be able to transfer the plugins from say a MacBook to the home-bridge set up on the raspberry pi or do I need to start over again?

[rkingslandjr]

If the pi came with the operating system preinstalled on the sd card. Do you need to do it the way you show here or can you do it directly on the raspberry pi user interface?

[chert]

I installed homebridge on my computer. I just bought a Raspberry Pi and installed everything just like you said. How do I manage plugins or change the configuration from my Mac to the Raspberry Pi since it’s still on my mac

Just got my rasperry pi. I didn't buy any zigbee for now as I dont want to spend to much on add-ons and then i can't even get the basics to work. Your tutorials seem stright forward for newbies like me. so with your help I maybe get it done. And finally centralize all the smart home mess I have at my home now. (tuya-wifi-devices, smarthings-hub, Dana-bridge (bluetooth hub), some zigbee devices, switchbot vacuum robot, MI home for another robot some IR and RF devices. it drives me crazy! And even as meta is set now as standart. I doubt all futur devices are set to work with meta right now. and i doubt my old device will ever allow it if it is even possible for them to upgrade...

Hi Eddie, Kindly suggest me alternate SBC for core of my smart home. I'm looking for SBC to install homebridge.

[cristiangeorgescus]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial! Made me buy a raspberry pi! 😅

I have a question : Does it work without a sonoff Zigbee dongle?

[David..]

Thanks for this super helpful video. This is all super foreign to me but I need something to run a garage door smart controller with Siri/homekit and the Meross units I’ve had have been unreliable. Had a question. What sort of specs should I look for for a Rasberry Pi if I want to really just run homebridge to a Wyze cam garage door controller? Seems like there are a lot of options at a variety of price points and I’m pretty Amish when it comes to this stuff. The plan would be to have it housed in a closet where my router is.

Are you opening the browser on the pi or on the computer? Like when you’re using the homebridge, are you using from pi or remotely from your PC to the pi?
