I’ve been curious about homebridge for quite some time and have been considering picking up a Raspberry Pi to run it. I’m interested to know about others experiences with it, and what sort of difficulties I might expect to troubleshoot in the future.

Is an RPi4 enough? Is an RPi5 overkill?

    Better than assigning a static IP on the system/router is probably to create a DHCP reservation instead, that way you can never run into an issue where 2 machines end up with the same IP, and you don’t have to mess around with the assignment pool scope.

    This might be what you meant, but just to clarify for those who might not know.

      I didn’t know there are multiple ways but we probably mean the same. It’s a common feature on routers.
