| Not named | Works Local | Acts as Thread border router meshing with Apple TVSaved copy… protocols and everything but Thread is a blind spot. Hoping to learn more with this post! I have three Thread Border Routers in my home- an Apple TV 4K, Aqara M3 Hub, & Echo 4th gen. I’d like to remove the Echo 4th gen as an option as a Thread Border Router and have the Apple TV and Aqara M3 hub mesh over Thread. Is this possible? Having two border routers mesh on the same network. If you have any recommendations, that would be great.

| Not named | Partly works | Still needed for Aqara door lock, doorbell and S1 panelSaved copy… VM for easy backup/restoring in case there is a disaster with an SLZB-06 POE handling Zigbee. I moved all my Hue devices to that and got rid of the Hue Hub. I still have an Aqara M3 Hub that's needed for my Aqara Doorlock, my Aqara Doorbell and my S1 Panel. I moved from HA Yellow because ZHA doesn't provide as many options as Z2M. Bought an ASUS NUC 14 Pro with Intel 125H and loaded it up with 96GB RAM and a few TBs on SSD as my Proxmox. Running HA, Scrypted and PiHole on that for now with hopes to add more in the future. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-06 |

In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
