I don't think you could ever get a cheaper TBR unless you already have an apple TV, a homepod, an echo or some smart speaker from google Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-09 |
Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.
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.
