Smart home? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by dadarobot@lemmy.ml to c/degoogle@lemmy.ml

I've been working on degoogling. i got a fairphone 6 with e/os. its been a great push in the right direction because many google services i previously relied on such as google home dont work.

no worries, ive always wanted to get better with Home Assistant. but devices dont generally advertise if theyre compatable with home assistant. so i got the matter controller for home assistant, great. just arrived yesterday, and tried to add a matter bulb to test it out.

home assistant says i need to be on official android with the home assistant companion app downloaded from the play store, not the fdroid version

im using the zbt-2 are you saying it runs its own webserver that i can access to onboard new devices? i just need to find the correct port? I know the threads/matter stuff runs in a separate app

I assumed it was through WiFi, I'm guessing you're running it through Thread. Is it a standalone or is it connected to some device, maybe you can access it through the device it's connected to? There might be a program for that.

I've got mine on WiFi (not through zbt-2), and it does indeed have a webserver that HA connects to

its connected to a pi4 running home assistant os

Well HA is able to talk to it, I assume you can access the rp machine and do the same to accomplish your goals.

I hope this info, helps, sorry I couldn't help further
