Full Disclosure, complete HA newb here.
I’ve been running HomeBridge off a Raspberry Pi 4 and I’m dipping my foot into HA (same Rasp Pi 4).
My Goal: Have all customisability of HA but still have access to all the devices (both HK and non-HK) through Siri and Apple Home.
I have non-HomeKit lights (TP-Link TAPO, Wiz, Tuya etc) which I’ve been using effectively through HomeBridge. I do this to access the lights through Home app and to use Siri.
-
How can I use my Aqara camera through HA? (It is native Homekit device).
-
How can I get the TP-Link TAPO lights working so that I can use Siri still?
-
How do Homepods work in HA? Can I still use them with Siri?
I am so completely confused because when I add a HASS (?) bridge it basically detects a whole bunch of weird switches and stuff… it gets some of the Zigbee sensors right, but it’ll have the Apple TV and Homepods as 4 different switchs.
