Hi, I recently made the switch to Lemmy from Reddit. But r/homekit is one of the communities I miss the most.

What can I do to help build this community up? I’m happy to make posts, comment, and upvote. Is trying to poach people from r/homekit a bad idea?

I would love to get to know everyone better. Here’s some info about my smart home.

  • I’m using Apple Home, and my primary hub is a 4K Apple TV 4K Ethernet, which I chose for the Thread radio.
  • I’m almost exclusively using Thread devices, and most of those are Matter over Thread.
  • Most of my lights are Nanoleaf Essentials (Matter over Thread), and despite people hating Nanoleaf, they have been much better lately.
  • For more advanced lighting, I’m using WLED, which is a DIY project for controlling addressable light strips.
  • My WLED lights are bridged into HomeKit via Homebridge, though I’ve considered switching to Home Assistant.
  • I’m using a Deco mesh router with two nodes, and it’s been amazing for the relatively low cost.
  • Outside of Apple Home, I use Ring, which I’ve bridged into Apple via Homebridge. I hate the Ring subscription, but their hardware is solid.

Excited to get to know everyone!

    Hi! I’ve gone all in on Matter/Thread the last twoish years! I’m not an expert, but I’ve definitely learned from my mistakes. Let me know if you need help with anything! I’ll start posting more Thread related content.
