Heyho,
I am an absolutely beginner when it comes to Smart Homes, but have some knowledge when it comes to coding, Linux, Docker and Co.
So, I decided to make my home smart and bought some stuff and hopefully I am now able to connect it somehow, but I am missing a good explanation/tutorial.
If I understand correctly then I should install some software on my minipc, connect it to my ZBT-2 which then form a Matter Controller which then can be somehow connected to the Matter lightbulbs. Is that general notion correct or am I already off? If it is correct, does anyone know a good tutorial for it? When I try to google Matter Controller I often find ready made ones and nothing on how to set it up on my own.
I bought the MiniPC because I want to set up a small home server, too, but that is largely unrelated.


@VoxAliorum
That seems exactly like my situation.
I have an Odroid N2 which is supported by armbian and there is an image with home assistant already installed available. Fortunately there is an HAOS image for this HW as well. I’m unsure which one to use.
I know armbian - running pinebook pro and nextcloud on another Odroid N2+.
