Another rabit hole - Home Assistant the midnight project

light_switch

Always wanted to automate my home, got a home pod, but sick of always shouting at Siri to get things done.

So I took the hassle to run home assistant over Wireguard on remote vm.

A few key takeaways

  • HomeKit requires both mdns and ssdp relay (mdns-repeater and udp-broadcast-relay-redux was used)
  • add routes on openwrt
  • Add these entries to wg peer allowed_ips ‘224.0.0.251/32’ ‘239.255.255.250/32’

And if course, using copilot speeds things up a lot!
