Pros
- Migration to Homebridge → Snapshots worked immediately

- The software for the Raspberry is called HomeBridge.
- It involves running Homebridge with the AppleTV Enhanced plugin. In the plugin config, you can add Custom Input URLs to deep-link to apps.
Cons
- I used to be a huge HomeKit+Homebridge fanboy, Home Assistant hater. Until I tried it. ... That Pi that you're getting? Put Home Assistant OS on it, not Homebridge.
- Homebridge has some plugins that do this.
- If you have devices that aren't Homekit compatible, install Homebridge on your Pi and expose it to Homekit.
- After spending all morning getting Homebridge to just about work to pull things through to Apple Home then realizing I needed to have an always on hub as well as the laptop with the bridge constantly running I got frustrated
- I’ve looked at homebridge as option to link HomePod to google tv but I haven’t tried it yet.
