Hi everyone,

Not sure how many of you use Homebridge, the open-source platform to allow third-party accessories to connect to Apple Home, but I've been working with the developer/maintainer of the Homebridge UI for the last few months, and have made some pretty significant accessibility changes/enhancements to the web UI. Version 5.24 has all of the accessibility changes we've made so far, so if you're a regular user of Homebridge, or just want to check it out, feel free to do so, and let me know if you'd like any changes etc to existing buttons/layouts.

Best,

Rocco

If I do decide to automate my apartment, it's either HA or Homebridge and HomeKit, so I'm glad to hear I'll have options. At the moment I don't have a use for it, but thanks anyway for doing the work!

I've heard of this been installed on NAS drives for always on availability. A lot of people appear to use a Docker container in a Synology NAS.
Has anyone ever tried this using VoiceOver?
Thanks Ron

Homebridge actually has a native package for Synology, which is what I'm currently using. I don't like Docker, mainly because I don't feel like managing a bunch of containers lol and with Synology specifically you don't have to unless you want to :-)
