… didn't think I needed a pretty interface, but it made it so easy to setup my Homebridge environment from scratch, and it did save some time with configuring the various options. Well done! I also really love the following plugins: Homebridge Camera FFmpeg for viewing my Wyze camera Homebridge Harmony for controlling my Harmony hub on my oldest (but still kickin') TV Homebridge Ring for my Ring doorbell. I'm excited to see if button presses work with tvOS now--I could never get it working on my own Homebridge Securitysystem for a home-made security system. It's obviously a lot of thought was …

The ring integration is working well (and the developer is constantly updating/working on it which is nice).

WorksRuns on Pi 3B+ with plenty of memory free

I'm running on a Pi 3 B+, with 1GB of Ram; running the Ring plugin for a Ring Doorbell. It currently has 50% of memory free. It's in its little plastic case, thrown in a plastic bin with a pile of other network hubs. Cheap out, it'll be fine.

WorksRing and SimpliSafe doorbells work via Homebridge plugins
Saved copy
ring / simplisafe do not work natively, you have to use something like homebridge or home assistant and then install the plugin for the device, get it going if you want native without doing any extra work, then why not just start at apple's site and look at homekit accessories? I think you're limited to about 2 if you don't want additional work involved

ScryptedWorksTwo-way audio works through Scrypted plugin
Saved copy
No unfortunately. My Ring doorbell cam was the only device I could get two-way audio working because it’s natively supported in the scrypted plugin. The RTSP plugin is just a plugin that makes the network stream a viewable stream in the home app.

Partly worksShowed on Apple TV once, then needed Homebridge restart before it would connect again
Saved copy
Nice. I tried doing this with my ring doorbell and homebridge but kept running into an issue where after it displayed once on anything homebridge would refuse to connect a second time until i restarted homebridge. I tried asking for support but got nowhere and it seemed to be a common issue.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
