ZBT-2 + Soyo Mini PC + Kajplats: How do I bring it together in Home Assistant? (lemmy.ml)

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.

If you plan to run other stuff, I’d rather recommend using HAOS in a VM, possibly on Proxmox VE.
