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.

I recommend this too. I'm using kubernetes for other stuff, but HAOS for Home Assistant. Super easy to manage. And it works great on small, appliance machines (I'm using Home Assistant Green).
