"SkyConnect: The Ultimate Smart Home Reset Button"
The Home Assistant SkyConnect dongle is a combination Zigbee and Matter/Thread device that adds interoperability to smart home gadgets. Home Assistant is a free and open-source home automation software that can run on single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi. The SkyConnect is a great excuse to start fresh and convert your whole house to Home Assistant. The slow, painful process of dismantling everything connected to the Philips Hue Hub is worth it for the control and customization that Home Assistant provides.
