- frenchie4111 6y agoThis is cool. It's crazy to me that this sort of thing needs to exist
- CharlesW 6y agoThanks for posting this! This looks like a fine product, and it led me to learn that Starling Home Hub is effectively "homebridge-nest[1] in a box", which is great news for Homebridge[2] users.

- covercash 6y agoI ran Homebridge for a while but got tired of dealing with maintenance. The Starling box is set-it-and-forget-it. I don’t think I’ve had to access the control panel since installing it so it was well worth the $100 imo.
- CharlesW 6y agoFor sure, the reduced cognitive overhead is absolutely worth the price of admission. I need to run Homebridge anyway for a bunch of devices that I want to be available via Alexa and HomeKit, so for me there was no incremental complexity. I'm running Homebridge via a Docker image[1] on my NAS (using QNAP Container Station), with Homebridge UI to manage.
