Sengled's servers are dead again, so I'm finally taking the plunge (infosec.pub)

Luckily I already have a Plex/Jellyfin server, so having a device running 24/7 isn’t an issue. But my experience is primarily on the HTPC side of things, so I’d appreciate any tips! I’m probably going to run it headless for now, but may eventually install a dashboard once the dust has settled on getting this running.

Isn't that just a Zigbee dongle? I'm confused.

He's using Sengled zigbee bulbs, probably with their hub. And needs an actual zigbee hub.

At least that's my understanding of his post.

I already have a few spare Raspberry Pi’s, so I’m going to install one alongside my Jellyfin server and flash Home Assistant onto it. Gotta have the dongle to actually connect to anything though. I suppose I could just spin up a container directly on my Jellyfin server, but then I wouldn’t have add-on support.
