if you think of it, keep us updated. I have a desktop that i set to run home bridge on start up so it will let me use it remotely etc without having to do anythign extra but I was thinking of getting a Pi to simplify it and not have to worry about screwing things up when or if i change the desktopThanks for this. I actually went a different route and bought a Pi, that I set up last night. I was using the Homebridge app on iOS to get it going, but running into issues there. I need to do more research on my end for getting the Pi working.
