Homebridge for RaspberryPi User Reviews

Top reviews

No joy too

This assumes you need to install from scratch. I have a perfectly working install, nd this can’t connect.

Not recommend for already installed Hb

Already had an instance of homebridge running on a rpi3, tried to pair this app with it, setup seemed smooth but was never able to recognize the plugins, could not recognize that the hb service was running and kept turning off the service.

Now have to rebuild from scratch.

Disappointing

Couldn’t get it to log in in, with the right credentials. No response from developer. Better to stick with actual Homekit.

Good app but lacks docker support

This would’ve been a good app but it lacks docker support I have a home bridge set up on the rocker and I could not manage it

Does not work.

Tried Pi 3, 4 (2, 4 and 8 GB), and Zero W; using all versions from 9-14.16.1 of node js on piOS and Ubuntu. Nothing worked.

App finds all devices, add them to Home then they all within 2 minutes to unresponsive.

Save your money and look for an app that doesn’t charge you to see if it works.

Utter disappointment.

Total garbage, doesn’t work

Honestly, don’t waste your money. This app is extremely temperamental and not worth it. Find a guide online and set it up yourself.

Useless

Completely useless app

No longer working without an update

I have been recommending this for some time as it has been a great help in setting up and managing Homebridge installs. But due to forcing lower version of key components it no longer installs a working build. The app will need an update to resolve this behavior but appears to be abandoned.

Naja...

Ich wollte damit meine Fritzbox Geräte an der Homebridge anmelden. Am Ende musste ich doch manuell konfigurieren, da hätte ich gleich das homebridge.local Interface nehmen können. App verliert ausserdem regelmäßig Verbindung, diese muss alle pasr Sekunden „repariert“ werden.

Avoid until it’s updated.

Don’t want to have a go at the developer, but I just spent 7 quid on this, and it doesn’t work.

The idea is a good one, and it would have been worth the money if it did what it was supposed to, but it didn’t.

Save your money, download the pre-configured Homebridge image from their web page, and manage your server via the Homebridge Config web interface that comes pre-installed on that image. It works well, and it’s free.
