Excellent video.
I’ve found that matter devices still have quirky connections. My Homebridge is all up to date and I’m still using only a PI 3B, but it is still super stable. Way more so than any matter device. I can’t wait to get a PI 5, but how much speed improvement do you see using your new PI 5?

[@eddiedsuza]

The only noticeable difference is that snapshots load faster compared to a pi 4.
Matter devices in Brasil don't even exist - third world problems lolx

[@eddiedsuza]

Dont feel shy to tell me if you have tried all the 3 features !

Hi my name is Engagement farming

[@charmainejohnson2330]

Nice video with great information as always. I have not updated node.js because of the issues it was causing with the HB UI. Is this still the case?

[@eddiedsuza]

Updated node.js facilitates Homebridge to work well.

[@aaronharvey6406]

By the way, your new home looks great!

[@eddiedsuza]

Thank you!!

[@aaronharvey6406]

Thanks for the video. I do have a question. I noticed after a power outage that I have to manually power back on my raspberry pi. Is there a way to program it to automatically turn back on once the power comes back on? Thanks.

[@eddiedsuza]

Hey Aaron .. All raspberry pi's power up automatically unless you are using a Argon One Case - then you'll need to toggle a jumper insde the case. Is that in your situation ?

[@aaronharvey6406]

I have the Argon One case from what you used in your HomeBridge raspberry pi video. You had setup it to power on with the button on the back of the Argon One case.

[@eddiedsuza]

@@aaronharvey6406 that is correct. It’s a jumper setting. Do you have yours in the right jumper setting ?

[@csevgut]

do you prefer homebridge on a rasp or in a Nas?

[@eddiedsuza]

On the pi a 100% as Homebridge has full control on the hardware as well as it’s built on Linux.
