Sure! I use this plugin: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge-dummy (I use a LOT of virtual switches so wanted a more generic option).

Trouble using deCONZ plugin and Conbee II

PSA Don’t buy safe & sound Smoke detector by First Alert
1 project | /r/HomeKit | 7 Jul 2023

For anyone new to this game: Homebridge is far better and far easier than HOOBS to maintain over the long haul, regardless of HOOBS marketing insisting otherwise. And don't just trust me on this, ask any popular plugin developer.

Open the Door with my Smartwatch
2 projects | /r/Ring | 21 May 2023

Which is different from Ring's Doorbell, but the fact still remains, Ring doesn't have a smart watch app, nor is it natively HomeKit compatible. However if you set up Homebridge for it, you can make it so.

Using a Mac with Ventura... is there any way to install Homebridge on my Raspberry Pi?
2 projects | /r/raspberry_pi | 26 Mar 2023

As for the original issue - you may have downloaded a corrupt image - if you really want to use their image (rather than build the OS then install) download it from here but check the sha256 of the downloaded file before using Etcher. I use QuickHash on my Mac but other programs exist for all platforms.
