homebridge-raspbian-image VS HOOBS

Following this guide on the repo, I am running into this warning: [deCONZ] warning: not a deCONZ gateway

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.

I just image it with rasberry pi imager using the homebridge instructions - https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Getting-Started.

It has RTL8152B. The doc for raspian HB image here https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Supported-Raspberry-Pi-Models

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.

The same Raspberry Pi that Homebridge is on, I'd imagine. It's included as an extra package in the official installer image: https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/How-To-Install-AdGuard-Home

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.

I am super green when it comes to linux and all the commands. I tried running commands one by one from this script https://github.com/hoobs-org/HOOBS/blob/main/scripts/pihole-hoobs.sh But i am getting stuck pretty much in the beginning with this: hoobs@hoobs:~ $ rm -rf /etc/profile rm: cannot remove '/etc/profile': Permission denied

Well, that's drastically irritating, as I was told to do just that. https://github.com/hoobs-org/HOOBS/issues/726

I had the same problem, repeatedly. I tried removing and re-added the bridge, clearing the refresh token manually, etc., to no avail. The only thing I found that worked was just to update the whole install, as suggested here: https://github.com/hoobs-org/HOOBS/issues/1614

I dont think you're supposed to go to hoobs.org. The page looks just like the one you're supposed to go to but it is not the same. That is a possibility why your whole shabang didnt show up.

So I downloaded the latest image from https://github.com/hoobs-org/HOOBS/releases which states 4.1 and that it is based on Bullseye. However my version shows as 4.0.71 and still says it’s on Buster. What happened? Had the link not been updated? How do I now get to 4.1/Bullseye without re flashing an image?

I found this issue in github where it says it would "run". But would it actually work?
