WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Linux isn’t really the limitation here, but I prefer it to run homelab/automation stuff. For the Wyze cams (and cameras in general), scrypted is a better solution for most people for getting cameras into HomeKit. There’s a subreddit for it with a very active developer and plenty of YouTube videos of setting it. You’ll want to install docker on your computer to run scrypted as a container. Additionally, you’ll need to either flash the wyze cams with the rtsp firmware or use the docker/wyze rtsp bridge. Each method has its own way of creating the rtsp, but once you have that info, plugging it into scrypted and getting it into HomeKit is straightforward. It’s all pretty tedious, but a good learning experience, and once you have docker setup, there’s all sorts of stuff you can mess around with
