I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I forgot to specify that some were Nintendo Switches, the console

I’m finding it a little hard to follow your description sorry, but couldn’t you do something like: Outside Internet -> Modem -> Router -> network switch -> devices?

No, because the desktop is in another room, unfortunately, and wife doesn’t like the idea of running a long lan cable.

I’ll try my best

Instead of two currently? Would it all be in the same network then?

I feel like they’re going to murder the captain and make it look like an accident because he got them stuck there

Yeah, I found a much cheaper alternative that ships from Europe for only 35€.

I’m getting conflicting information on Home Connect about the Sky Connect (now named some weird letter/number combo) that says it supports both matter/thread and ZigBee, but also actually it’s experimental so not really and it works for some but not others, but also support for matter/thread is coming in November…

Mostly I’m looking to make the server work with Ikea stuff plus a couple of lights/led strips that are sold locally that use Matter (Wiz lights I think?)

Is the Sky Connect I linked not good compared to those other ones? It supposedly connects with ZigBee, Matter, and Thread

Thanks everyone! Seems like the consensus is the GMK. I’ll try CasaOS on it then. If anyone here has experience with it though, do I need an extra peripheral for ZigBee/Matter support, like this one?

I don’t think this is what the public meant when we said “buy European”

It’s so strange to read and understand most German despite never having studied anything more than how to pronounce some letters and not being able to speak it at all
