Synology aren’t Open-Source so that’s a deal breaker for me.

Currently I’m just using CF as a tunnel so that I can reach my server through eg. immich.mydomain.com anywhere in the world. The issue I’m running into is Large files fail (they have file size limits)

I have a Zigbee dongle, so Matter works on WiFi hardware? I don’t need a extra dongle?

Fantastic, hoping to see more Matter devices, I wonder what a hub will cost to connect HA to Matter
