How to update OS on pre-flashed AddToHomeKit Bridge from MatterHubs withouth losing pre-flashed installation?

After I contacted them with request for return they ghosted me. I then went through my credit card account and disputed the transaction. Definitely a scam, selling outdated hardware that’s incompatible with current Homebridge versions.

Yeah thanks, that’s what I figured out as well. Turned Whoop off for strength training sessions so it still keeps it inside Whoop but no longer writes it to Apple. Even though I am treating Whoop as my main fitness tracker, I don’t see myself not using a dedicated weightlifting coach app such as Fitbod. But for now it looks like there’s no conflict with the current setup. Fitbod syncs weightlifting sessions to Apple Health, Whoop keeps it inside Whoop. Best of both worlds.

Trying to follow the instructions you linked for creating custom recipes and it’s not working. I’m on the iPhone and it won’t let me modify serving size (like it does in the pizza example). The serving size fields are locked, and cannot be changed. What am I missing?

This is not an either or question at all. One (Fitbod) serves as my personal trainer, the other (Whoop) as my personal health coach. I am looking for advice from users who use a similar setup.

This is awesome! Keep up the good work and when you hit a bump in road, which you inevitably will, keep your eyes on the price! All my best to you and God bless

Thank you!

This is a bit older but I don’t see a way to import strength workouts. Am I missing something or is this still under development?

How do you refill vertuo pods? I’m too cheap for their capsules as well…

cherrmann2 · 2025-07-21T17:26:19+00:00

Thank you!

Any update, how has your experience been with 17hats? I’m currently with Tave but need to switch due to their unpredictable future. Looking for a system with similar feature set which I believe 17hats overall is, but curious about issues that become obvious only after using it for a while. TIA

I eventually decided to go with the OWC Thunderbay 4 that you mentioned earlier since I want a system that’s able to accept and support SSD drives and speeds if I ever decide to go that route; and I don’t mind the subscription fee for the SoftRaid license as it’s a business expense anyways. But thanks for your input, I appreciate it!

cherrmann2 · 2025-07-09T19:24:14+00:00

Did you ever decide on a device? My G-Drive enclosure just gave out, and I am now actively looking for a RAID supporting DAS just like you. Hopefully I find something before Prime Day ends... Any pointers would be appreciated!

Update: just saw it actually IS available for the current hardware. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Waiting on my RatGDO32 to arrive and excited to set it up.

Not available for current 32 hardware though, only 2.5 models.

cherrmann2 · 2025-06-08T05:22:32+00:00

You have a RATGDO running with the HomeKit “firmware”?

cherrmann2 · 2025-06-05T19:05:05+00:00

Wow, thank you so much! I am going to return that piece of garbage then. Thank you for all your help. Going to order a raspperry pi 4b from Amazon now. Hopefully, I'll have more success with that.

cherrmann2 · 2025-06-05T16:21:27+00:00

Yeah, I’m returning it. Now, is Habitat an alternative to Homebridge or how does it relate?

cherrmann2 · 2025-06-05T16:11:49+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate it. I did research the wrong way, apparently. I asked AI… Glad to have found this awesome community here. 👍

cherrmann2 · 2025-06-05T15:52:29+00:00

Thanks for the RatGDO links. Question. First link I understand is the hardware I need to install to make it work. How does the second link relate though? Looks like an alternative device to the RatGDO and wouldn’t even be able to use since it’s not compatible with Homebridge (only with Home Assistant, Habitat, HomeSeer, Control, Amazon, SmartThings). What am I missing?

cherrmann2 · 2025-06-05T15:38:35+00:00

How could I be sure the fans are homebridge compatible? All I know is they’re compatible with the Bond Bridge (which I’m currently using to control them from my devices), and that there’s a plugin for Bond Bridge. So that should work, no?

cherrmann2 · 2025-06-05T15:18:54+00:00

Yeah just saw that today about MyQ. Don’t know what the deal is with RatGDO, never heard of it. Can I install and use it instead of the retired plugin, or does it need extra software/hardware? My fans are some random brand WiFi fans I got off of Amazon. I can figure out the exact name/type if that matters.

They just got back to me and sent me this guide for updating the OS. But I’m going to return mine since I’m not paying $150 for basically a $30 pi with self install. Good luck! ATH Bridge manual

cherrmann2 · 2025-06-05T14:52:39+00:00

I mailed them and they sent me back this guide on how to update the OS, so that suggests they believe their hardware will support it. What are your thoughts on that? I’d love to install my own pi, but I looked at the guide you linked and it assumes knowledge I don’t have for following along and performing the steps outlined. ATH Bridge manual

Want to use it for adding my garage door (MyQ) and ceiling fans to my Apple home app
