Homebridge 2.0 is here, and it speaks Matter

I love homebridge. Out of the 100 devices or so that I have in the HomeApp, only 2 or so are „native“ HomeKit devices. Will upgrade to HomeBridge 2 soon (but keep my old installation just to be safe =))

Please be cognizant of fake plugins. They replicate entire plugins including the readme files and link to the original repos, but the code itself is different.

With HomeAssistant, what is really use for Homebridge? Seems like it’s a stepping towards HA, and everyone upgrades eventually.

I've heard of Homebridge before and looked into it briefly. But I never quite understood the appeal. Is the main benefit that you have all your cameras in one place, or you can trigger scenes based on non-HomeKit devices? I find it to be moderately annoying that my different brands of cameras aren't all in one place, but I'm not annoyed enough to spend hours setting up an intermediary system (that might need rebooting/special care when the power/internet goes out). What are the biggest benefits of Homebridge?
