The Homebridge Raspberry Pi Image can run on all generations of Raspberry Pi that include built in networking.
| Model | Ethernet | WiFi |
|---|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi 1 B | x | |
| Raspberry Pi 2 | x | |
| Raspberry Pi 3 | x | x |
| Raspberry Pi Zero W | x | |
| Raspberry Pi Zero WH | x | |
| Raspberry Pi 3 A+ | x | |
| Raspberry Pi 3 B+ | x | x |
| Raspberry Pi 4 B | x | x |
A Raspberry Pi 3 or later is recommended. The Raspberry Pi 1, 2 and Zero W / WH do work, but will not provide an optimal experience.
For devices that do not have built in WiFi, certain dongles / adapters may work, but these are not officially supported by this project.
WiFi Connect has been successfully tested using the following WiFi dongles:
| Dongle | Chip |
|---|---|
| TP-LINK TL-WN722N | Atheros AR9271 |
| ModMyPi | Ralink RT3070 |
| ThePiHut | Ralink RT5370 |
Given these results, it is probable that most dongles with Atheros or Ralink chipsets will work.
The following dongles are known not to work (as the driver is not friendly with access point mode or NetworkManager):
- Official Raspberry Pi dongle (BCM43143 chip)
- Addon NWU276 (Mediatek MT7601 chip)
- Edimax (Realtek RTL8188CUS chip)
Dongles with similar chipsets will probably not work.
