From HomeKit to Homelab: Reclaiming My Smart Home

By

On June 30, 2026

In Homelab, Meta, Smart Home

Last week, I presented at MacDevOps:YUL! Although it’s usually held in Vancouver (as MacDevOps:YVR), this year it took place in Montreal due to the World Cup. This was my first time visiting Montreal, and I had a fantastic time. What a great conference, as always – thank you to the team that made this happen!

In my presentation, I talked about our migration from HomeKit to Home Assistant, and covered some of the reasons why you might want to consider your own switch.

My slides are available here, and the video of my presentation can be found below:

MacDevOpsYVR 2022 Workshop

It’s been really quiet here, but that’s because I’ve been busy!

For starters, I participated in a workshop in June for the consistently excellent MacDevOpsYVR conference. We discussed various ways of deploying MunkiReport. I strongly encouraged everyone to take a look at Docker!

Many, many thanks to Mat X for inviting me to share my experiences, and for his skillful editing of the video recording.

My diagrams are included in the video, but I’m posting them here for posterity. 😎

More to come on this topic!

I’m not sure how I hadn’t posted about this yet, but I help organize a local meetup group for Mac / iOS admins, called Greater Philadelphia Mac Admins. We meet monthly – if you’re in the area, you should consider attending! The meetings are free, and dinner is provided.

For more information, please see our website.

Also, I presented on Munki a few months ago, at the October 2015 meeting. Check it out!
