I'm looking to add some Inovelli switches to my HA settup that I want to conrol some lighing parameters. I'm running HA in Docker on my Synology. I don't have a Z-Wave or Zigbee USB dongle hooked up. I do have Hue and I have a number of HomePods and AppleTVs that should be enabled as TBRs, I'm also not opposed to getting some other bridge if that's the best approach. What would be the best way to integrate Inovelli switches, and which switches would be recommended? Thanks!

Honestly, all of them will have problems with that sort of setup. Z-Wave or Zigbee require dongles (for Zigbee, something like an SMlight SLZB-06 series would likely be a good option to consider instead of a direct usb connected device). Matter with thread requires some tricky network considerations - you will need to run a separate docker container with the "python-matter-server", and that container must have networking which receives addresses and routes from the IPv6 router announcements sent by the external thread border routers. I'm not sure whether that'll work properly on the synology os.
