Hi, apologies, I am brand new to Home Assistant so let me try to explain my problem. I have an IKEA bulb and an IKEA bilresa remote and all I want to do, ultimately, is be able to change the colour of my bulb with my remote. (Just getting that out of the way first in case anyone can tell me I'm way off with what I'm trying to do.)

So I have installed Home Assistant on my Mac using UTM, that all seems to be working fine, it's finding other devices in my home. To use my bilresa remote, I have learned that I need to use the Matterbridge add on (?) however, my free storage is less than 0.4 gb in Home Assistant so I'm not able to install any add-ons. I have done basically nothing with Home Assistant but it's been giving me this warning since I first opened it. Any help would be much appreciated!

I figured it out, i had to resize the drive in the UTM settings

okay after much trial and error, I have concluded that it's impossible to use my bulb without some sort of thread hub or dongle
