I have been loving this app! Its capabilities are just amazing!

One thing i am missing is the ability to run it on older macOS machines - i have a Mac Mini 2014, that i would just like to act as a smart controller. I know that i cannot run the latest macOS and thus cant open the new home app architecture, but cant this be done using just API calls to the Apple home architecture? Having the itsyhome HTTP server running on an old machine 24/7 would be awesome for home control!

What are the options? Is that possible, what are you guys using to bypass such limitations?
