My 3rd Gen Rev A Apple TV (Model A1469) has been sitting around in a drawer for a long time and I was considering recycling it. But it works perfectly (minus the drawbacks of it having old technology) and I can’t stand the idea of wasting something useful. Is it possible to repurpose it for Home Assistant? I’m still working on getting started with HA - is it possible to use this to run the OS?

How else could I repurpose this? Has anyone else successfully done something like this?

Any help that explains like I’m 5 will also be especially appreciated since I am still learning these things 🙏🏻

Thanks!
