Not Home Assistant hardware at all — but if you already own one for Apple TV duties, the Wi-Fi + Ethernet 128GB model doubles as a genuinely solid Thread border router that Home Assistant's built-in Thread/Matter support can share a mesh with, via Matter's multi-admin fabric support. Only the 128GB Wi-Fi+Ethernet SKU works well this way; the 64GB Wi-Fi-only model isn't a reliable Thread border router. Buy a SkyConnect-class dongle if this is the only reason you're shopping — this only makes sense as a bonus for existing Apple TV owners.
