Have you checked if it can be flashed with Tasmota/ESPhome, etc? I believe it can be integrated with homekit.

I used to obsess back in the XBMC days (my teens) about boxee and the boxee box (never bought it) thanks for the blast from the past!

I did look into something like that, and someone did accomplish it with a similar model.

I also realized that the skill necessary to accomplish this was way above my comfort level. I did see a product called the Bond Bridge Pro that has good reviews. The FCC ID for the fans isn't listed in their database yet but it may still work. I haven't had the time to dig further into it.

XBMC was a lot of fun back in the old days. As I got older, I definitely got lazier with stuff like that, went to an Apple TV, and was happy there. :)
