Hi everyone. I’m looking for a device to install Home Assistant on to manage a smart thermostat, a programmable light bulb (on and off), and another lamp in my house. Since I’ll be doing other work in the future, I want to use Home Assistant to be ready for the future.
That said, I’m looking for a device (a Mini PC, a Pi, etc.) that consumes very little power, as I’ll be using it exclusively for this purpose. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
If running Home Assistant is all you are going to do, Pi is enough. There’s also official hardware with Home Assistant preinstalled: Home Assistant Green
I second the green recommendation. Works great out of the box.
