    You can find resources for each categories but don’t think there is one that would cover everything and the reason is there is always several ways to do things and not one way for all.

    First you need to choose an OS. You have a few choices here, a good way to start if you don’t have much knowledge on linux command, docker… is to use something like Casa OS, Zima OS which are much more beginner friendly, it basically has a store where you can pick what you need to selfhost. If you already feel more confident and want absolute full control you can use proxmox instead.

    Once you settled your OS, you need to pick what to use sleefhost image, music… Here you have again several solutions, you can check immich for pictures, jellyfin for music/video, home assistant for smart home.




  • Home assistant is a beast, not sure openhab can actually match it today. Unless you already have a pi5 and a SSD (avoid micro sd card), you could consider a mini pc with n150 (or n100) processor. It doesn’t consume much power (close to pi5) and it will be more powerful and more Ram which will be useful for immich.

    Start with zigbee first, much more mature than thread. I don’t personaly use thread but i believe some zigbee dongle also can deal with thread at the same time.

    About the setup. If mini pc, you can use proxmox so you will be able to create a VM for home assistant and another one for immich.





  • That might depends on how your AC is working, I recently did the same at my dad’s house and run into issues because the temp control for the unit is reading from the remote. So when I sent infrared command to turn off unit, it worked as expected for some minutes then turned back on because remote sent back command as temp wasn’t meet. Still need to do a lot of testing to find a way to make it work, might need to disable remote and use some temp sensors for the triggering part but not sure how that will work, might need to use some hysterisis friendly climate addon for that…
