I picked up a Home Assistant Green to replace my broken RPi3 Home Assistant box last holiday season. After a year of using it, it's been stable and an excellent addition to my #homelab

We had to replace our washing machine this year, and it has Home Assistant integration, which is pretty cool. I haven't quite figured out what to do with this data, but I'm debating flashing something on our TV or changing one of the bulbs' colors so that I see it.

@webology notifications via the app is my goal. I’m hacking together hardware to do it because my laundry setup is notably not “smart”.

@webology thanks for posting this! I’ve been looking at these and wanting a recommendation from someone I know 😂

@derwolfe No problem. If you want something that you can plug-in and it just works, it's worked uneventfully for the last year. My RPi3 was good for 3 or 4 years, but the last 1.5 years it was more down than up.

@webology thanks for sharing. I was thinking about getting a Home Assisting Green instead of a new RPi5

@webology I just set up a Home Assistant Green and sensors over the holiday to control my ERV based on CO2 levels. It’s working well.
