Dipping my toes into #HomeAutomation starting with a couple of #Sonoff temp/humidity sensors + Dongle Lite to use with my laptop and #HomeAssistant before having a dedicated hub.
That's £51 so ok to play and get the basics.
Got any thoughts or suggestions?
Home Assistant Green looks good for a dedicated hub but at £150 a bit much until I've tested the basics out. This is for a house I'm not living in yet so monitoring is all I need.
@mvrenselaar that's interesting thanks. Hadn't heard of either of those.
So your suggesting an #NUC and use #Proxmox to support HA and other handy apps in different VMs? Do you have a setup like this?
Of course you can do that. Actually, that is the main point of using #Proxmox
I have a Proxmox here that runs HA, Checkmk on Debian, RHEL and Windows VMs.
Aside: as long as HA means "Home Assistant" and not "High Availabilty". For the latter you need more Proxmox hosts. If one fails, the other one will run the VMs.
@robertdahlem Yes I meant Home Assistant. Thanks 🙂
@happyborg yes. HA in one, pihole in another and whatever i want as well.
A whole new rabbit hole :)
