Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Parent context: Raspi is sufficient enough for Home Assistant? Reply: Sure, but don't cheap out on the RAM. I would recommend Raspberry Pi 4 with 8 gigs.
  • I'd just get a raspberry pi (pi4 works just fine, no need for a 5) or HA Green. You can get a z-wave "hat" for the pi, so that when you're ready to move to something else you can re-purpose the pi as a remote zwave gateway
  • Raspberry pi 4 + zigbee dongle
  • I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that isn't currently being used for a project, but would be open to a different hub if there's a good reason for it.
  • * Raspberry Pi 4 with PiKVM

Cons

  • One Chromebox (style doesn't matter, just HDMI output and Chrome -- I'd previously used a Raspberry Pi 4 for this)
  • My main web server is a project website that lives on a Raspberry Pi 4 (green).
  • Yeah I started with OMV on a Raspberry Pi 4 4 years ago when I first started homelabbing.
  • Modest upgrade for the homelab, from a raspberry pi 4 and 6tb external hard drive, to a HP prolient i5 with 16gb of ram and 4 x 6TB hard drives running unraid. Wow what an upgrade.
  • Hubitat C7 Elevation /Raspberry pi 4 running pihole/wireguard/Philips Hue hub
