Yeah I still use their temp sensors and they seem to work fine. The door/window sensors seem to work ok too, but for the most part I’ve just swapped over to Aqara for anything new I’ve bought.

Yeah I gave up with them and went with Aqara ones. I just gradually replaced all the Sonoff motion sensors.

The Hue motion sensors are great, but quite expensive. I’ve found the Aqara ones to be best value for money. Haven’t had many issues with them.

Yeah I have been. But have a mix of apex and mini graph. Was going to migrate them all to apex and noticed it hasn’t been updated in years. Didn’t want to migrate everything and then have it stop working in a future home assistant update. Could be worrying about nothing though.

The only other thing I’ve noticed is that it’s quite power hungry compared to mini graph, albeit it having more functionality.

I don’t know, I haven’t used Grafana.

It could be worth cross posting this to !homeautomation@lemmy.world

As long as it’s not LEGOs I can get behind that.

I do! Would probably give up my Netflix subscription before YouTube to be honest. As a family, we spend more time using YouTube than most other streaming services.

Yeah good call. I might mess around with the mini PC with things like docker and Plex server before I do anything major with HA. I’m not having any issues with HA at the moment and the Pi seems to be going strong for now.

Sorry for the dumb question, but would I be able to achieve something similar to the Plex server Docker config you shared, but without docker? If I don’t bother trying to get HA running on the same mini PC?

I might have a play around with the mini PC before I try do anything major with HA.

Edit: have found a couple guides, so will try it out.

Is docker very different to HAOS? Anything major I’d have to do differently?

I’ve also heard of doing it using Proxmox, but not sure if there’s any advantages/disadvantages?

Also, thanks so much for those links. Super helpful.

Forgot to add, I got 16gb ram and 500gb hard drive.
