Lenovo mini for me. Way more processor than needed but has nvme drive, is quiet, no noticeable fan noise, low power usage, upgradable.

Excellent, thank you BoG. Home Assistant has moved on in two years so some ferreting around required to find the equivalent info. Most significant change to get MQTT working was the server config entry to get rid of the 502 error. Now needs to be in the format "server: mqtt://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:1883"

I've got HAOS running on a HP T610 AMD G-T56N 1.65GH THIN CLIENT. I changed the 16 GB ssd to a 160 GB a spinning disk and it runs just fine. At the moment it's only got 2 GB ram but I'll upgrade this to 8 GB next year so that once I really start adding smart stuff to my home it's not going to have a problem running everything. And the best thing is, only paid £15.88 delivered complete with the PSU.

What aboug the linknlink isg gateway?

AFAIK, there's one article about SATA port multipliers - the one about it causing a second drive to fail when the first fails naturally. On AliExpress there's a case for four disks that connects to an external SAS connection. The company used to make an 8 drive but it's hard to find. It's not an expander backplane, though. Do you think that port multiplier error affects SSDs also? Thanks!

Don't muck around with underpowered devices.. Run it on an Intel NUC or equivalent like a Dell micro PC...

I hope this gives you some idea of what you can run Home Assistant on and if you enjoyed the video then don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel

I have a few Wiser digistats but no hub. The digistats support bluetooth but just provide 1-channel "I need heat" control to a separately. managed heating system. Would I still need a wiser hub or would this not work?

This is a brick on my wall, at the moment the iSG dashboards that come from the onboard HA only work if you use the onboard HA. The updates on iSG HA are slow and no addon store except if linknlink set one up for you. Its not really working for me, I've got a Pi5 in a Pironman5 case thats awesome, I can display my own HA on the iSG but the iSG constantly freezes so Ive given up for now.

I *think* actionable notifications are built-in to HA Core now. I’m using it and didn’t have to install anything special. I might be missing some context , though.

Some of these look quite nice, but Personally I despise slider cards, as they are annoying to operate. The state card might be nice to hide my thermostat cards when its summer. though for this I use a currently basic calender based automation

What do you think of these dashboard controls? Are you going to use any of them with your Home Assistant? If you enjoyed the video then don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel

Sounds like a good option for many average smart home users. Higher tech with time on their hands might want to can go to home assistant and a build your own option. This looks like a good path for me.

Hi, what about using a google home to voice control the wiser on home-assistant and not have to pay a sub?

So compared to other cameras… this is pants. Back to the drawing board for me

I have 16 8tb drives all refurbished drives from ebay. 1 seller got every drive they sent me back because my external 4 bay raid 5 drive would not accept them, 8 drives total did not work until I found another seller and only 1 drive had to be returned. I have had the drives just over 5 years and only had 1 other drive fail. The price is the main factor for me because I backup everything.

This is a no-go for me. The hub and and internet connect is weird. I'm not in the switchbot ecosystem, which makes this worse. I wonder if there's a zigbee or native matter (no hub) remote out there? Thanks for the review.

I can't get mine to work with home assistant on the zigbee2mqtt, I see many like you just copy and paste and it works, well not for me... it sort of works then crashes I was able to add one sensor (aqara temp sensor) that will not read anything, sys incompatible, and it will just randomly stop, I got it going again using some tips here, but still won't read the sensors anyway. I have heard some doing fresh install of HA, well I don't think I am going to do that, as this zigbee was a new addition so I may just forget about spending days trying to get it working. I've got other things working without issues, not sure what's going on with this?

I have an issue with my own one earbud isn't connected to the other and is on constant "pairing but nothing is happening anyone knows how to fix this?

I would love to see Switch Bot and home assistant get things going better i can definitely see the switch bot remote become the remote that takes over harmony elite and harmony hub spot but in order for them to take that spot adding home assistant cards like harmony has is definitely a top feature needed I keep seeing some other remotes that pair with home assistant and will even take and use home assistant to control devices that are setup into home assistant and be able to control them I am hoping Byte of geek if your able to get the new remotes that are out and do a smart home face off challenge with all of the new universal remotes and do a comparison on which is going to be best for the people using home assistant that would be awesome Plus if you have other eco systems like Google or alexa or apple home kit and homey we can see a face off between all 5 and really see who is at the top for smart home eco systems in 2024 and 2025

Does it work with Tizen based Samsung tv? I failed to learn NETFLIX & Prime command in Broadlink integration.

I bought one last prime day but I haven't opened the box yet. I also bought the new Sofabaton x1s and started the setup but I didn't finish it when it didn't find my 12 year old TV and i had to look for the original remote. All of this in the hope of replacing my Harmony Elite

Do you have a SwitchBot Universal Remote (or similar) or are you thinking of getting one? Comment down below and if you've enjoyed the video then don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel.

I know now that I am not going to upgrade

can i ask something?

It not ready yet.......lot of bugs

Guessing that a smart TRV will not necessarily be needed for the same room that the thermostat is located?

Great review. I'm looking for options for my elderly mum who doesn't have the internet. To this would be perfect.

Thank you, helped a lot 👍

Really helpful video. Could you please point me to the forum post you referred to or explain how you wired it? I have the same ESi stat I'm changing to Wiser and scratching my head a little on how to wire it. Thanks in advance

Fantastic, that is Exactly what I needed, Thanks mate

Thank you so much. What speeds should I expect from my NAS unit

Lets open the box only to see nothing... Who are you trying to decieve? HA is the platform, you build the universe uppon, not the end product. You develop the integrations that compute all interesting stuff for you and this does require some silicon... I tell you that a single NUC is not enough for 500m2 house, and you claim that some cheap chinise tablet can be the 'heart' of some smart home?

So equivalent to a Pi and a display. Doesn't seem groundbreaking to me. No audio, no LEDs, no buttons.

There is only a long list when I go to HACS. There is no "Front End"

So... The iSG Display Max or putting something together yourself? If you've enjoyed the video then don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel

If I had $1,000, I would choose to spend $100 on a bag to store my $900 instead of spending $1,000 on an empty bag kislux

I have bought brand new and refurbished and have had the same luck with both, I don't use raid or anything, I use JBOD on OMV, works well for me 😊

I have been using 4 20TBX20 Seagate Exos HDDs for a little over 1 year now and so far have had no problems with them and I'm not even sure if it was refurbished or resel the hard drives were in mint condition nothing on them at all not even the slightest fingerprint and thay are working like a charm. I paid roughly 300€ ~ £250.

Does the Wiser work locally? So I can not connect it to my internet and just control it through HA? I don't intend to use a wiser app/create an account or anything other than HA.

The thing what kills hdd is high temperature! In your video it shows at 55C!!! That’s not good, really not good. Next time put fan right at them so they’re not exceeding 45C -that’s already plenty hot! Good video otherwise-very informative

when buying these drives ... should always buy an extra one put it in a cheap usb enclosure and attach it to your NAS then use it as ADDITIONAL extra backup for your important files only (so its used daily) if a drive fails in the nas can repalace with the spare straight away whilst you wait for the RMA'd drive then put the repalcement in the now empty usb enclosure... and so on ....

Hi, just came across your channel, do you know if this has the ability to connect to the Yale Smart Alarm and TP-Link Tapo products via automations? I want my sensors to trigger the alarm if motion is detected or dorr sensors open inside - currently can't do it in Alexa or Google Home. Also can all products work with each other or are there limitations? Thanks for your help !

What camera do you use?

Great to see another good video mate!

£9 a tb is really good. When you priced it that way, it makes new, ssd's at £100 per tb quite a lot more

Interesting watch. Been contemplating a NAS for probably a year now. I was thinking second hand box and spending as much as I can on new large capacity drives, but this give more food for yet more thought!

Very well spoken, informative content, and great production value. Cheers for sharing mate, this was a great watch!
