As far as hardware, you can just get https://www.home-assistant.io/green (plus https://www.home-assistant.io/connectzbt1/ if you need Zigbee and Matter).



I'd recommend a Raspberry Pi instead. Easier to source (you may even already have it!) and I can guarantee it will be supporter longer and better than whatever low-volume Chinese board they're using here. There is zero advantage to this box, it doesn't even include built-in interfaces for some of the more "exotic" protocols like Zigbee or Z-Wave so you still need dongles either way.


https://www.home-assistant.io/yellow has the extra interfaces for Zigbee and Z-Wave - and the compute board is an Raspberry Pi 4 or 5.


Or get an ODROID! Much more powerful for (nearly) the same price.
