Then you need something on which to run HA, which runs 24x7

candid gust Dec 4, 2022, 4:25 PM

#

Intel NUC quite good

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 4:26 PM

#

I run HA on a 9 year old i5 laptop, it comes with a built in UPS 😉

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

How much power does its draw?

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

A little more than a Pi4 draws

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 4:53 PM

#

Oh thats not too bad 🙂

#

Is 200$ old laptop considered cheap :))

#

How much ram do i nees

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 4:53 PM

#

Depends on what you're doing, but I'd recommend a minimum of 2 GB

#

More is good

#

For the CPU, a CPUmark of at least 1,000, but again, more is good

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

Laptop is better than pi4?

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

Mostly, yes

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

thorny mesa For the CPU, a _CPUmark_ of at least 1,000, but again, more is good

@zenith hare When using Discord's Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, which can get frustrating for the target. Use Shift + click on the Reply option, or click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.

You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).

Also... you don't have to tag me, I'm here, demanding my attention is ... a bit rude

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

Oh sorry didn’t mean that

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

Intel Core i5-3230M, 8 GB of RAM

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

Thankk you 😄

#

I found core i5 3320m with 4gb ram and 128ssd

#

Its a lenovo thinkpad. T430. Should be ok right

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 5:11 PM

#

Should at least get you started

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 5:12 PM

#

Nice nice 😄 my house has 4 floor so i should have a router at each floor right

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 5:14 PM

#

Or buy a network connected coordinator and put it on one of the middle two floors

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

What is a goood network device?

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

#

Particularly Tube's

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

Thank you but they dont sell it in my country:(

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

So?

#

You do realise you can import stuff?

#

I've bought almost none of my smart devices in-country

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

Take ages for ali express to ship over but i guess i can start without the network first 😄

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

So... you get to wait while saving money

#

It's not like you're doing to die while waiting the extra few weeks it takes tongue_out_winking_eye

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

Hahaha goood point

#

I found the network with CC2652P + CP2102N chip

#

Already installed Firmware Zigbee2MQTT Z-Stack 3.x.0.

#

Should be ok right

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

Yup, but when you get it, update the firmware to the latest release

#

As of today the dev branch is recommended

#

That may not be the case when your device arrives though shrug

zenith hare Dec 4, 2022, 5:40 PM

#

Ahh i seee that should be ok

#

Can i use google voice assistant with Ha?

thorny mesa Dec 4, 2022, 5:56 PM
