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

candid gust
#

Intel NUC quite good

thorny mesa
#

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

zenith hare
#

How much power does its draw?

thorny mesa
#

A little more than a Pi4 draws

zenith hare
#

Oh thats not too bad πŸ™‚

#

Is 200$ old laptop considered cheap :))

#

How much ram do i nees

thorny mesa
#

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
#

Laptop is better than pi4?

thorny mesa
#

Mostly, yes

@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
#

Oh sorry didn’t mean that

thorny mesa
#

Intel Core i5-3230M, 8 GB of RAM

zenith hare
#

Thankk you πŸ˜„

#

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

#

Its a lenovo thinkpad. T430. Should be ok right

thorny mesa
#

Should at least get you started

zenith hare
#

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

thorny mesa
#

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

zenith hare
#

What is a goood network device?

thorny mesa
#

Particularly Tube's

zenith hare
#

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

thorny mesa
#

So?

#

You do realise you can import stuff?

#

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

zenith hare
#

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

thorny mesa
#

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
#

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
#

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
#

Ahh i seee that should be ok

#

Can i use google voice assistant with Ha?

thorny mesa
#

Did you ... try searching the integrations page?

zenith hare
#
