#Hi all I m considering to set up a H A
junior prawn
There's no best, just what you prefer
There is a worst though... that'd be Supervised 😛

Thank you @junior prawn 👍
What is not clear to me, to be honest, is if one of this choice will have limitation between each other.
I've seen online that I can do that via HassOs (VM) or Assistant Core (Container)
junior prawn
Container doesn't have add-ons
Add-ons are just a way of running software, they're not magic
zenith kindle
can you please give me some real-life example in order to understand better?
I'm sorry for this basic quetion but I'm looking into H.A. as first approach 🙂
junior prawn
Mosquitto
That's an MQTT broker
There's an add-on for those that use Home Assistant OS

that could be interesting for Sonoff and Shelly devices
junior prawn
For everybody else, including the billions of people who don't use HA at all, there's other ways of running Mosquitto
Add-ons are just software running in a container, with sprinkles for the Supervisor (HAOS)
There's pretty much nothing that you can do with add-ons that you can't do yourself. The same isn't true the other way around.

so HassOS should be fine, what I got from a quick online research is that it should be also easier to install and run for a first timer like me
junior prawn
As I said, it's not about "best" and simply about what you prefer.
You can (mostly) switch install method later anyway

would go with the simple as possible as I'm new to this world 🙂
