Hey is it possible to run home assistant fanless on these SBC or not ?

hollow scarab
#

Yes

ruby vigil
# hollow scarab Yes

Sorry maybe I wasn’t very clear, the point was whether’I needed a box with fans or if I could just plugin as is, I wondered if Ha made the SBC heat up a lot ?

hollow scarab
#

I mean, that depends on what you do with HA

#

For a minimal install, not doing anything fancy, you'll be ok. If you're doing anything intensive then an SBC will struggle to cope

#

Well... if you're not then you can just relocate HA to new hardware - lots of us have done that

Then don't buy an SBC

@ruby vigil 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).

I'm in the thread, I can see when you reply, there's no need to keep tagging me 😉

ruby vigil
#

Yeah sorry it’s just that am used to answer that way on discord it’s not really a matter of pinging the user for me

If I get a pi 4 for around 50-60 bucks + the heat sink and case for around 20€ there’s no way anything else would beat the price if I don’t get a sbc, even if I buy second hand nuc or usff

hollow scarab
#

Right, so ... you've decided that price now is worth more to you than future proof

It runs fine on opi zero3 whit 2GB ram, 3d printer case + usb hat for extra ports. opi zero3 costs about 30eur whit shipping.

#

As others sad, one can migrate later.

hollow scarab
#

Fine for you, based on what you're asking it to do 😉

#

I started on a Pi3, I'm now on a Ryzen - there's no way in hell what I do now would work on an SBC

ornate cove
#

Nobody wil start whit that much load.

#

You might even drop this hobby quite soon.

one problem is finding a fan that is speed controlled and also keeps quiet when running at reduced speed. i can recommend a fan called HighPi Pro 5V. I replaced the fan in a pi 4 kit because it was too noisy.

that said - my HA setup runs on a pi4 4GB with only heatsinks. No fan. No problem so far. It boots from a 120GB SSD connected through a cheap chinese USB3 to sata cable, and that removed a lot of performance bottlenecks compared to a2 class sd card.

#

this setup has been running since the pi4 came out
