Is this decent for home assistant or do you recommend any other?

i generally recommend beelink stuff as i have had good experiences with them but this will probably be fine

[onyx sorrel]

I would not but that. You can't add a 2.5" SSD and the internal SSDs are SATA rather than NVMe. No one wants that.
Apparently it overheats and throttles quite a bit too.

So I need this?

[royal bear]

yes, that is indeed a great option

[royal laurel]

NVMe doesn't really matter for HASS, but yeah being able to add a 2.5" SSD is useful

[onyx sorrel]

No but why buy a device which uses that?

@royal bear This one has a 60,- discount at the moment (making it a total of 179,-) Just double checking with you, that’s the one you recommended a while ago if I’m correct?: https://www.amazon.nl/Beelink-MINI-S12-Lake-N100-Processor-16G/dp/B0BVB7JRJB
