Is the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W good enough to run a Home Assistant Server. I would only use it for one room with a Couple of Smart Home Products. If not can yall recommend another device for a low price in the range of 20 to 40€ . Thank you!
#Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W good enough for Home Assistant?

Not really. A pi 3 with 1gb of memory is not even recommended, so that with half that will be very unhappy.

What would you recommend tho?

Running HA for only 1 room is an odd choice.
I would see maybe a pi3 for just a couple of devices would work.
Just make sure you understand HA is intended to run the whole house 1 server. Making sure you don't think you need a server for each room.
Id this is a test case or tiny project fine.

Just as a fun project, I also wanna setup a panel for controlling the whole room

Would this also work if I make the rest of the house smart in the future?

For any type of future proofing, I don't believe I would start with less than a pi4 4GB. If you're just wanting to play with the project, I'd recommend Linux on an old laptop and avoid the upfront cost altogether, until you have a better idea of what you want to accomplish, long term.

Would you recommend the Pi4 4gb for now and bigger future projects tho? I am playing with the thought of getting one

For the price, get a mini pc. I upgraded from a pi4 and certainly won’t go back. Sooo much faster

Here's some of my reasons why not to get a pi: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/6ee130240bdc6a7fed2d5224616544a0

Impact's link nails it imo. I run HA in a k3s cluster of pi4's. It was a tremendously fun project, my end goal coming away with some knowledge of kubernetes end to end. If I had it to do over again I'd build it using N100 based SBC's or whatever was cheap on ebay. Unless the pricing changes considerably in the coming years I don't see myself purchasing another ARM based SBC.
