Someone asked me for help getting into Home Assistant so I went searching for a page on https://www.home-assistant.io/ that lists all the official hardware like Home Assistant Green, Voice Assistant PE, the zigbee stick, etc but I couldn't find an official 1st party hardware overview page.

How should new users discover what official hardware is for sale, learn about those products, and make a purchase that will support the project?

Home Assistant

Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server.

The hardware if that's what you are looking for is Nabu-Casa.
Home Assistant is the Software. Open Home Foundation is the 'company' that umbrella's them those both.

the products tend to be mentioned in the documentation when people are looking for solutions to specific issues. if there was a big list on the front page it would give the impression of "oh i need to buy all these things to have a proper setup" which is just not true

Agreed that users shouldn't be driven to buy things they don't need.

To restate the angle I came at this from, I've been an HA user for quite some time, I read the official blog posts etc. I'm aware that HA Green/Yellow/Blue exist and some are no longer in production but I don't know the full comparison between them, what's still available, etc.

I want to drive my Brother In Law to buy one of the official compute devices to commercially support the project but I was suprised to not fine a store page, or a listing page of the official hardware with links to reccomended vendors.

I'd like to reccomend the official hardware to drive dollars to the project but I've hard a hard time discovering what's for sale

I think my link is the hardware companies homepage.

I see now there is a paragraph for "Official Home Assistant hardware" below the fold on the Nabu-Casas website.

I was just surprised not to find a link to a full page of that hardware on https://www.home-assistant.io/ , nor any search results for "Home Assistant official hardware" to drive me there.

I'm a huge fan of HA/Nabu-Casa and the projects resistance to over commercialization.

I guess my direct feedback is that I would love to drive a few dollars to the project but the current SEO and site organization did not make it easy to do that.

There is a link on the bottom of the webpage for suggestions like that that will reach the marketing team I believe.
