[Big thanks to developers!] HA on Raspberry PI3A+ with latest version perfectly stable as it was never in the past!

I want to say a big thanks to all HA developers that - with latest HA versions - made my “poor” Raspberry PI3A+ (which trough the latest 2 years was suffering of many spontaneous reboot) perfectly stable as it was never in the past!
Now it runs without any issue and smoothly for days and days without reboot/hangs.
I have HA running on PI3A+ from about 2 years now…
Thanks a lot

These are my current versions

  • Core 2024.2.1
  • Supervisor 2024.01.1
  • Operating System 11.5
  • Frontend 20240207.1

Thank you for posting this. Developers need to hear that there’s still value in supporting the RPi platform. As much as we love to do our development on the newest and fastest hardware, that’s not where most of the user base is.

Thanks to you… and all the other developers!
I think there is a lot of value on supporting RPI (and I hope it will continue in the future) … as it is a perfect low power consuming HW for standard setup.
That’s the proof that when a SW is done in the right way, it doesn’t need exagerated computing (and electrical) power to run properly.

Unfortunatelly it is happening again a frequent reboot and it seems it’s caused by core_mosquitto…
I already had in the past this feeling (that core mosquitt was the cause of reboot) but then with latest updates it did not create any problem…
Now it started again…

And now … again… perfectly stable (no reboot from at least 24 hours) after the latest Core update to 2024.3!!

At every update there could be improvements… or problems…

Now it’s absolutely fine!! I hope it will continue like this
