YASQ (Yet Another Server Question)
There are many existing threads discussing the selection of server hardware. Here are a few examples. Although Intel invented the acronym NUC (Next Unit of Computing) the form-factor has been adopted by other manufacturers. Basically, it’s a motherboard with an energy-efficient Intel CPU and a compact footprint. FWIW, I use an old netbook.
I’ve been dithering for too long, it is time to take action!
I want a NUC but the choice is a little overwhelming. What aspects of the hardware are likely to have the most impact on HA?
e.g.
Memory (amount and type)
Processor speed
Number of cores
… anything else?
Alternatively what model do you have and do you have any real-world experience you can offer?
e.g.
HA start up speed
Lovelace responsiveness
… anything else?
Thanks
Hi! Home assistant is getting more that some fun thing for me. I am going to leave second system alone at my parents house, So I need it to be solid stable. Here is what I have:
7 z-wave devices
22 xiaomi/aqara devices
Around 700 strings of automation
Couple cameras (only mpeg on HA)
Weather, launch info, some small things
Two small add ons (samba, nut)

Home Assistant seems to be just fine, as processor usage is on 1-3% (30% on reboot). Memory is on 20% (16 gb card). But I am a bit wor…
Hello,
I’ve been playing around with the ras pi for a bit. I’m not having any issues with it but I would like to upgrade it to a NUC. I’ve read that the NUC is a little faster .
Any recommendations on a NUC that isn’t too expensive but one that I would see a significant speed increase?
Thanks
The short story is my PI was damaged last weekend and I have a new one on the way that will be here tonight or tomorrow. But I know that is a short term solution and want something like a NUC.
Those of you who have done this already- Did you go with a low end cpu ie (J3455) to run just hass.io or did you go with something more $$$ with an I5 and run everything under a vm (like esxi?)
Just spend a ton on the house and could go low end now or wait a bit and go with I5 or the like. If you are ru…
