Hi All,
Im very new to HA so take it easy on me.
Originally I just wanted to control a porch light and was going to install a shelly switch then came across HA and wonder if I can add all my other equipment too it and what it might be useful for.
I have a nest thermostat
A ring doorbell
Hikvision CCTV
Pyronix Alarm
Are shellys ok? And which raspberry pi would be ok to run HA?
Shelly - yes, but the tiny Gen 3 devices are not yet supported.
Hikvision CCTV - yes. I used to use the generic camera integration for this. You might be able to stream now too.
I have no experience with the other devices. You can search here: Integrations - Home Assistant and use Google search for third party integrations to connect your device e.g. “Home Assistant Pyronix Alarm”.
