Have just started to update myself on Home Assistant and installed Home Assistant on my NAS. My NAS is a computer running Fedora 25 with an Amahi Server.
I have installed Home Assistant with Hass.io. After some reading on the forums I found that I might be better of with Docker, so that’s my next project.
Today I have a Sonos system, a couple of Google Home devices and a Sensio system that I would like to integrate in the Home Assistant. But now I am looking for more “hardware” (Smartplugs, motion sensors, cameras and perhaps Zigbee server?). Can’t find a good tutorial about what I need, and what is recommended. Anyone have links to some good literature, or any tips to share?
Quite a newbee on the subject, so do I need a zigbee switch? Should I look for Zigbee equipment? Seems like a lot of the smart plugs are based on Z-wave or Wifi communication. Do I then need a switch for each protocol?
And do you have any favorite websites for equipment? Live in Norway, but are looking at both national and international websites
Do hope for you have some experiences to share.
