Hi,
currently I am using a Raspberry Pi4 running NodeRed, Kodi, PiHole and a Samba-Server with an external SSD. This setup works just fine and has enough power for everything I have done so far. Now I also want to implement Home Assistant to get a prettier Dashboard, since I don’t like the look of the NodeRed Dashboard. My first idea was to just install it on the same Raspberry Pi, but I think it gets to messy with all these things running on the same device. I don’t want to have too many devices, but I want to split it up to multiple devices and am not sure what makes the most sense.
I also have an unused Raspberry Pi 3B+, but I read multiple times, that it might not be powerful enough for Home Assistant in the long run - what is so demanding with HA?
How would you split up these systems? Have seprate devices for everything?
Or a separate NAS + one device for NodeRed/HomeAssistant + one device for Kodi/PiHole?
Or just one more powerful PC like an Intel NUC for everything?
