Just out of interest, what main machine do you use? And which from several oficially supported options would you recommend as most future-proof in your opinion?
I used rpi 2-3 and now i’m on libre computer le potato board. My setup is small an without cameras, so i don’t need to much power. A couple of my friends runs everything on unraid machines. And they say it works great for them. So in the future i will probably go in that direction.

Let me add an example here which might be contradicting. I have HA on my android and installed OTG adapter and plugged in CC2531 and i am redirecting USB to serial port and use ZHA to access Zigbee dongle and everything seems to be working.
While you are right about using old phone, pi is a standardized solution but android is full of tricks/hacks. Yes, it is working as of today but I am dead scared in every update what will be broken.
Another post which was useful to me: Home Assistant Core on Android Tablet
Yes it seems if phone is rooted it can work with cc2531. But again, i’m afraid there is no future with termux. How to use on Android ( TV Boxes, phones via USB-OTG ) · Issue #1861 · Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt · GitHub
why do you think there is no future here? ZHA is working over TCP connection and I am using a python script to mirror serial port into TCP, all seems to be working. Actually, it is working better than Sonoff Zigbee Bridge in my experience 
on another topic, after I ugrade to home assistant 2021.6.3, i had issues with timezone, I fixed it via updating tzdata
pip install tzdata
I was having regular resolve.conf error in my logs as there was no file in /etc/resolve.conf. I had to mount system partition as root user and copy termux’s resolve.conf into etc, so it is silent now

This is from termux github.
We do not want to introduce the breaking changes to comply with Google's requirements. But as result Termux does not support Android 10 officially.*
And every next version of android will be even more restricted.
I see, so if we want to move forward with new android versions, we will lose termux support. I will try to hang around with my samsung a7 without updating and see how further i can reach thanks for great guide again

I have this running on LineageOS 18 on an old Samsung S5. Think we’ve hit the limit as over the weekend I updated homeassistant and various things broke. After quite a bit of trial and error, the most recent version I can get to work is 2021.7.4 as after that PyNaCl version 1.4.0 is required and the mobile_app integration breaks. Not sure if there is a workaround to get newer versions but to get 2021.7.4 working I changed:
pip install homeassistant
to
pip install pip==20.2.4
pip install wheel tzdata xmltodict pynacl==1.3.0 idna==2.8
pip install homeassistant==2021.7.4
Hello @vladosam
I have node-red installed with pm2 plus on android 6.0.
The pm2 ressurect command restores a saved node-red process and I can preview them on app.pm2.io.
How to start node-red with termux start now?
I tried something like this but it doesn’t work
You can add pm2 ressurect to bashrc.
nano ~/.bashrc
pm2 resurrect

If you are seeing a compilation error please try the following steps to
successfully install cryptography:
1) Upgrade to the latest pip and try again. This will fix errors for most
users. See: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#upgrading-pip
2) Read https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation.html for specific
instructions for your platform.
3) Check our frequently asked questions for more information:
https://cryptography.io/en/latest/faq.html
4) Ensure you have a recent Rust toolchain installed:
https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation.html#rust
5) If you are experiencing issues with Rust for *this release only* you may
set the environment variable `CRYPTOGRAPHY_DONT_BUILD_RUST=1`.
=============================DEBUG ASSISTANCE=============================
error: can’t find Rust compiler
If you are using an outdated pip version, it is possible a prebuilt wheel is available for this package but pip is not able to install from it. Installing from the wheel would avoid the need for a Rust compiler.
To update pip, run:
pip install --upgrade pip
and then retry package installation.
If you did intend to build this package from source, try installing a Rust compiler from your system package manager and ensure it is on the PATH during installation. Alternatively, rustup (available at https://rustup.rs) is the recommended way to download and update the Rust compiler toolchain.
This package requires Rust >=1.41.0.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for cryptography

You can try to set env variable
export CRYPTOGRAPHY_DONT_BUILD_RUST=1
But I really don’t recommend running homeassistant on termux anymore. Termux is a rolling release and its packages moves much faster than homeassistant. Also, termux won’t work as intended on newer versions of android.
if someone has some issue with pynacl==1.4.0
this works to me
pkg install clang python libffi openssl libsodium
SODIUM_INSTALL=system pip install pynacl
After serveral good years I reached the end of the road with HA on Termux. However I now have the latest version of HA running nicely on the same phone using Linux Deploy w/ Ubuntu. I flashed it with LineageOS 18.1 to get root. Now there is no concern about which packages are available, mosquitto and other things are already included in the image.
I started following a guide by Luca Cesarano, but once I had the image booted and could ssh in, I installed the latest HA using the instructions in the first post and finally copied my .homeassistant folder across. After the long first boot everything came to life.
I’m not ready to give up on my galaxy s7 just yet.

I’m working through the same problem now while I wait for a Raspberry Pi 4 to arrive 
To work around this issue, I did:
pkg install rust
export CARGO_BUILD_TARGET=aarch64-linux-android
pip install cryptography==35.0.0 # version pin to the one required by homeassistant as of Dec 13
The export line came from error: Don't know the correct rust target for system type aarch64-unknown-linux-android. Please set the CARGO_BUILD_TARGET environment variable · Issue #6679 · pyca/cryptography · GitHub
… I actually ended up just doing pip install cryptography to get the latest version, because 0.35.0 is not compatible with Python 3.10. Then I git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/home-assistant/core.git, cd to that dir, then vimed setup.py just to require plain pip and cryptography rather than their pinned variants. Then running python setup.py develop in that directory installed a version of hass that seems to work, other than it failing to install some dependencies itself when I first ran it (so I did pip install pyotp==2.6.0 PyQRCode==1.2.1 sqlalchemy==1.4.27 to bring in the ones it was looking for).

I tried to follow your advice.
But I’m stuck to the point:
pip install homeassistant
It gives me errors.
Can you help install?
Thank you!
What errors are you seeing?
