Is the Intel NUC7CJYH still a good option? My Lenovo T520 Bios is giving me the dreaded 30 minute shut down thanks to Intel ME protection and after a week of trying everything I am thinking it is time for a change. If I can grab a NUC7CJYH for around $90 maybe it is a better option than an old lapto…

As long as you don’t want to do object detection in high res CCTV streams with something like Frigate it will be fine. That’s a similar spec to my old setup.

I was using Wyze Bridge add-on for 8 Wyze cameras on my Lenovo T520, and I did just order 4 Tapo C120 2K cams and 2 Tapo 2K C210s to start replacing the Wyze cams. The C120s have built-in local AI for detection so I think I will be ok? Will I be able to use my HAos backups to get back up and runni…

You’ll be using snapshots in a VM based setup, its easier to restore… keep in mind that 2fa breaks when you restore a snapshot at least it does for me (make sure you have your companion app always signed in to reset the 2fa if you use it). I rotate my snapshots in virtualbox as I make changes I int…

So my current backups won’t be of use I take it? The 2fa you mention is for the Wyze?

2fa for the home assistant install when you restore, just something to keep in mind. You can test a restore from latest backup and configure from there if it works (why we test via non primary instances just to validate a backup works) or you can rebuild fresh if you have issues then make a snapsho…

This is an excellent guide to installing HA under Proxmox if you want to go that route. It’s been an excellent choice for me. [image] Installing Home Assistant OS using Proxmox 8 Community Guides Installing Home Assistant OS using Proxmox 8 (Previously Install…

I also run HA on Intel NUC i7 skull canyon. Total overkill, i admit, but i just love the speed of esphome compiling, and i tinker quite a lot with esphome. I used to have HA inside VM on synology for quite a while, but, as said, speed was the main factor to switch to nuc. Restart is also waaay faste…

From Blog post First, why would you run Home Assistant OS as a VM on Proxmox VE 8? Well, Home Assistant is typically not very resource hungry and even old mini-PCs from several years ago would have a lot of left over computing resources that you can run other services. Running Proxmox VE, which is …

[image] Akore: being able to do a whole HAOS VM snapshot at the hypervisor level can be great for roll-back from failed upgrades or “oh crap” mistakes. This is exactly why I went the virtualbox vm path with my instance, having that way to restore when its needed after breaking something is ju…

Intel NUC7CJYH still viable?
