Hello, I’m looking for a good gateway that can run HA? So what main factors will you guys consider when choosing the hardware? Chips, OS, Protocols, Power consumption, or more? Which gateways you are using?
If you mean computer instead of gateway then the answer is wide and varied. If you really mean gateway then there’s very few that are able to run HA at all (and it depends on what you mean by gateway too) - even less that can run add-ons (probably none).
There are many threads discussing this, and a search will find you a lot of suggestions and options. Most answers come down to one of:
- Pi3 (should be considered the least capable option)
- Pi4 + SSD (ok if you’re using a powered USB hub)
- Tiny PC from the last decade
