Hi,
I’m new to HA and looking to buy some hardware to run HA. I’ve read a lot of articles and seen a lot of configurations but it’s not getting clear.
The machine will be only running HA because of various reasons.(2 Synology NAS that are not Dockerr capable, a Minecraft server running on an other machine,…)
What are the minimal specs for such a machine. Is there a difference between Celeron and i3/i5 machines regarding possibilities / extensions / compability… ? Or is it just speed?
I also want to do something similar at my parents house and they don’t need other applications running on it.
I’m already doing some ‘smart’ stuff through IFTTT, Tahoma Box but want more integration with the digital energy with P1 I will get, my solar installation, heatpump that will be installed as hybrid system with my current heating with natural gas, dish-washer, washing machine and dryer,…
I did found some refurbished mini PC <150€ like one

Are there reasons not to buy a refurbished one?
Thanks in advance!
