Hello people iam gonna try HA again.
I have it it now on mine sinology 720+ nas in a virtual machine.
But it doesn’t work that in mine opinion
But I wanted to do it different this time.
And now I don’t know what I buy
First I thought on RB yellow and there is a RB5 but I also read about a nut.
I wanna have everything on it Zigbee and more.
But i dunno wanna a lot of usb sticks to get it work properly.
So what is the best solution and if you say take a nut then please with one.
Hi Bart, the answer to your question will be different for everyone who steps in.
Sorry to say so: your English can be hard to decipher so I would advise you to use a translator to make yourself more understandable (i.e. deepl.com)
I guess you mean a HA yellow, a RPi5 (Raspberry Pi) and a NUC
It really all depends on what you want to run on it, if you are looking to buy a new device or 2nd hand.
Have a look in the hardware and installation section for recent/similar topics.
Personally I would then suggest at least trying to connect that via a very long shielded USB 2.0 extension cable (that part is important) to Home Assistant Operating System running in a virtual machine (VM) on your Synology 720+ NAS properly configuration for a USB 2.0 port to be used used as a USB pass-through to the VM → Noob - zigbee ZHA vs zigbee2mqtt - #15 by Hedda
If you get that working than you can later migrate to a different computer later if that is want you want.
If want an easier setup then just buy the official “Home Assistant Green” + a “SkyConnect” USB dongle:
Regardless, do more research and read these community guides before buying any Zigbee devices:
Bart, AFAIK (as far as I know) the yellow can only use a CM4 (Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module)
If you want to use the power of the newer RPi 5, you have to go for a public shop/seller.
My fellow HA user already linked to the HA Green.
Regarding the number of USB sticks: if you want to control your devices wireless you have different options, depending on the technology.
I mainly use zigbee, so 1 USB coordinator, a few WiFi devices (which work with my existing WiFi network, so no extra hardware) and a few wired devices.
