Hi
I have moved my Plex and Channels DVR server Apps to a dedicated M1 Mac mini, long story but dropped energy consumption from 3.6kW per day to 400w per day.
The M1 is not challenged at all and is running 24/7 on a UPS that will keep it going for a very very long time.
So thought it would be worth looking put Home Assistant on it and investigate if I could use HA as my daily driver.
I have 80+ wave devices, two Hue Hubs with ~100 light bulbs/motion sensors split between them, and another ~30 Zigbee sensors.
Currently I have a controller driving the 10 Eurotronic zwave TRVs and 10 Secure SRT zwave thermostats Plus a zwave two channel Boiler controller Secure SR302 (if I remember correctly)
Looking at HA will handle everything I need and more.
The challenge for me is getting HA running on the Mac M1.
I have been reading through the documentation and a friend who is using HA does so on Docker.
What is the most straightforward / easy way to get HA installed on my Mac M1 and take advantage of all the cpu/gpu/fast SSD and spare bandwidth available 24/7 ?
