hi:)
i want to start using HA, i have x2 Rpi 2 that have been redundant since i moved away from openelec kodi builds.
i want to start using the hardware i have to make sure its something i’m capable of using etc before either investing in a newer Rpi or maybe using a docker or vm on my unraid server.
i’ve ordered the hardware shown in the zigbeemqtt wiki from aliexpress, plan is to use that to connect to a few xiaomi sensors that i’ve also ordered, and to integrate the philips hue, tradfri and tp link smart items i already have into HA.
in the zigbeemqtt wiki it says you can either install it on an rpi or use the zigbeemqtt addon in HASSIO, as i’m using a lower powered Rpi for the HASSIO install should i be looking to run the zigbeemqtt on a seperate Rpi (as i have another available), or is this just complicating matters with no real benefit?
any other advice/info on what i’m proposing is greatly appreciated, i’m a novice in all linux/coding but pick things up relatively quickly when reading up.
thanks in advance:)
