Host

My installation runs on a Home Assistant Blue device. Here are the core specs:

  • Processor - 6-Core Amlogic S922X Processor (ARMv8-A), Quad-core Cortex-A73 @ 2.2Ghz
  • Memory - 4GB DDR4
  • Storage - 128GB eMMC Flash included

I keep regularly updating it. The current versions are

  • Frontend: 20230802.0
  • Operating System : Version 10.4

Previous

I repurposed an old Mac Mini (circa 2014).

  • Dual-core Intel i5 (Haswell ULT), at 2.7 GHz
  • 4 GB RAM
  • 1 TB SSD (Samsung SSD 860 QVO)

It runs Proxmox VE, an open-source Virtualization Platform, on a skeletal Debian. The Home Assistant runs in a container, with no restrictions on CPU, Memory, or disk space utilization. Along with this I run WeeWx weather server on another.
