Looking for device for Home Assistant (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a device to install Home Assistant on to manage a smart thermostat, a programmable light bulb (on and off), and another lamp in my house. Since I'll be doing other work in the future, I want to use Home Assistant to be ready for the future.

That said, I'm looking for a device (a Mini PC, a Pi, etc.) that consumes very little power, as I'll be using it exclusively for this purpose. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

I used to run it on a pi. I got a nuc 11 a while back so I could upgrade the ram/storage. But never had a real issue with either.

Home assistant also makes the green and yellow.. I don't have them, but they don't seem to consume much energy.

    They don’t make the yellow anymore, the green is good from what I hear though if you are just looking for home assistant and don’t expect to add a bunch of other apps to it (z2mqtt, node-red, etc.).
