I think the beauty of home assistant is that if everything is working, why worry.
Some of the updates are great though. I'm quite new to home assistant so I'm eagerly always playing with the new stuff, but soon I'll just throw my Raspberry Pi in a dark corner and forget to update it for months at a time.
I went to try to add assistant support this weekend, my pi is not supported (64bit arch only), I very understand.
I'm running it on my Raspberry Pi 5, which is Arm 64. Perhaps try via Docker?
Right, I'm on a 3b 32-bit install.
There's definitely support for your device: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi
Thanks, I saw that, but I think I'm using the opportunity to upgrade to a nuc-like machine
Nice! Share what you get when you get it.
Currently leaning towards the Lenovo m710q or m910q, both under 150 at microcenter (6th Gen i5 6500t). It's overkill, but it's small. I have to put my hands on it before making the purchase though, make sure the refurb models they have the io I want
Just the other week, I asked for some advice on one of those for use as a low powered PC. Good choice.
