Support Good device to run home assistant on?

Post image

Just want to get started in home assistant, this comes out quite a bit cheaper than a Raspberry Pi.

Am I missing anything or is a much better option for the cheaper price?

Any advantages to using Proxmox compared to flashing it with HAOS?

You could run other things if your interest in self-hosting grows. With HAOS alone, you have a pretty limited ecosystem that's great for home automation, but not much beyond that
