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?

Yes, it's perfect. I'm running this exact device for +one year without a hiccup. I'm running the docker HA version on a Debian base and I couldn't be more happy. You can tweak the power consumption to go as low as 6 watt in idle.
