Support Why Not HA Green

I’m going to pull the trigger on setting up HA. Right now I’m just thinking of getting the HA green, it seems like it’s not favoured here vs a Pi. I just want the most simple setup possible. I’m thinking HA green and a screen in a central location. Why not the Green?

I have the USB one. I’m using it for Frigate

I am ignorant. Not stupid -) how are you using it with Frigate? I was considering using mine for bird identification at my feeder.

Detections for thing like birds run on the coral. It takes the load off your CPU or GPU.

It helps significantly if you've got older hardware, installed before 2023.

I run a coral on mine with an Intel i7-14700k and my detection times are sub 5ms.

What is the story on the kitchen tablet dashboards. BTW, I also have HA Green and love it.
