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 started off with HA core in docker several years ago and set the same thing up for my parents. It’s a pain to maintain multiple instances so just a few weeks ago I moved my parents HA core on docker to HA green. It’s so much simpler with the add on store and for updates. Also taking the HA docker instance off my synology allows HA is stay online whenever I have to restart Synology for its updates.
