Sorry, I thought you were saying it was a pain to setup and run anything else, I disagreed with that. It is performance limited because it is a NAS after all, but still completely functional. I’ve never installed anything on one that it couldn’t handle, but perhaps someone else has. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I disagree. Docker containers are pretty easy to set up on it, though I admit that the small memory sucks in terms of performance.

Probably an *arr stack, nextcloud, and tailscale.

I’m working on a project involving home assistant, zigbee, and Google home. In a perfect world the doorbell would make all the Google homes chime. Not sure if it is going to work, but I know that I can simply hook up a Bluetooth speaker to the brains of it and it’ll work.

Materials

• ESP32-C6: https://a.co/d/011HRydn

Software

My home assistant will be a docker container. In order to make this work, I will be installing esphome on the esp32. I got an esp32 screen because it will also operate a self watering garden, but you don’t need to. It will need to be configured as a zigbee proxy for home assistant, but seems pretty straight forward.
