  • must not add insane amounts of cost to my power bill
  • Has to be upgradable if I need to add upgrades to the hardware in the future
  • Has a speaker
  • may want to possibly also set up node red but it depends on if I need it or not because I may just be fine with home assistants automation
  • has to have wireless connectivity
  • mainly setting this up to add automation around my reolink cameras linked through the reolink home hub for example getting a second camera in the same area to start recording when one detects motion or link other smart home security products like sirens or floodlights

I love the Dell micros.

8th gen i5s, 6 cores, very low energy usage and holds 64gb RAM. 2.5gbe for another ten bucks and i think they cost me 115 each in a lot of 5. Picked the nicest three and resold the other two. Leftover 250gb ssd for os and a 1tb nvme for localdisk. Proxmox backup server on one as well.

EDIT: I'm running proxmox with a Home Assistant VM and USB hardware passed through to clarify.
