  • 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

Eh, RPI pushes you to use a microSD card which sucks in a few ways. They also aren’t all that cheap.

Used thin client is the way to go

    You can leave just the /boot partition in the SD and put the root fs in an external USB drive (SSD or mechanical).

    I’have a SIMH emulation farm running inside a Pi3 which has been up literally for years. Zero trouble.
