HomeAssistant for the win! Not everything needs to be connected but for those things I would like to control I want CONTROL. So only my server (not even the nubucasa servers) control it!

    Big difference between "smart home stuff" and stuff compatible with home assistant. You host home assistant yourself on your own hardware and everything is connected in one interface. You only need one app, or one webpage. No shady actors get access to your home, you control everything.

    I want/need to switch over from Google home to home assistant . So, how difficult would it be to migrate over? We mostly have smart plugs and a Google nest thermostat.

    Is a raspberry pi adequate for this, or do I need a mini pc?

    It will automatically adopt almost everything. A raspberry pi is ok, but I would recommend a PC depending on how many things you have.

    I run quite an extensive home assistant on a Pi. I think just grab whatever is economical, most cheap hardware will run it.
