Having recently done this myself, I might add:

• If your bathrooms don't have exhaust ventilation or if the duct size is too small, redo it
• Any pipes or ducting in the attic should be properly insulated
• Interconnected smoke alarms
• Passing network/speaker wire in strategic areas of the house for access points, cameras or speakers

My solution is to have a mini PC in a remote location which boots at a given time each day (BIOS option using RTC Clock). It autoconnects via Wireguard VPN to my home network. I have rest-server running in a container.

Locally, I have a cron job for restic backups to the remote rest-server, followed by an ssh command to update and power off.

Has been solid so far!

In Home Assistant, navigate to Settings > System > Backups. Configure the backup settings and create a manual backup.

On your new Proxmox server, you can download the qcow2 file from Home Assistant's website and run it as a virtual machine.

On first boot, you can import your previous configuration from a backup.

You're right, but I believe what the commenter meant was "Perfect is the enemy of Good".

I never watched Parks & Rec, only knew of Offerman from the memes. I was also surprised to learn he was progressive. On an unrelated note, his role in HBO's The Last of Us was great!
