4 things I learned by turning a Raspberry Pi into a dedicated Home Assistant hub
I've been using my Raspberry Pi as a Home Assistant hub for months, and here are some lessons I learned along the way
As an old companion in my tinkering journey, my Raspberry Pi 5 had to bear the brunt of my DIY experiments, which have ranged from all-in-one productivity hubs to Docker containers running Windows. However, few projects can beat the synergy between Home Assistant and Raspberry Pi. The former is hands-down the best utility for managing the smart home devices and IoT paraphernalia in my apartment, while the latter’s low-energy consumption makes it an economical option for running services that require 24/7 uptime.
