Hi everyone! 😊

I’m trying to surprise my husband with a mini pc for his Home Assistant setup. He’s using a Synology machine now but has mentioned raspberry pie.

I’ve been reading Reddit but honestly, most of it is way over my head 😅

He automated all our lights, curtain, camera, and I guess other stuff? I feel he automated too much though and am afraid nothing will work anymore once internet goes out…

What would you buy if you were me? Appreciate the help! 🙏
