For those curious about optimizing their smart home, I've adjusted my recommendation: budget-friendly mini pcs on Amazon are now a perfectly good option for running home assistant. This video explores why these mini pcs are a viable alternative to the more traditional raspberry pi for your home assistant setup. I also demonstrate how to transfer your existing home assistant configurations from one machine to another, streamlining your automation efforts. # Products mentioned in the video KUYIA 8GB MiniPC: https://amzn.to/48TG4bp Beelink 8GB MiniPC: https://amzn.to/4tp8G3K Beelink 16GB MiniPC: https://amzn.to/4ddFWF0 # Chapters 00:00 The problem today 01:26 My challenge 02:33 First impressions 03:47 Transferring Home assistant to another computer 06:25 Does everything still work? 07:32 My final conclusion 09:47 Outro --- # My links: My website: https://www.foxyslab.com My blog: https://foxleigh.me Discord: https://discord.gg/tPdaADbM2N Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/foxyslab LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexfoxleigh/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/foxleigh81 GitHub: https://github.com/foxleigh81 # Gear + stuff I use My studio kit, homelab builds and recommended gear are listed here: https://www.foxyslab.com/resources # Support the channel If you like my videos and want to help me keep making more of them, Patreon is the best way.
