@hacksilon @foxbasealpha Yup, strongly recommend this approach as well. Raspberry Foundation have just announced a fresh round of price increases due to AI stupidity and the 8GB models are increasing by $50 ... I'd personally look on ebay or similar for an old #TinyMiniMicro device (https://www.servethehome.com/introducing-project-tinyminimicro-home-lab-revolution/) and run Home Assistant on that, either natively, or in a Proxmox VM (my personal solution).
