I actually have a server for my other needs and HA Green. Mostly since I want to run the mission critical stuff for my home on a different machine, this way if something were to go wrong with my home server it’d still keep working.
I should add that bigger esphome projects (with custom components) take up to 5 minutes to compile. But that honestly isn’t too bad.
I totally understand mission critical motivations, but I reached a different conclusion from you. I’ve been HA’ing for a long time and everything dies eventually.
Do you have a backup HA green in the cupboard? my wife would murder me if I couldn’t get the house back in 24 hours. I want to use hardware that you can buy literally anywhere so I don’t need to keep a backup.
I’m not there yet, but I havve moved to running HA on a proxmox server and have used my HA backup to recover from a software failure. I’m now thinking about what the same would look like for a hardware failure, either the mini pc or the zigbee dongle.
