Hi. I’m currently rebuilding my setup from scratch, moving away from my old Pi. What’s best practice these days? How would you do it? What cards are the best for the dashboard? How would you do presence detection (getting home), mqtt via ha, or stand alone?
Looking for good ideas, and possibly things to avoid.
TIA.


That’s exactly what I’m doing as well. Got my VM set up, HAOS installed and bluetooth up and running. Now I’m starting to add my stuff already in my house and I’m looking for good ways to do it. I’ve also added it to tailscale and can access it from my phone.
It’s SOOOO much faster than the Pi.
Maybe get some metrics going with Grafana, makes exploring your data much easier
Tried it a bit, didn’t get very far but will have a look again. Very good tool to have some knowledge about.
