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.

    Yeah, my setup was pretty old. I was using a mix of yaml and NodeRed, but apparently my Pi was now too old for NodeRed so I had to update or migrate, so I went for a proxmox instead.

      I did similar recently! Proxmox has been amazing, I wish I did it sooner. It’s so nice being able to spin up as many containers/VMs as I like, and spread memory/CPU/disk as needed between various appliances. I’ve found Home Assistant a little snappier as well.
