ホームアシスタントグリーン。

I was a little overwhelmed when I first setup my Home Assistant green. It becomes obvious pretty quickly at how truly powerful this device is. It can be simple and basic if thats what you want. But if you are curious and willing to invest the time, the power at your fingertips will blow your mind. I started with a basic dashboard that displayed the few smart devices that I had, but soon I was diving headfirst into customizing the information that is shown and learning how to make it work with Alexa. Fast forward a year and I now have over 60 devices that is under its control. It works flawlessly and soon you will be installing Hacs and adding integrations that make it work for you. The customization is only limited by your imagination and I find myself tinkering with it daily. It's not work but more of a guilty pleasure. If you pull the trigger and purchase the Home Assistant green you will not regret it!

After years of relying on Alexa for basic smart home control, I wanted something more capable - better integrations, real automation, and full control over my setup. Home Assistant delivers all of that and then some. It’s incredibly powerful (more than I expected), with a huge range of tools and customisation options - including raw configuration and advanced editors. I can see why some people say you need a degree to use it. I’m fairly technical, but still needed some help from ChatGPT to set up certain integrations and write custom configurations. Important: Make sure your Home Assistant Green is running Home Assistant OS, not Home Assistant Container. Mine arrived with Container, which is a stripped-back version intended for advanced users running Docker. It lacks add-on support and makes setup more complex. Home Assistant OS provides the full experience, including access to add-ons and much easier management. Since the Green is designed for HA OS, it’s a bit odd that mine came with Container. Fortunately, Home Assistant OS was very easy to install via a microSD card loaded with the correct package. The "Green" hardware itself is excellent - completely silent and runs very smoothly One of the biggest advantages is device integration and centralised management. I’ve been able to bring everything together in one place, including lighting, smart plugs, and even my Annke IP cameras (using Hikvision integration). Having everything unified in a single system makes automation far more useful than managing devices separately across different apps. The one integration I had some difficulty with was Eufy. I’m using the E340 video doorbell on battery power, which means you can’t leave the stream running continuously without draining it. To work around this, I manually call the camera.turn_on and camera.turn_off services so the camera only activates when needed. It works well once set up, but it’s something to be aware of if you’re using battery-powered devices. The only caveat is that remote access and voice assistant integration typically require a Home Assistant Cloud subscription. However, if you’re willing to invest some time, there are free alternatives. I set mine up using Cloudflare and a custom Alexa skill, so the only ongoing cost is a domain (around £8/year). I was initially planning to use Cloudflare Zero Trust option for additional protection, but it breaks too many Home Assistant integrations. Fortunately, Home Assistant has robust MFA built in. It’s been a learning curve, but absolutely worth it.

Excellent product as described!

Ho acquistato Home Assistant Green per rendere la mia casa davvero smart senza dipendere troppo da cloud esterni o app frammentate, e dopo diversi giorni di utilizzo posso dire che è uno dei migliori hub domotici per chi vuole una smart home seria, stabile e personalizzabile. Prime impressioni Il dispositivo arriva già pronto all’uso: lo colleghi via alimentazione ed ethernet, apri l’app e in pochi minuti hai il sistema operativo configurato. Questo è uno dei suoi punti di forza principali: è molto più semplice rispetto a installare Home Assistant su Raspberry o mini PC. L’interfaccia è pulita, moderna e molto più intuitiva di quanto pensassi. Rileva velocemente dispositivi compatibili in rete e permette di creare automazioni molto avanzate anche senza essere programmatori esperti. Pro ✅ Installazione semplice e veloce ✅ Ottimo per centralizzare tutta la domotica ✅ Molto stabile ✅ Privacy superiore ai classici hub ✅ Enorme compatibilità ✅ Perfetto per automazioni avanzate Contro ❌ Non è completamente plug & play ❌ Serve ethernet ❌ Zigbee e Thread non inclusi nativamente ❌ Richiede tempo per essere sfruttato bene Conclusione Home Assistant Green è probabilmente il miglior hub domotico per chi vuole una smart home seria, privata e molto più potente rispetto ai classici ecosistemi consumer. Non è il classico dispositivo “collega e dimentica”, ma se vuoi controllo totale, automazioni avanzate e una casa smart davvero intelligente, è un acquisto eccellente. Voto finale: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4,7/5) Consigliato a chi vuole fare un salto di qualità nella domotica, soprattutto se arriva da Alexa o Google Home e vuole qualcosa di molto più evoluto.

Conforme à la description, look plutôt sympa et l’implémentation de smart home est aussi paramétable que la version logicielle. BAckup prévu, mise en route rapide. Détecte facilement les appareils matter (prises, multiprises) et affiche bien les consommations énergétiques (si le matériel interfacé le fait) mois j’ai interfacé avec Merros et aucun soucis…
