Always run mine in a VM along with everything else, no need for special hardware.
Get yourself a PoE Zigbee and/or Z-wave receiver and you are good to go, can even live migrate HA if you are fancy
Comment on Is H9me Assistant recommended?
i_am_not_a_robot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day agoJust be careful with SD cards if you’re using SBCs. Home Assistant does a lot of writing and if your SD card can’t handle repeated writes you may suddenly lose everything. Keep backups to another device and have a replacement SD card ready if extended downtime is going to be a problem for you.

I run mine in a VM but have USB passthrough for the Zwave and zigbee sticks. I didn’t know there were POE coordinators. Do you have any you recommend? I use both zwave and zigbee

Booting from USB drives has worked well for me
