Home assistant is too involved to set up… Proceeds to code a basic display that will need endless support. Home assistant can run on a pi and is actually decently lightweight. Just because behind the scenes it uses containers doesn’t make it complex and difficult to maintain. My home assistant hasn’t needed and babysitting and is my least involved support project. Upgrades are stable and one-click and you can use as little or as much of its functionality as you want without the sacrifice for performance.

Can echo this too, I was afraid my smart home would become a fulltime job. Home assistant has been one of the least problematic thing to support when doing upgrades. It's a great project.

> Home assistant can run on a pi and is actually decently lightweight. I've been running Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 2B for years with no complaints. It takes about 7 minutes to compile the firmware for a single ESPHome device which is a long time but it's hands off so it has no impact on me.
