I purchased a home assistant yellow and my experience was anything but “ready to use”.
You have to build the damn thing, which isn’t hard per se since it’s ultimately only 3 actual components, but it still took me some time and felt complicated since it involves attaching a heat sink with thermal compound on a CPU.
And then the software install process isn’t totally amazing either since it involves flashing a USB stick, but also needing to choose a few very non-obvious options.
Should I install HA on the EMMC and later move my data-disk to the nVME drive or install the OS on the nVME drive directly? Google random forums to find out what people think of this decision first I guess.
I mean I think it’s still a good product, don’t get me wrong, but it is still very much a power user thing.
Which is probably fine because setting up HA itself when you have an install isn’t exactly a picnic either.
