“The Home Assistant Green is a purpose-built device designed to run Home Assistant out of the box. It’s perfect for users who want to avoid the hassle of DIY setups and just get straight to automating their homes. Sold by The Pi Hut, it arrives pre-installed and ready to go, making it one of the most accessible entry points into smart home automation. ⚙️ Hardware & Performance • Processor: Quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.8 GHz – snappy and efficient. • Memory: 4 GB RAM – plenty for most home automation tasks. • Storage: 32 GB eMMC – faster and more reliable than SD cards. • Power: Runs on just 3 watts – extremely energy-efficient. • Cooling: Passive heat sink base – no fan noise, no moving parts. 🔌 Connectivity & Expansion • Ethernet port for stable network connection. • HDMI & microSD slot (for recovery only). • Optional CR2032 battery for RTC (real-time clock) support. • USB ports for Zigbee/Z-Wave dongles (not included). 🧠 Software Experience • Comes with Home Assistant OS pre-installed. • Supports Supervisor mode, which is now the recommended install method. • Seamless integration with Nabu Casa for remote access and voice assistant support. • Compatible with Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, and more via add-ons and integrations. 👍 Pros • Plug-and-play simplicity – ideal for beginners. • Quiet, compact, and low power consumption. • No need to worry about compatibility or updates. • Excellent value compared to building a Raspberry Pi setup from scratch. 👎 Cons • Doesn’t include Zigbee/Z-Wave radios – you’ll need to add your own USB dongles. • Limited to Home Assistant use – not a general-purpose computer. • HDMI and microSD ports are only for recovery, not everyday use. 🗣️ Community Feedback Users transitioning from platforms like SmartThings or Hubitat have praised the Green for its ease of migration and stability. Many report smooth performance even with complex automations and multiple integrations. 🏁 Final Verdict If you're looking for a dedicated, hassle-free Home Assistant hub, the Home Assistant Green from The Pi Hut is a fantastic choice. It’s affordable, efficient, and built specifically for the job. Whether you're just starting out or migrating from another platform, this device makes smart home automation feel effortless.”

“PiHut is great. Love the support for the tinkering community. The only thing I would like to see is a “free delivery” option that had a delivery time of something like 7 days instead of next day only for UK mainland.”

“Order placed on the 11th September, and I paid for standard delivery as I don't buy into this whole childish McDonald's/Amazon/etc thing where I want it right here, right now. I can wait, but it would appear that everyone else can't and my order turned up on the 12th.”

“Bought a Touch Display 2 with a frame. Took at bit of trial and error to work out how to assemble the frame and display in the best orientation adn with cables tucked away. It would be useful if there was a RPi cover linked to these items as the RPi just bolts on loosley with now protection. Otherwise, all good.”
