“"Just Works (TM)"
I used to get HA on a shared machine, having this dedicated hardware for it, with fully managed OS, will hopefully improve reliability.”
“I’m new to this and it’s quite easy to a point.. it doesn’t like arlo security cameras or cheap app cctv cameras non. Onvif? Adding HACs doesn’t feel intuitive, it doesn’t supply a list of every WiFi device so you can add it Samsung white goods
/ devices meh apple older devices meh LG meh Amazon devices. So try it, it’s good but not great for non IT guys...like me”
“Easy to set-up. Integrated several Tapo bulbs and plugs using Matter. Also various Ring cameras and a doorbell. Motion at the doorbell at night turns on various lights at different times. Even got my Sonos speaker playing BigBen chimes on the hour. Great fun, but I do like messing around with technology even though I'm 70!”
“Delighted with HA Green. It’s my first foray into HA-based automation but gratifyingly accessible, reliable and value for money. I’m really enjoying using it daily.
It arrived quickly, was plug and play and within a couple of hours I had a dozen automations running throughout the house including:
- text to speech announcements on Sonos
- door open alerts including integration with Twilio to send me and my family WhatsApp messages
- automated reminders to the kids to empty the dishwasher once it’s finished running
- a Zigbee-based party button which kills the lights, switches on a glitterball and blasts some tunes!”
“Cracking product. Had to reset it before I could connect but all worked in the end.
Note, worth ensuring this is in the same subnet as your Iot devices as some devices struggled to work in a different subnet.”
