Loving your videos, just started purchasing items for my HA..located in UK and not found video that explains as good as your does, will keep searching as need more input..cheers
Can I connect my aqara hub to this ha usb stick?
“use an SSD if you use a Raspberry Pi”
1) why?
2) this will draw 3-10 watts from the usb port of the Pi if you don’t power the SSD separately, which could cause stress or failure of the power rail on the Pi.
I think this statement deserved some explanation.
