Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
After reading about Home Assistant in the How "Smart" is your home? thread, I was hoping some of you who are using it can give advice to those of us who might be interested. (Like, say, me!
)
I looked at the Home Assistant Getting Started page, and I'm having trouble deciding which to try. I can usually fumble my way through most repairs/upgrades that don't require soldering, and I have SSHed into my NAS and entered a few Linux commands, but those are really the very limits of my comfort level. I could handle those kinds of things during setup if that's the only time they were required.
So, any thoughts on where to start? Cost isn't a big factor, especially if it means a more robust, flexible solution.
