Home Assistant Green has long been a great choice as adequate hardware for Home Assistant. However, due to the AI ​​boom and chip shortage, it has quickly and dramatically increased in price. The modified box from HomeBrainz is a great alternative for half the cost.

Smart homes are evolving rapidly, bringing new technologies that elevate user experiences to the next level. One of the latest innovations is the SMLIGHT SLZB-06 Zigbee coordinator, offering advanced features, including the ability to function as a standalone Zigbee Hub.
