    If all you want is HA, it’s perfectly fine to run on a RPi.

    But personally I’ve grown to host about a dozen other services so the additional compute power, storage and memory is important.

      I actually have a server for my other needs and HA Green. Mostly since I want to run the mission critical stuff for my home on a different machine, this way if something were to go wrong with my home server it’d still keep working.

      I should add that bigger esphome projects (with custom components) take up to 5 minutes to compile. But that honestly isn’t too bad.
