This is my Home Assistant Configuration created with the All In One installer expanded to 16GB. I update it pretty regularly. ⭐ Home Assistant runs on my Raspberry Pi 3 with Aeon Labs Z Wave Stick (GEN 5). I've also added a 433Mhz Transmitter and receiver. The main SD Card was upgraded to 16GB. (Order 2! - 1 for backup) I use an SD Card reader to swap SD cards between Pi and Windows for backups.

Software on the Pi :

Devices I have :

Lots of my gear comes from BetaBound for Beta Testing and reviews.
