Home Assistant Green will then automatically install the latest version of Home Assistant, the app (mobile or web) will guide you through the setup process, and it will detect your smart devices immediately.
This is the easiest way to start using Home Assistant, and it is perfect for you or your friends and family who want to take their first step in home automation.
On the inside...
On the inside, Home Assistant Green runs on a powerful 1.8 GHz quad-core CPU. Memory and storage are amply provided with 4GB of RAM and 32 GB of eMMC, more than enough to keep you running Home Assistant on the device for a long time.
Addons (not included): Connecting to your existing smart home platforms lets you instantly use your devices that communicate over Zigbee, Matter, or other smart standards. When your smart home grows, you can use Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 to add Zigbee and Thread radios (Thread support under development) or one of many third-party USB devices available to expand Home Assistant Green with other smart standards like Z-Wave or Bluetooth.
On the outside...
On the outside, Home Assistant Green has a stunning translucent enclosure design revealing the hub’s inner hardware. Unlike some other smart home devices, it looks great in your home decor.
The bottom of the case also functions as the hub’s heat sink and is made of a solid piece of black, anodized aluminium. And, of course, this case features the new Home Assistant logo on top as a nice subtle mosaic pattern.
