• must not add insane amounts of cost to my power bill
  • Has to be upgradable if I need to add upgrades to the hardware in the future
  • Has a speaker
  • may want to possibly also set up node red but it depends on if I need it or not because I may just be fine with home assistants automation
  • has to have wireless connectivity
  • mainly setting this up to add automation around my reolink cameras linked through the reolink home hub for example getting a second camera in the same area to start recording when one detects motion or link other smart home security products like sirens or floodlights

    I recently picked up a GMKtec NUC for around $100 off of AliExpress. It uses very little power and is very powerful for the price.

    It doesn’t have a speaker and the opportunities for upgrades are a bit limited, but otherwise I think it might be suitable for you.

    I run it as a media server at home without any issues at all
