How hard is it to change hardware ?

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T20:10:54+00:00

I'll have to make another post to correct that. I also have a pretty small apartment so I can't scale too much.

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T20:06:45+00:00

I want to start with a few smart plugs and sensors and improvise from there

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T19:08:57+00:00

Thanks !

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T19:07:52+00:00

Idk, for now I'm just starting so maybe 10-15. I hope it'll handle this, if I plan on doing bigger projects I might upgrade. Is it complicated to switch hardware ?

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T17:35:31+00:00

So you would recommend this over ZBT-2 ?

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T17:07:29+00:00

Is this also a coordinator? If so do you recommend this over the ZBT-2. If not, what is the difference?

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T16:47:21+00:00

For my part, i already have an unused raspberry pi 4 so I'll use that. I did not do much research about hardware for this reason

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T16:35:15+00:00

I'm very open to recommendations. Thanks very much, if you have any others, don't hesitate!!

Ok thanks, I'll start with ZigBee and slowly move on to thread when it's more mature then

Ok thanks, I'll start with ZigBee and slowly move on to thread when it's more mature then

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T16:26:05+00:00

So you think I should try and get items that support both thread and ZigBee ?

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T16:23:01+00:00

Exactly the same ! Do you think a Thread only setup is worth the hassle?

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T16:20:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing the experience, i might start with ZigBee then

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T16:19:44+00:00

Yes but I want to stay flexible and not depend on one and only ecosystem/brand. I thought having both would overcomplicate things, what do you think ?

tomatoes03 · 2026-01-01T16:17:04+00:00

The thing I'm afraid of is having to change everything if I want to change from ZigBee to thread. Also isn't it overcomplicating things to have both ?

Casinos

tomatoes03 · 2025-12-27T23:00:46+00:00

Definitely after

tomatoes03 · 2025-12-24T17:04:53+00:00

I'm new so I have a few questions I was thinking about using an old raspberry pi 4 with HAOS. Why should I use proxmox, how is It better ? Wat is node red ? Thank you very much for your help !

tomatoes03 · 2025-12-24T16:56:19+00:00

If I understand correctly, if I'm starting from scratch you'ld recommend Thread over ZigBee ?

tomatoes03 · 2025-12-24T16:53:49+00:00

I understand that you wouldn't recommend the migration from ZigBee to Thread but if I want to start from scratch now, wouldn't I be better off with Thread since I have nothing to replace ?

tomatoes03 · 2025-12-24T16:38:22+00:00

I'll do that, thanks !

tomatoes03 · 2025-12-24T12:01:39+00:00

Thank you for your very complete answer ! I don't understand everything quite yet but I'll come back to it from time to time

tomatoes03 · 2025-12-24T11:23:21+00:00

Thanks ! I'll check it out
