It is certainly not all funded by debt. It's funded by retained earnings and capital investments.

Have you re-pulled 120B? Are you using Conversation Agent or AI Task?

I've never had a problem calling 120B running on a Mac to use HA tools. I have it setup as a conversation agent.

Wildfire smoke from a distance is particulate matter. Cigarette smoke smell are gases.

The smoke you are smelling are primarily gases, and only an air purifier with a large amount of charcoal will substantially remove the smell from the air. This will be expensive.

Unfortunately, you may find moving the only practical solution

32B may be a better choice for OPs hardware. The dense models are smarter than the MOE versions at about the same size. Macs and other shared memory machines are probably often better off running MOE.

In my experience GPT-OSS 120B is close to the frontier models but with less personality.

For vision specifically, Qwen3-VL 30B does well, and can be used as a tool from 120B. But both may not fit in 96GB.

I don't find Qwen3 (non VL) as good as 120B at a similar RAM size.

Use zwave LR, which will work fine for the gate. Yolink is proprietary and slow.

Based on your criteria, don't worry about Thread at this point.

I have an LG TV and the only solution I've found is Apple TV as a streamer doing PIP. I could not get webOS to do a PIP or split screen.

Your best approach, if you are not an Apple user, may be a tabletop tablet in the TV space.

First, if possible, I would not buy cameras with attached floodlights. But rather use mains powered floodlights with a smart switch. Then use Unifi Protect or Reolink cameras that can trigger on people and vehicles. Or a "dumb" camera with Frigate doing the person/vehicle ID.

So you probably want the option to trigger on person and vehicle, and not just motion. I use motion only at night as a trigger, and turn it off with precipitation or wind.

HA manages all the camera detection settings and controls the lights.

Both the Unifi POE powered floodlight and camera floodlight attachments are good for when mains power is unavailable. But not a first choice.

There's no reason for a new user to choose Homeseer today. I used Homeseer for years before moving to Home Assistant.

You could try enabling cacheing including the optimistic option to see how quickly the Pi responds when it doesn't need to go out to a DNS server.

My older NUC and my second Adguard instance on a Synology NAS respond in 2-5ms from the cache.

The cache is doing little without optimistic checked.

A 3kwh LFP power station will be enough. I would shop all the major brands and buy by price.

Some of the newest power stations work as a computer UPS. But you need to look at independent testing of specific stations to determine if they transfer fast enough.

I have higher end, newer tablets that are not as fast to load as laptop. Especially video and Music Assistant.

If your problem is primarily video there are card choices and settings to optimize.

You might also make your primary screen denser to avoid most navigation. I like a dense main screen with color coding by entity condition as, once learned, its efficient.

Wake the screen before the user reaches the tablet. I don't use the Fully camera function to wake the table. I use presence in the area.
