I’ve been running multiple Raspberry Pi systems here and there for years. It has always been a pain to use SD-cards because eventually they get corrupted. Now I finally decided to take a look at the options and didn’t get disappointed. It was really easy and cheap to switch from the unreliable cards to SSD and get some extra speed as a bonus. For a smart home hub, reliability is definitely something I need.

I have a house. My house has small computers here and there. Those are inside the light bulbs, on electric sockets and in many other places. I’m on a journey towards finding out if “Smart Home” makes any sense. This is a really short introduction to what I currently think about it.
