Home Assistant Supervised is, more or less, a full blown Home assistant.
Install Home Assistant on any Armbian Bookworm (experimental)
Main difference between HA OS and Armbian with HA is that underlying OS here is clean Armbian Debian Bookworm and there is custom dedicated buildroot OS that is provided for a few single board computers, primarily for Raspberry Pi. We provide HA on a small selection of single board computers, but in theory, its possible to run this on (almost) all that are possible to build.
I am running HA on Odroid N2+ and it works without any problems. I have z-wave network with sensors and switches, air humidifier, Android TV, Android phones, dishwasher, ... Things works flawlessly, much better then few years back when I started with home automation for a first time, with OpenHab. This time it was setup from scratch and in a matter of days, most of devices are in function, playing with automation.
Tested on:
Odroid N2/N2+
Odroid M1
Nanopi R4S
Rock 5B
Uefi-x86
Orangepi 5
Nanopi M6
Rpi400
Khadas VIM1S
Khadas VIM4 (Amlogic vendor kernel trouble, failing / need inspection)
Bananapi M2 Pro
