Lots of people are using Home Assistant now. Best done using a dedicated pc and a zwave controller. An old desktop mini would be perfect for the job, but NUCs and those N series mini PCs are also popular. Or RasPi 4 or 5 could get you started.

Setup is a bit techie, but the app is mature and documentation is pretty good these days.

Amen to Home Assistant! There's no reason to use the RPi for it any more. Buy a small form factor microPC and it will be a lot more robust (lots of articles about RPi flash failures). Get a USB stick from Zooz (maybe on sale), and you'll have a great setup. I was so hesitant to migrate away from Vera, but finally pulled the trigger (wasn't painless), but not looking back!

Can someone give a quick rundown if ZBox is any good. I set up my Vera years ago and it just started acting wonky and I need a new hub relatively quickly. This just happened to pop up at the right time. I only have Z-wave devices so this will work for me.

Can't speak to the zbox. Check out the Hubitat box while you're looking.

How does this compare to my old insteon setup? I had the box the switches plus everything loved it, got divorced and looking for a new setup, the only bad thing about insteon is when the Box broke you had to buy a brand new one and some other issues.

I get to be one of those people to say "I just bought X couple of days ago" as I purchased the usb dongle for $26 + shipping after waiting 2 months for a deal.

Just getting into HA myself, but yes the Android app looks pretty much like the web Dashboard. I haven't ventured into customization yet, so can't speak to that just yet.

It's great - better than what SmartThings was. Once installed, it can be used as a sensor for automations.
For example, I have an automation that detects my wife's phone charging wirelessly after 10pm. That means we're going to bed, so the automation fires off things like closing garage door, locking doors, turning off any music, turning off the ice machine, turning off our lamps, and finally turning the alarm on.

Ah man, so to go the micro pc route you talking keyboard, mouse, and monitor? Or is there a recommended way to control the pc remotely. I feel like I'm going back 20 years here.

Home Assistant is way easier to set up than it was several years ago where you'd have to do nearly all the config and automations on YAML. I only touch YAML rarely these days. I've used Home Assistant since probably 2018.

Late 90s started building HTPCs, gaming pcs, work pics. Got so tired of equipment and finally got rid of everything and simplified life. Got rid of my last monitor years ago. Just looking to plop something on the shelf and plug it into the router and then operate it from my laptop.

I'm looking to add a standard ceiling fan with light to HA. Currently it has a single switch for power with pull chains for the light and fan (3 speeds). Is a ZEN52 in the canopy the best option?
