4 cool projects you can do with Home Assistant on Raspberry Pi

Home Assistant operates on a Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5 with 2 GB RAM and a 32 GB microSD card, supporting more than 1,500 devices without a subscription. NFC tags trigger automations through the app or a reader, launching Plex movies or controlling lights. A phone charger’s state can start a bedtime routine, and a smart plug monitoring power can notify when a washing machine finishes.
