I want/need to switch over from Google home to home assistant . So, how difficult would it be to migrate over? We mostly have smart plugs and a Google nest thermostat.
Is a raspberry pi adequate for this, or do I need a mini pc?
I did not own a Raspy so i needed new Hardware anyway. I use a Home Assistent Green now. Very easy setup and it does not need that much energy compared to a PC. Works well!

It will automatically adopt almost everything. A raspberry pi is ok, but I would recommend a PC depending on how many things you have.
I run quite an extensive home assistant on a Pi. I think just grab whatever is economical, most cheap hardware will run it.
I ran mine on a pi for years. When I upgraded I was very upset I hadn’t done it sooner. Everything responded instantly.
I run mine on an old Razer laptop with an 8th gen Intel CPU and its battery removed. Works a treat.
Oh nice! Okay, thanks!
