Just got some power measuring plugs. Home Assistant and immich-running raspberry pi + NAS (dual 20TB in raid 1) + switch clock in at around 30W. Surround receiver playing music ups that by 90W. After a minor water leak I added 5 leak sensors to the system that will blink lights and send texts if they detect anything.
The biggest problem is that I'm still running lights through hue and some of them have an annoying tendency to drop off the network...
Get yourself a Sonoff ZigBee bridge! Hue light support is practically native, and they act as extenders to reach your other ZigBee devices! Just don't expect to be able to sync them with any movies or peripherals. I think there is a virtual Hue bridge on HACS and that might help with that, but idk
I have that. I just got hue first, so all my lamps (or at least the old ones) are registered in hue. I haven't taken the time to move all of it over, so now I have two competing networks.
