The Raspberry Pi 4 is a common choice to install HomeAssistant on due to it's small size, reputation, and community support. In this video I will talk about the pro's and con's to installing HomeAssistant on your Raspberry Pi 4 and walk you through the installation of Home Assistant on to an SSD , step-by-step. I STRONGLY recommend that you take the extra time, money, and effort to install HomeAssistant onto an SSD as the SD card will fail after 24/7 constant writing that Home Assistant does with its logging.
