Hardware recommendation #27

Closed rmeyer85 closed 2 months ago

rmeyer85 commented 2 months ago

Hi, currently I'm using evcc as an addon in HA but unfortunately my hardware is working at limit because I have just a raspberry pi 4 with 1gb ram. Therefore I'm looking for a new hardware solution:-) Now I'm not sure what is the best way to use both HA and evcc.

First option is to buy a mini pc with more power to install HA and the evcc as an addon. Second option is to buy a second raspberry pi or a HA green so that I can use evcc on the old raspberry pi and HA on HA green.

What is your recommendation? I mean to read multiple times that it is better to use evcc as a stand alone app on a appropiate hardware. In this case it is better to have 2 independent hardware systems.

Thanks in advance :-)

@rmeyer85 your question is better located in our discussions: https://github.com/evcc-io/evcc/discussions

In short: evcc is not resource hungry. A Raspeberry Pi Zero 2 should be powerful enough. If you want to also run other software on the same hardware its heavily depends on what you're doing.
