Streamlining the Home Assistant Yellow lineup

Home Assistant Yellow and packagingHome Assistant Yellow fully assembled with additional (and not included) NVMe storage and Z-Wave GPIO module

TL;DR:  We will now only sell the Home Assistant Yellow as a kit, which requires the separate purchase of a CM4. Home Assistant Green is the best plug-and-play option for beginners.

An important part of getting more people to use Home Assistant is providing great purpose-built hardware. It’s our goal to provide hardware that makes it easier than ever to start with Home Assistant, along with compelling options for advanced users.  In 2022, we began shipping our Home Assistant Yellow, and I’m happy to say that now in 2024, it remains our flagship hardware product.  We see a long life ahead for this expandable little powerhouse, and that’s why we’re streamlining our hardware lineup to make a bit more sense going forward.

We will now only sell the Home Assistant Yellow as a kit and have stopped producing the Home Assistant Yellow Standard (our version that came preassembled with a CM4 and Home Assistant already installed). Rest assured, as the Home Assistant Yellow Standard’s hardware is identical to our kits, it will continue to receive the same support and software updates. The kits will continue to be available with or without power-over-ethernet (PoE).

It’s not the biggest change, but we wanted our community to know – and if you want to see why we made the change, and how our current hardware compares, keep reading.

  • Post category:IT Monitor

For a while now, Portainer has offered a unified management control point for Kubernetes –  any Kubernetes, anywhere – but recently we have been asked specifically if we know of any concerns or considerations with a few named distros such as; MicroK8s, Talos, Openshift, KOs, K3s, Rancher and Amazon EKS. I thought I would try them all out and I also tried; Azure AKS, Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Civo Kubernetes, Digital Ocean Kubernetes, Linode Kubernetes, Vultr Kubernetes.
