ring-mqtt VS operating-system

I brought my ring alarm system into HomeKit with https://github.com/tsightler/ring-mqtt and Home Assistant. It works amazingly well and I’m in the process of making a wall tablet dashboard solution so I can have that fancy tablet that will work with virtually any camera system.

Closest I've been able to find is this. I even gets you a live streaming server as an option though https://github.com/tsightler/ring-mqtt

I configured the device in ESPHome to expose buttons in Home Assistant that I can use in my different automations. I’m running ring-mqtt which should (I haven’t actually set this up yet!) allow me to respond to the doorbell’s ding event and trigger the doorbell to ding. Since you have an SD card, you can put multiple files in different folders and tell the DF player to play a certain file. I have a number of different doorbell sounds on the SD card and created a select in ESPHome that allows me to change the sound directly from Home Assistant.

Home assistant can take pico remote events with the lutron integration and should be able to control ring smart lighting with Ring-MQTT https://github.com/tsightler/ring-mqtt/wiki.

You should be able to lock/unlock with HA if you setup ring2mqtt https://github.com/tsightler/ring-mqtt

I have had success integrate Ring and Wyze cameras through Home Assistant. If you'd rather not go that route, there is a project that publishes Ring cameras over MQTT and RTSP links: https://github.com/tsightler/ring-mqtt

BTW found exact same issue with homeassistant browsing the internet; Add support for Intel GMAC Ethernet controller (#2589) (#2593) · home-assistant/operating-system@9ca836f (github.com)

HAOS (https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system) is not "vanilla" linux, and I have somewhat little experience of linux, although using raspberry-based systems (Domoticz, Pihole, etc) and basic usage of unix mainframes since early 90s. But the question I could not find answer for by googling is, could I use HAOS to farm chia as well, or is it too much optimized towards HA usage to reasonably serve as a chia farming computer too?

The main issue with the 3A+ is the 512MB of RAM. Combined with only having one USB port and no Ethernet, I would not advise using a pi3A+ as a sustainable foundation for HA.

Home assistant was the last thing I had running as a VM, but recently switched over to running it in a LXC container with their ContainerOS (i think that's what they call it). I would say don't do it (at least not yet), and go with their full OS in a VM (dl link to correct KVM/qcow2 version). I say don't start with HomeAssistantContainer b/c you lose Supervisor and the add-on store, and it's a bit less straighforward to get installed.

One thing to notice, I have been able to successfully boot Home Assistant OS Generic x86-64 https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system which is using kernel 5.15+ and I don't know why I am able to boot HAOS (maybe they are using uncompressed kernel?), but not other general or special Linux distributions.
