    My wife and I are living full time in a campervan as we travel. I have a couple pi4’s, mainly for low-power-consuption reasons. One pi4 is dedicated to Home Assistant, and another one runs our nas.

    The Home Assistant pi also runs Grafana, Postgres/TimescaleDB, MQTT broker, and a few other HA addons

    Right now, our nas is just a single ssd attached via USB, but that’s more than enough right now for the essentials. Eventually the nas will run mergerFS and rclone and automatically back up our data (encrypted) to multiple cloud providers but it’s just a starting point

    I have a third pi4 running misc software and is kinda my scratch pad, the main thing it does right now is talk to our solar controllers and renogy batteries thru rs485/modbus-rtu using some custom software I wrote in typescript and then publishes that data on the mqtt bus, aggregates it, and then advertises it correctly to get it into Home Assistant and from HA, into grafana

    Oh, and I also have a Linksys E8450 running openWRT as our router / ax-wap
