Hello,
I'm looking to automate my home which i will soon complete building in the coming months.
I have been watching your Youtube videos and the items used inside the electricity distribution board seems adequate for my DIY project.
The main Application that i would like to use is the Home Assistant which would be hosted on a personal Home Server/HomeLab Server alongside other networking services such as NAS and Streaming Media Server.
My Automations (using less than 32 Channels) would mostly consist of controlling lighting bulbs, fans, Air Conditioners and some other low power driven appliances mostly connected to traditional switches like these.
Which Kincony product would be required for such a project?
a) Server : Kincony KC868-Server or KC868-H32B Pro
b) Raspberry Pi : Is it mandatory to use a RPI or can i use another SBC such as Zimaboard or a mini PC hosting Home Assistant via Virtualization.
c) Relay modules : would the KC868-E16V2 X2 be enough for the low current switches and other appliances?
d) Ability to add other smart devices such as Alexa and Google Home, Zigbee etc.
e) Is it possible to use MCB Breakers which are available locally in my Country (Mauritius)?
f) Would using a custom Aluminium cabinet to place the devices cause any unsafe/hazards scenarios?
g) Ability to add analog/digital input devices in the future.
h) Energy monitoring per output capabilities.
Thank you for your suggestions and time in advance.
