I’ve been running HA for a few years now (started on a Pi 3, currently on a NUC), and it got me thinking. It feels like we currently have two extremes in hardware: 1. **The Starter:** Raspberry Pi or HA Green. Easy to start, but you worry about SD cards dying, or it feels a bit underpowered for heavier add-ons. 2. **The Overkill:** Intel NUC / Mini PC. Powerful, but you end up with a "Frankenstein" setup with a mess of USB dongles (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread) hanging off it. **Here is what my "Dream Setup" looks like. Am I the only one who wants this?** * **Integrated Radios > Dongles:** I know people say "dongles are easier to upgrade," but **I honestly hate the clutter.** I think a proper modern hub should have **Zigbee and Thread/Matter built-in** (with good antennas). I want one clean box, not a USB octopus. * **Living Room Ready (Not a Closet Server):** I don't want to hide my hub in a server rack. **I think it should look decent enough to sit on a TV stand.** Why? Because that's the center of the home, and it usually has the best signal coverage for the rest of the house. * **Bridging the "Smart-Dumb" Gap (Built-in IR):** This might be controversial, but **I really miss having an IR blaster on the gateway.** Since I want it in the living room anyway (see above), why can't it also control my "dumb" TV, AV receiver, and split-unit AC directly? I hate having to buy a separate SwitchBot or Broadlink just for that. **Does this "Goldilocks" device exist?** Or am I the only one who wants a clean, all-in-one hub that sits under the TV?
