Home Assistant Yellow Kit with Power-over-Ethernet

With the Home Assistant Yellow Kit with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), you get an especially flexible and tidy smart home hub that is powered and supplied with data through a single network cable. This kit combines a motherboard specially developed for Home Assistant with a robust case, a quiet cooling system, and PoE support – perfect for a central, wired smart home installation. Please note: A Raspberry Pi Compute Module is not included and must be purchased separately, flashed, and installed by the user. This makes the kit ideal for advanced users who already have experience with Raspberry Pi and Home Assistant. The integrated Zigbee module allows for the direct integration of numerous smart home devices without an additional stick. Thanks to the M.2 slot, you can use fast NVMe SSDs for a particularly reliable storage solution. The built-in fan ensures safe operation even under load. Home Assistant OS can be installed directly, and the open architecture offers maximum flexibility for advancing your home automation. With just one cable for everything, this version is particularly practical for installation in network cabinets or professional setups.
