I have a thin client addiction. You all have seen my 3x Dell Wyse 5060 Hyperconverged Cluster project. And you know that I bought a Wyse 3040. But, I actually bought 3x 3040s, and someone sent me a Wyse 7010, and an HP T620 (yet to be reviewed). And now I bought another. Today, it's an HP T530.

I'd consider this to be an excellent choice for anyone wanting to run Home Assistant, since it has *enough* power for, an upgradeable M.2 storage slot, and can handle a Coral TPU for Frigate using the M.2 WiFi slot (but *not* in the storage slot). It's also a bit more modern than the Dell units, using DDR4 (only single channel though) and sporting a USB-C port and more USB 3.0 ports. That said, it's a lower end CPU and GPU compared to the 5060.
