Can I run Home Assistant on my BI server and HA would still be snappy without any delays?
My BI server is an EliteDesk G4 - as of today (5 cameras), the total CPU usage on the server is ~12%.
Thanks so much in advance for any help and your time!
The answer is technically yes, but keep in mind that the fundamental hurdle is that
Blue Iris is Windows only and Home Assistant will not run natively
on Windows - you will need a virtual machine or container of some kind to use both on the same PC. As #CamFan mentioned, using some containers,
such as the Home Assistant Docker image, can be challenging, whereas the Home Assistant OS installations, such as the Raspberry PI installation, are much
easier to manage, in my opinion.
What is your level of experience with Home Assistant? Do you envision a complex Home Assistant setup?
