Everything you need to get Home Assistant running on your own hardware with Zigbee devices. The kit from my getting started guide.
This is the kit I walk through in my [Getting Started with Home Assistant](/blog/getting-started-with-home-assistant) guide. It's everything you need to go from a blank mini PC to a fully working smart home with Zigbee devices, all running locally.
If you want something simpler, there's also the Home Assistant Green which comes pre-installed — but this setup gives you a lot more headroom for add-ons, Docker containers, and future expansion.

The mini PC I use in the guide. A Ryzen-powered machine with 16GB RAM and a 500GB SSD — more than enough to run Home Assistant OS and anything else you want to throw at it.

The Zigbee coordinator I recommend. Plug it in via a USB extension cable and you've got a Zigbee network. Works brilliantly with Home Assistant's built-in ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT.

You'll need a USB drive (at least 8GB) to flash Ubuntu during the installation process. Once Home Assistant is installed, you won't need it anymore.

A solid Zigbee bulb for getting started. Warm white, dimmable, 806 lumens. A great replacement now that IKEA's Zigbee range is being phased out.

A compact Zigbee scene button with four buttons and up to 16 triggers. Pair it to your bulb for your first automation — exactly what we do in the guide.
