  • If you do use the Pi for Home Assistant, save a lot of future headaches and use a proper SSD and not a SD card - there are always soooo many people having issues with SD cards after a while.

    If you are thinking you’re going to be investing a good bit of time in the future with Home Assistant (you will as it’s a hell of a rabbit hole) apparently Pi’s are quite slow to work with.

    A used PC (small form factor for about $200 with a 5 or 6 gen i5 CPU that ends with T and 4 gig of ram) is a suuuper snappy, future proof and reliable system to run HA on. Mine only uses ~10watt and is automating my whole house.



  • I have had a lot of fun from the following:

    Cummins Engine Pack

    • I like to make 4x4’s, work vehicles and what not. Good options for customisation
    • 3 different sound packs that are quite nice!
    • This Mod (I think)

    Turbo Everything

    • Love this one, great for regular cars, race/drag and also fun for increasing a vehicle performance bit by bit and then beyond as there are a HEAP off options to tuse from when adding parts and tuning it.
    • The sounds are great too and many to choose from
    • (And the dev is a legend with being very active in updates)
