- Here we have discussed the advantage to install Home Assistant Operating System on a Rasperry Pi:
- But if we install the Home Assistant Operating System on a Rasperry Pi, we have only a front-end for HA, and it is not possible to use the RPi for other applications, if we do not have a deeper understanding of HA.
But it is also possible to install Home Assistant supervised on Raspberry Pi OS:
- The difference between the HA version is shown here:

- The supervised version of HA misses the managedOS feature which the HA OS has.
- The difference between HA OS and HA supervised is discussed here:

The adavantage of a RPi with RPi OS and HA supervised installed on it is that we can use our RPi also for other applications than HA. Different reviewers suggest to use alternatives to Raspberry Pi’s such as mini PC for HA. But for mobile applications, RPis are more sutable, since they consume less power.
