Another argument to choose the Orange Pi 5 for our projects – real-time databases such as Home Assistant can be installed on it

  • Sever smartwatches can be streamed into Home Assistant
  • smartwatches are only of limited use for scientific studies
  • and Home Assistant is not developed for scientific studies either
  • Another real-time database is firebase
  • The Firebase database refers to Google’s cloud-hosted, NoSQL data storage solutions—specifically the Firebase Realtime Database and Cloud Firestore—which allow apps to store and sync data instantly across multiple clients.
  • There is an example how to connect OpenBCI to the Firebase Realtime Database
  • Firebase vs InfluxDB Comparison – What are their main differences?

  • Home Assistant and eventually other real-time databases can be installed on the Orange Pi 5, but not so easy or only in a reduced form on the Raspberry Pi zero 2 for example.
  • Sooner or later we will use real-time databases for our projects, too.
