How do you get started with home assistant in a reasonable way? I've been wanting to make that conversion, but it seems like such a huge project or undertaking just to get it first set up.

Do you have a Raspberry Pi, Mini PC, or media center PC that you already have running? Home Assistant sells a ready-made Home Assistant box (Home Assistant Green) if you don't. It has HASS pre-installed ready to go.

I do have an Raspberry Pi that's running my foundry server, but a pre installed Device sounds promising.
