Currently investigating using Home Assistant as a measurement system for heat-pumps in an educational/school context. The plan is to present a couple of temperature, pressures and power consumption on dashboards. A RPi 5 (or 4) will be hosting the system, mounted on a DIN-rail.
The student will use their laptops to connect to WiFi and the complete the lab.
A couple of years ago I built a similar system using custom software running on Raspbian OS in tools no longer available so I thought of using HA.
A concern I have is how well HA will recover from being repeatedly abruptly shut-down.
Anyone have any experience with this?
And yes - I know that this is not best practise, but the equipment will be handled like this.
