Eh probably worth something like the rpi instead of a VM then. I'm not into sacrificing my already limited gaming performance

Most of my home automation things have WiFi built in and work with Alexa directly, it's a damn deadbolt that doesn't.

The issue with a pi is you either need an external HDD or get a quality SD card designed to written to a lot. Most automation software keeps histories and that destroys cheap SD cards with all the writes/erases.

Just an FYI from someone who has ruined a couple of SD cards.
