I started with a Dell Wyze 5070 from eBay. I put a 1Tb M2 sata in it, and 32Gb of RAM. Be warned it's really picky about RAM type. After a while I added 2 more, for testing and to spread the load a bit. I also added a proxmox backup server. I like the little boxes as they run at about 15W each.
If I was doing it again, I'd try and find a lowish power box that wasn't so picky on RAM, and also look at something with a 10GbE port so I could run ceph for some shared storage - but that pushed the price up...
I grabbed a cheap Dell Wyze from eBay, then stuck proxmox on it, then Home Assistant in a VM. Works beautifully, plus I can run other VMs and containers. Plus snapshots etc. It runs at 5w idle and 15w under load.
I’d split your network into 3 vlans. One for home, one for IoT and one for guest access (probably over WiFi). That way your firewall can handle the access rules.
Gilbern, great lightweight fibreglass bodied "sports" cars from Wales...

HTH
I have a rainwater tank, and I use an esp32 (nodemcu) flashed with Tasmota, and a waterproof ultrasonic sensor to measure water level.
Yes
True, but I really appreciate that someone is doing it. (It’s far beyond my capabilities…)

Or use this…
I’m just running them independently. Although the proxmox helper scripts automate the creation of a load of bits that I use. https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/
I don’t run much, just a Debian-vm, Unifi docker, Jellyfin and Jellyseer (and some *arr) apps.

Hate to say it, but unless you go for air-con, just a standard pedestal fan works way better than the evaporative coolers.
Just wish there was an iOS app…
Was it this?

I still enjoy the “Dell’s poker face” from Only fools and horses…
But probably not what you’re aiming for ;)

Will it run doom?
For me probably Terry Pratchett’s dwarves. Or TBH quite a lot of his characters…
Same for the UK???
Nice bag, where’s it from?
