must not add insane amounts of cost to my power bill
Has to be upgradable if I need to add upgrades to the hardware in the future
Has a speaker
may want to possibly also set up node red but it depends on if I need it or not because I may just be fine with home assistants automation
has to have wireless connectivity
mainly setting this up to add automation around my reolink cameras linked through the reolink home hub for example getting a second camera in the same area to start recording when one detects motion or link other smart home security products like sirens or floodlights

The downside is price, they're quite expensive after buying the Pi, storage, power supply, and maybe a case.
