I don’t really understand the appeal of Green. Yellow makes sense. More expand ability and

built-in Zigbee or Thread adapter, optional PoE

Is it that zigbee and thread are less popular than wifi devices?

I’d have bought a Yellow but when I looked they’re out of stock. A n100 NUC probably is better for my usage anyways.

Wait what, Green has no radio?? I always assumed it's got Zigbee.

It is typical, cheap SBC based on Rockchip RK3566 SoC. The only reason to buy this is to support Nabu Casa or to have product with Home Assistant preinstalled.
