There's too much noise at large organizations

Good spot! That settles it for me then

Yea good point, although since it's a raspberry pi compute module anyway I wonder how different support will be.

The Zigbee module is the main place that support will be better

Just trying to see the benefit of the Home Assistant Amber over a Raspberry Pi 4 2GB.

It looks like you get:

* Zigbee module ($45 for rp4 https://phoscon.de/en/raspbee2)

* PoE module ($20 if desired for rp4 https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14882)

* M.2 Slot (but no SD card slot)

* battery powered RTC

* A case

It's priced at $149 with all that, whereas rp4 2GB w. zigbee and PoE would be $45 + $45 + $20 = $110, so price seems reasonable if you need all those things as you're getting the rtc, m.2 and case all in a nice package.

My use would probably only need the Zigbee module and I can 3D print a case, so I'd go with the rp4 especially as I have a bunch lying around anyway! But Seems like a really nice package if you need all those things, and especially PoE is nice to have built in.
