Which Raspberry Pi for which project? The Raspberry Pi 5 covers the vast majority of uses: it is powerful enough for a desktop workstation, a media server or Home Assistant, and its PCIe connector accepts an NVMe SSD or an AI accelerator. The more compact models (Zero 2 W, Pico, Compute Module) serve handheld consoles, embedded electronics and industrial products.
Complete kit or separate parts? A kit brings together the board, the power supply, the case and a ready-prepared memory card: it is the safest way to get started. If you already have some of the hardware, each solution below also links to compatible boards, HATs and accessories, and to a step-by-step guide.
Home Assistant home automation on Raspberry Pi
You want to automate lighting, heating or water leak alerts without depending on a cloud or juggling each brand's apps. Home Assistant centralises your Zigbee, Wi-Fi or LoRaWAN devices and runs your automations locally, at home, with no subscription.
What you need
- A Raspberry Pi 5 with Home Assistant OS, or the ready-to-use Home Assistant Green box
- A Zigbee 3.0 dongle (Sonoff) to communicate with your sensors
- Sensors and actuators: temperature, door opening, motion, water leak, thermostatic valve
- An NVMe SSD for greater reliability on a system running 24/7
Recalbox retro gaming console on Raspberry Pi
Rediscover the games of your childhood on the living room TV or on a handheld console, with an interface the whole family understands. Recalbox turns a Raspberry Pi into a multi-system console: plug in the controller, pick a game, play.
What you need
- A Raspberry Pi 5 for the living room, or a Zero 2 W / CM4 in a GPi Case for gaming on the go
- A retro case (Retroflag) and active cooling
- One or two USB or Bluetooth controllers, or an arcade stick
- A microSD card with Recalbox, or a kit supplied pre-installed
Media center and media server: Kodi, Jellyfin, Plex
Films, series, music and photos are scattered across several drives and computers. A Raspberry Pi connected to the TV (Kodi) or placed next to the router (Jellyfin, Plex) brings everything together in a single library, viewable on the TV, phone or tablet.
What you need
- A Raspberry Pi 5: dual 4Kp60 HDMI output and HEVC 4Kp60 decoding
- A discreet case for the living room (Flirc, Argon) and a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable
- Storage for the library: NVMe SSD or USB 3.0 drive
- Optionally, the TV Tuner HAT (DVB-T/T2) to receive digital terrestrial TV
Office workstation: Raspberry Pi 500 or mini PC
A simple, quiet and energy-efficient computer for the web, e-mail, an office suite or a computer room. The Raspberry Pi 500 builds the computer into a French AZERTY keyboard: connect a display and it is ready. For x86 software or more demanding programs, our Intel mini PCs take over.
What you need
- A Raspberry Pi 500 or a Raspberry Pi 5 Desktop kit (supplied with Raspberry Pi OS)
- An HDMI display and the micro-HDMI to HDMI cable
- A mouse, and for the Pi 5 an official AZERTY keyboard
- Or a BMAX mini PC with an Intel processor for x86 software
Home server, NAS and network on Raspberry Pi
Share your files, back up family photos, block ads across the whole network or host a Minecraft server: a Raspberry Pi 5 uses little power and stays on permanently, silently. With an NVMe SSD, it becomes a real little server.
What you need
- A Raspberry Pi 5 with 4 to 8 GB, 16 GB for many Docker containers
- One or two NVMe SSDs (M.2 HAT, NVMe Base or dual NVMe base)
- The official power supply and active cooling
- To manage your machines remotely: PiKVM; for routing: Banana Pi BPI-R4 running OpenWrt
LoRaWAN IoT and industrial solutions
Monitor a cold room, detect a leak in a residential building, track soil moisture or supervise a building: LoRaWAN carries small measurements over long distances, with low-power battery-operated sensors. The Raspberry Pi acts as the gateway and local server.
What you need
- A gateway: Dragino PG1302 concentrator on Raspberry Pi, or LPS8N indoor gateway
- Dragino sensors: temperature, humidity, water leak, air quality, inputs/outputs
- A LoRaWAN network server: ChirpStack locally, or The Things Network
- In the field: mini PCs and industrial gateways (DIN rail, 4G, RS485)
Education: learning coding and electronics
Introduce pupils to programming, start a robotics club or equip a computer room on a controlled budget. From the micro:bit board to CrowPi platforms, every level has its tool, programmable with blocks or in Python.
What you need
- A micro:bit or a Raspberry Pi Pico to get started in electronics
- An all-in-one CrowPi platform: built-in screen, sensors and breadboard
- Raspberry Pi 500 units for the computer room
- Our offers dedicated to schools
Embedded AI and local AI on Raspberry Pi 5
Count people passing by, detect objects on a camera or query a conversational assistant without sending your data to the cloud. The Raspberry Pi 5 accepts dedicated accelerators: the computing stays at home, on your network.
What you need
- AI HAT+ (Hailo-8L 13 TOPS or Hailo-8 26 TOPS) for vision: object detection, segmentation, pose estimation
- AI HAT+ 2 (Hailo-10H, 40 TOPS INT4, 8 GB of dedicated RAM) for language models (LLM) and vision-language models
- The Raspberry Pi AI Camera for inference directly in the sensor
- An 8 or 16 GB Raspberry Pi 5 and an NVMe SSD to run Ollama
