    Hello, I am building a Home Assistant for the first time. It will be controlling a home greenhouse. There will be an ESP plugged in and STH30 sensors connected via RS-485. I want to use a mini PC I don't need as a server, but unfortunately it doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi, only when I had Win7 I used USB Wi-Fi. And here is the problem, how to bite it to have Wi-Fi.... Because I've already connected one Wi-Fi, but HA doesn't detect it, and do you know any model of USB Wi-Fi that will work under HA?

    Home Assistant works hard over Wi-Fi, just because it has the option doesn't mean it will work well. I've played around with it, I used to have a woiere mt7601 Wi-Fi card, once it worked, once it didn't, there were never any problems on cable, in my opinion it's a waste of effort.
