I use a Nuc clone to run Home Assistant, and AI event detection for my camera network (assisted by a Coral accelerator). So I think it legitimately qualifies for those buzzwords.
Except that almost nobody except random people on HN or certain reddit communities set up their own server for home assistant. Your personal interest and effort in this area really doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things -- I'm sure Asus and Intel marketing people weren't thinking about users like you when they wrote those words.
