We need more information on your HVAC system. It sounds like you may have mini splits, but I’m not entirely certain.

Given that you already have UniFi protect for NVR, I’d argue the utility of something like Frigate is limited. And you don’t want Plex for media streaming, either.

If the Pi is meeting your HA needs, it may make more sense to sell or donate.

Disagree - it could be use for object detection in a NVR setup like frigate, or to enable additional hardware transcoding in Plex. And the 1050 is pretty energy efficient as I recall (for “old” gear)! Doesn’t seem like a negative to keep to me!
