Our verdict
The no-thought option: eight unmanaged gigabit ports, no setup, nothing to misconfigure, and under GBP 20. It cannot do VLANs, so if you want IoT isolation at the switch pick the GS308E for about GBP 12 more. No PoE either. Fine behind a TV or on a desk.
What can Home Assistant control on the Netgear GS308?
Unmanaged switch with no interface, so there is nothing for Home Assistant to integrate with.
