what about ftp addon
?
it has no errors..
You can use them to check HA's log file
what do u mean by 'them'?
but u were asking about samba and ftp.. ahh just to check logs ?
i thaught the addons can be reasons for it not to start
sicne cli should be able to show logs, am running hyper-v
i am in the samba btw where are the logs ?
i got access to files in the hyper-v machine whats next?
In your config folder
there is non
shoudl i enable log in raspberry
and then snapshot again
?
never mind
i started the core manually from the cli
and worked..
Anyone got any ideas why my HAOS on NUC wont even connect to the network (ethernet) after a power cut? Everything else is back but HA, running headless and the box is a bit of a pain to get to
Ah MQTT broker won’t be an issue on my Kubernetes cluster, I was just worried about HA since I have to tie it to the host network
Evening everyone, I have a problem my homeassistant instance from many years just died.. suddenly just hangs when starting up. can restore backup because state is tarting up, I have a backup but cant restore state is starting up.. I have console access but state is still starting up core stop unknown error...
What's in the core logs?
Please use a code share site to share code or logs, for example:
- https://dpaste.org/ (select YAML for the language)
- https://www.codepile.net/ (select YAML as the language)
- https://paste.debian.net/ (you guessed it, select YAML as the language)
Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view. Please also don't share text as images since it makes it harder for people to help you. Remember that others may have colour blindness, impaired vision, etc.
nothing thats the problem.. no errors in supervisor logs.. last lines look ok and then nothing.. 22-04-21 19:17:50 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.resolution.evaluate] System evaluation complete
22-04-21 19:17:55 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.homeassistant.api] Updated Home Assistant API token after I try like restart all is hanged.. and settings top logs there is 4 lines. need to restart to get them but installation just seems really slow..
worked before latest update.. then messed up.. then going back not working
now there is docker monitor connect error.. let me fix that
ipv6 network error.. ipv4 worked but whole homeassistant hanged because of that.. not GOOD
Feeling pretty silly, but how can I access (and edit) my config file if its running in a Docker container and Home Assistant OS
Hi. Complete noob here. Insteon died. Trying to get my first Raspberry Pi up and running Home Assistant. Got stuck trying to install balena etcher. Followed the link to github for the Debian installation. I copied and pasted the two strings into terminal. The first one seemed to work. The second came back with "E: Unable to locate package balena-etcher-electron" in the last line, I am stuck. Can one of you help me out? Thanks!🥴
@stoic quest You run Debian normally?
On some computer you use daily?
This is fine, just trying to clarify where you're at
Thank you! Brand new Rasp Pi (400). I haven't used a command line for many years. I actually had to search to find what operating system is running!
Oops - should have replied to you: Thank you! Brand new Rasp Pi (400). I haven't used a command line for many years. I actually had to search to find what operating system is running!
Well, you install etcher on whatever computer you use normally
It is used to flash the image to an SD card, and then you put that SD card in the RPi
You don't install etcher to the Pi
And you don't have to use etcher. There are other ways to flash the image to the SD. Etcher is just the suggested app
OK. I think I understand. I use a macbook air M1 normally. So install etcher there and flash the image to a SD?
yes
You might need a usb adapter for the SD
Does the macbook air have an sd slot?
or actually...usb ports even?
Thank you so much! I will get to work on that. (Got the USB adapter; no slot on the MBA)
If you're using Home Assistant OS then you have add-ons for that https://www.home-assistant.io/common-tasks/os/#configuring-access-to-files
sorry, I mean in a container mode.
Does usb3 holds any advantage running HAOS on rpi 4 using a Stata SSD compared to Usb2?
Other than speed...
Power supply maybe. If the ssd does randomly drop performance on usb2 then usb3 might provide more stability
usb3 can supply more amps
I have strange issue. I am using star tech usb to SATA adapter with Adata S750 256 GB ssd, on rpi 4 running HA. Since it is connected to USB3 port, It effects the connection between my wifi router and solar inverter. Which I solved by moving the rpi4 to a different location.
Secondly it effects my plane tracking stick, it's range decreases significantly.
How do I migitate this issue?
hi, im trying to build home assistant with pip install homeassistant and i keep getting stuck on cryptography. im pretty sure its omsething to do with rust and ive tried unstaill and uninstalling it like 10 different ways and it still isnt working. heres as much of the error log as i can fit on screen. id copy it but i cant how i have things set up right now
..having difficulty with my screenshotting tool
just kidding i cant upload pictures here
best i can do rn
Have you considered HA Container instead @amber iron? No need to worry about deps with that method
the only device i have rn is an android device running linux through linux deploy, it doesnt support docker, im pretty sure
oterhwise id be happy to, but raspberry pis are way too scare and hard to find rn 😅
hi I need some help I can't conect home assistant to wifi
The error (images of text are a horrible thing) is pretty clear - you need to install rust
yeah ive tried like 5 different ways
Well, that's a problem with your OS, and others have found that the whole "Linux on Android" thing is ... underwhelming
yeah, it definitely is, im trying to work with what i got 😅
i got it up and running before, so i probably just screwed something up
ill just start over i guess lol
Just about any 64 bit capable system from the last decade will be a better choice
Buy something off of eBay/whatever
good point yeah. just want something i can keep always on, but yeah i should find something else
I use an 8 or 9 year old laptop
how do I connect my home assistant server to the network using WIFI because I don't have a Ethernet cable
Are you using Home Assistant OS?
Hass.io was the old name for the appliance like install option, that uses Docker. It was renamed in January 2020 and is now called Home Assistant OS.
Not for over two years, no 😛
ok i am using ha os
help now
Patience
I don't use HAOS, I can't help you. You have to wait for somebody who does
🤦🏻 ok
Hi all, I think I'm stuck with this issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/69620
I posted in the github issue my stalled processes. Anyone can help me out of this?
One option may be to drop the database and start fresh
Hahaha, that's not a realistic option. Then I need to redo my whole setup
And Hass doesn't let me restart even...
I restored 2022.3.8, hope there will be a fix for these 2022.4 DB upgrade errors.
Yes
The system must be 64-bit capable and able to boot using UEFI
After that it's largely down to what you want to do with it
minimum power consumption max performance for running frigate
You only lose state history if you drop the database. In no way do you need to 'redo your whole setup'.

Installing core on a fresh SD and fresh pi
Using ssh
With ubuntu terminal
But I actually have no idea what I'm doing other than following tutorials
Isn't Ubuntu an unsupported installation?
I've installed raspbian and using ubuntu terminal from my windows 11 pc to ssh
Got a question about running Zwave2mqtt twice on the same server to migrate my devices from an old Aeotec S2 (300 series) stick to my new Aeotec 700 stick.
I just migrated over to Z2M from the old deprecated Zwave integration and have everything working great. I run HA in a docker container, as well as Z2M. I'm hoping I can run a second container with another instance of Z2M and hook up my new Aeotec 7 stick to it so I can slowly move all the devices off the old stick, on to the new stick, and eventually remove the old instance of Z2M. Hope that makes sense.
My issue is that I can't seem to get the 2nd instance of Z2M to run on a different port. Is something wrong with my docker-compose.yml?
@past lagoon posted a code wall, it is moved here --> https://hastebin.com/iqayadahiy
the whole thing just looks sketchy. it looks like you're trying to install HA in a venv, which is almost the last thing that I would recommend for someone who doesn't know what they're doing and is just following tutorials
@past lagoon Rule #6: Please do not post codewalls (text longer than 15 lines) - use sites such as https://dpaste.org/ (pick YAML for the language), https://www.codepile.net/ (pick YAML for the language), or https://paste.debian.net/ (pick YAML for the language).
Please take the time now to review all of the rules and references in #rules.
You also wanted the #zwave-archived channel
Unsupported for Supervised
I'll second this - use Container or HAOS
If you really want to use Core at least follow the official docs
@grand pivot I downloaded raspbian installer, flashed it to an SD card using it's own thing, plugged it into a brand new pi4, connected to it through ssh using the ubuntu terminal and followed this exact process: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi#install-home-assistant-core
Doesn't look like you did
For a start, that image (really, images of text...
) shows you didn't activate the venv to start HA
I literally copy pasted sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-dev python3-venv python3-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev autoconf build-essential libopenjp2-7 libtiff5 libturbojpeg0-dev tzdata
How much experience do you have building software from source, and troubleshooting that?
I have extreme google and fuck with it until it works experience
Right, so fuck all
I need certain node red functions though
Yeah but they only work on core
You can run HA in Docker just fine
Well, that's more than a bit shit ... you're going to have a lot of learning
Ive done it before, i'm rebuilding from scratch and I hit this error
For a start, any time you interact with the command line for HA you have to activate the venv as the user running HA
sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
... your commands here
You'll be installing Python 3.10 from source in December, and building a new venv then FYI
Can I sreenshare?
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/autostart-using-systemd/199497 is something you're gonna need too
Sorry I'm like 31 and haven't used the internet properly since forums were a thing
So, youngster then 😛
I'd dig into why you need Core for those node red functions - most #node-red-archived folks don't run Core
Everybody has the software called Core, but only 4% of HA installs use that install method
Well I logged into ssh right
The reason I need core is cos of BLE scanning
In node red
I'm confused then
If it's being done in NR then HA is irrelevant and you can use Container
If it's being done by HA, then presumably you're using one of HA's native integrations?
Right, so ... that has nothing to do with how you run HA
Nothing there says requires Home Assistant
How you run Node Red may matter
Nah but doing the ha install
on the sd card
instead of using core
means i cant run node red separate
to install that
Sure you can, use Container
Your future self will be grateful that you actually listened
Thanks
My HomeAssistant OS on the pi3 just fell off the network entirely overnight. When I look at it, the flash drive it's running from (since the SD card kept becoming excruciatingly slow) isn't blinking at all. I unplugged the drive and checked out the journal on it, and there's nothing relevant that would explain why it fell off.
Is there a way to configure it to send syslog over the network?
why can't we HAOS with MAC M1?
You want to replace MacOS with HAOS?
I'm tempted to run the dang thing from an old hard drive, because SD cards sure aren't working well.
I have an eMMC SD card thing on order, but it's shipping from the UK, so who knows when it will arrive.
is this a thumb drive?
Yeah, the drive I tried is one.
The SD card that was becoming excruciatingly slow is a Samsung 32GB drive, I think UHS-1.
The SD card went slow, the flash drive actually failed completely.
They also get really hot in my experience
Like, the OS stopped even requesting its DHCP lease, so the hostname couldn't be resolved.
The SD card went to something like taking 40 or more seconds to open some of the settings pages.
Will HAOS boot from a USB drive with 4k sectors, on a pi 3? I have a small SD card with only bootcode.bin, and the USB drive. Seems like most NVMe USB enclosures have 4k sectors, not 512-byte sectors.
Hello! Did anyone manage to install HA on an asus tinker board 2s?
Hi everyone I’m trying to install home Assistant on a virtual machine and it gets stuck add CLI screen
I did search all the forums I tried V PN I tried it on another computer and I got same on all of them
Has anybody experienced this before
Hello folk, I'm another Insteon user who is trying to get Home assistant up and running. I purchased an Odroid N2+ and flashed the Home assistant image to a 64GB SD card. when the system boots I see "[mmcblk1p1] Procesing new Disk device" and nothing else happens. Suggestion? Solutions?
put it to MMC
after you power it off, and then flip
did you try to get an emmc for it? hard to find?
I've got an N2 here. I'll try an SD install
I've boot other OS from SD in the past, but never HAOS
Looks like progress. but it stops at Home Assistant command line
That's normal, depending on what you mean by stop
There's no desktop/UI you would expect to see
no, looks like it's waiting for input
You would now open a browser on some other device on your network and try to reach homeassistant.local:8123
it doesn't wait for input. if you have it connected with ethernet it is continuing to setup in the background
Normally you wouldn't even need to connect a display
unless there is some lower level issue you need to fix
This is true of any installation of HA on anything. It's a headless server, you access it through a webpage
Give me a minute. I need to connect to an ethernet port
ah if it wasn't connected then it's not setting up
it has to download images which run as containers which make up the ecosystem
im rebooting with the ethernet connection
ok. It appears to be loading for the HA.local:8123 now thanks for the help
you can click on the blue dot for logs
thanks. it says it will take 20 minutes.
it can be faster. I just booted mine with SD and will see
@carmine pumice done? Mine just finished and is at the user creation page
So that was only 5 min or so
Is this the right channel to troubleshoot insteon hub connections?
That'd be #integrations-archived
how do i access homeassistant.local on a device other than the one the vm is installed on
can you get to it via IP address? i think the default port is 8123.. so http://youripaddy:8123
where youripaddy is the ip address of your home assistant device
ok its working now, idk why it wasnt working before
Hi, I just came back here to let you know that you are 100% correct and thankyou for preventing me going down a deep dark path.
Hi everyone! I am still using (lol) homeassistant on a proud raspberry 1.
I have a nice raspi 4 but I keep postponing the change because I have a lot of stuff to move and moving would... Kill my house for some time.
Is there any safe way to "migrate"?
I also have Alexa and I use the Philips hue emulation for integration... Will this cause problems?
Thanks!
Create a full backup of your running system. Copy it off the system. Load up home assistant on the new system and restore from the saved backup. Shut down the old system. You should be offline for less than minutes.
Hey, beginner here, read through a bunch of documentation, watched tons of youtube videos but still not quite sure on the installation.. I have a Lenovo m92P mini PC with sufficient system requirements. I tried flashing the generic image to an sd card but it just boots up from that device. I want this mini pc to be a standalone HA server and I don't wanna use VM on win
what do I do??
is there like a live ubunte system I could "ghost" to my Mini PC?
with HA already installed?
Use this install method: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/generic-x86-64
so I have an old android lying around, and I thought it'd be beneficial to put it to use rather than buying an rpi for this
I'm trying to follow an installation guide I found for Android tablets (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/home-assistant-core-on-android-tablet/250174)
but I keep running into this issue:
"failed to build cryptography, requires rust >= 1.41"
so I installed rust, but then I get "invalid target, set the cargo build target env variable"
any way to build it on android
Hi, HA Blue user here. All been fine for months and can view HA fine. It’s been updated successfully multiple times in the past. However, now when I try I get the error 'OSManager.update' blocked from execution, no supervisor internet connection.
Been like this for a few weeks, searched around and found a few similar issues but not on Blue and nothing I’ve tried has got me any further.
Under Info, it was saying the system is not healthy, but is now seemingly looping with nothing displayed apart from spinning circle. I’ve tried rebooting and restarting everything numerous times and also tried to update from terminal, but nothing changes. Can ping google.com from terminal with no issues and can access the dashboard from phone with everything seemingly functioning fine.
Supervisor itself does seem to have updated as it is on supervisor-2022.03.5 but Core-2021.11.1 and OS 6.6 are several iterations behind now.
After a shutdown and restart, the log has several warnings and one error which I can provide, but not sure if this is right place.
Where is the best place to get help?, and if here, let me know what additional info would be useful.

Hi I want to back up config from a HA core to a HAOS in a VMM. Is this the right channel to ask?
Create a backup, either through the UI or by copying the entire contents of your config folder including hidden files/folder. Install the new method and either restore the backup or copy the config folder to the new install including all hidden files and folders. Delete the virtual environment.
Of course, if possible, I try to do the installs on two different mediums so I can always go back to the old install if needed.
Struggling after ssd failure. I’ve imaged the latest HA OS, but when it boots it doesn’t get an ipv4 address just a single ivp6 address. I’ve disabled ipv6 on my router. I’ve tried several different cards and ssd all with the same result. If I connect Ethernet directly to my MacBook Pro sharing its Internet connection over it, it will get an IPv4 address from the Mac.
@jovial rampart thanks for your answer, I cannot find backup in the UI. This seems to be in supervisor menu which my install is missing (core). The HAOS proposes to use a backup file when you start it first time, but it requires a file and how to make that file from the old HA core instance?
Upgrade to 2022.4 and look in the configuration menu
I also cannot find any upgrade control in the UI, is that normal? Otherwise, how do I do it? It is a SPK for Synology NAS, originating from synocommunity (yes, big mistake to start with that, i very much regret. HS core is CRIPPLED and the version maintained by syno community is way back)
You only have a UI option for upgrades if you run HAOS or Supervised
so how could I do? Totally lost here
No idea how you'd upgrade - I suspect you get to wait for the developer of that package to get around to it
Otherwise, back up your config folder, and then restore it to your new HAOS install
how do I backup: just copy files or tar or what else? Then, The new HAOS instance requres a backup file, how to do it, what format, etc.
Copy all the files and folders, including all the hidden ones
ruight
You don't need a backup to restore - you can simply copy the files over the config folder in the new install, with HA stopped of course
You'll want the SSH and Samba add-ons
the new isntal is HAOS working on the VM manager of NAS. How do I access its config folder?
I know its IP adress though
ah samba on the new one, okkkk!
Yup, I have no idea how you access files on Synology, for that you're on your own
that's all right, I have access to the config folder. Many thanks, it looks doable.
Follow-up: trying to copy the config from a synology NAS synocommunity package for HA Core 2021.9.7. I stopped the SPK in in the synology DSM interface (package manager).
I use the tar command to make a backup of whole config directory, but 5 files cannot be accessed because of permission problems:
tar: ./.storage/core.uuid: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar: ./.storage/auth_provider.homeassistant: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar: ./.storage/onboarding: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar: ./.storage/auth_module.totp: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar: ./.storage/core.config: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar: ./.storage/auth: Cannot open: Permission denied
Is that a problem?
It's only a problem if you want to have a working install when you restore all the other files
How come after I updated my home assistant my mp3 files are no longer there ?
Where did you store them?
AFAIK that should be a volume on the host, so .. 
Wel there gone checked and double checked and I know I did not delete them 🤔
Thanks! I went through this documentation step by step, flashing the image to my usb drive but balena got stuck and wrecked it.. I tried it again with Rufus, plugged it into my mini PC and it booted up, but I think it was running from my usb drive instead of doing like an OS install on the mini PC. I pulled the drive and obviously my HA crashed. I'm looking for a solution where I can have my mini PC running an ubuntu + ha installed
Ubuntu + HA in Docker is fine - no add-ons, no Supervisor
https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux#install-home-assistant-container is the guide, and I'd strongly recommend you use Docker Compose as it'll make your life a lot easier
I've never worked with Docker before that's why I'm a bit hesitant. For testing purposes I put together a VM on a laptop, with the HA OS image and basically I want the same thing just on a standalone pc instead of VM
Then you need HAOS, either installed directly, or on a VM on Ubuntu (KVM)
"Then you need HAOS, either installed directly"
this is what I want, how do I do it? 😄
I should grab a fresh Ubuntu image install it and then install HA OS through Ubuntu?
Well, no, you can't really do that
If you install an OS to the PC then you can't use it to replace itself
I followed those steps, but it just runs from my memory card and not from the SSD in the mini PC
like it doesn't install anything
Then you flashed it to the wrong device
Take the disk out of the PC, connect it to a USB adapter, flash it from your laptop/whatever
or should I take it apart, get the SSD out, plug it into my PC, then flash it?
ah ok
gotcha
The other option is to boot from a live CD that gives you the ability to flash from there
balena wasn't working nice. Tried flashing 2 times, both from URL and file and both got stuck
does Rufus do the same thing right?
Haven't used it, I'd guess so
it should
Then it's a problem, because I do not want a broken install . What may be the consequences?
did not sudo! Duh. Thanks @humble mirage my tar ball is complete now.
Hello :)
Can i ask what revers proxy you use in with docker-compose install ?
I am pulling my hair out with this... first time doing a stack and i try treafik for now ....
I don't see how docker is easier than core but i have to make something stable before i leave the house
Use the swag container.
How to I shutdown the HA from the ha command prompt (ha >) ?
Thanks, RobC.
Hey, so I just wasted few hours of relaxing sleep to try to set this up but no luck. Here's what I've tried so far:
First I didn't want to take the mini PC apart to get to the SSD so I tried a WINPE ( by Sergei ) to boot up and then flash the SSD from within. Unfortunately balenaetcher was acting up again and the flashing failed several times.
Then decided to take the mini PC apart, plugged it into my desktop PC.
Deleted all the partitions of the SSD formatted it into a blank NTFS.
Then ran balenaEtcher, flashed the image ( tried both from URL and from File ), desktop turn off, unplug SSD, toss it back into the miniPC, secure boot disabled, UEFI on, and I'm getting no OS error message ( 1962 no operating system ). What I noticed is that when I turn the PC on and BIOS loads in it logs some stuff on the screen and says SATA1: None - like it doesn't see my SSD on SATA1. Any Idea? It's 2AM and this s...t is killing me..
Rufus is somewhat similar to balenaEtcher btw, but it can't flash SSDs only USB devices
No idea, I don't use HAOS and you'll need somebody else who does to help with this
Hi!
Short question, why does my supervisor not find an update? On GH-Release page the latest is 2022.04.02 and mine is 2022.04.0?
Also ha supervisor update doesn't update (maybe because for the system there isn't any available)
guys anyone have a sql query for finding out the excessive logging in my state_attributes table for mariaDB?
HA looks for the latest stable versions here https://version.home-assistant.io/stable.json
this still points to 2022.04.0
any input on this ?
I've just installed the HA on my RPi 3 B+, is it possible to add a CPU temperature card to my dashboard?
First step will be getting an integration to pull that into HA
#integrations-archived can help with that
Hi! I'm trying to trigger a scene from another scene, but I noticed the state of scenes are a date and they are saved incorrectly in the scenes.yaml. Example:
scene.movie_time_end:
friendly_name: Movie time end
state: '2022-04-24T11:58:00.169821+00:00'
I've tried to fix this by changing it to state: {{ now() }} or something but I cannot get it to work... How can I activate a scene from another scene?
#automations-archived is the channel for scenes, but I'd expect you need to set the state to on, given that it uses the scene.turn_on service
I'm not using scene.turn_on so I'll try that! And I'll post in #automations-archived if I have further questions 😅 Thanks
Hi, reposting from #general-archived , accordingly to the suggestion. Hi. Im struggling with launching HAOS on stock rpi4. Etched the image on SD, placed the card in rpi, plugged the power supply (gan 40w) ,and nothing happens. Like literally nothing. HDMI output dead. No blinking on the board. Ethernet device shows up on the router for a few seconds and then gone. Oj the same device and the same card,im successfully running octopi and raspbian. How come this doesn't work ? Tried several releases of HAOS , including 7.6 and 8 rc2. Anyone else had this problem ?
@sweet flame in 9 out of 10 cases I've seen this is when the image for the wrong RPi is flashed
RPiOS has one image for all Pis whereas HA has specific images for each Pi
Thanks , meanwhile i figured this out. You are right as he'll and it's a shame to make such mistake, but iv took rpi4 image and tried to run it on rpi3
I wanted to install HAOS on a Lenovo m92p with the generic image but it might not work. Found others dealing with the same issue and there's a pretty slim chance I can make this work. What's the next best method ( least amount of maintenance, less limitations, etc.. ) to install HA on a standalone mini PC ?

What settings did you mess with im in the same boat
Does anyone know where Port settings are on Netgear Ruter. Im trying to set default port for my Pi to 8123 for Home Assistant install.
https://portforward.com/ has some good guides
Can someone show me there router settings for home assistant. Especially DNS settings?
You just forward port ... whatever (often 443) to 8123
DNS is rarely involved on the router
ok how do I find the port settings to forward 443 to 8123 in Netgear Router settings?
Does anyone know how to bang there head against a wall?
Presumably you click on add custom service, specify your home assistant instance's ip address for internal ip, and set external port to 443 or whatever, and the internal port to 8123 or whatever.
ok thanks. Setting up home assistant supervised is like trying to shoot the dick off a fly from 2000 yards! At least for me guess I need someone from MIT to remote access my computer and get this up and running for me.
The fact that exposing your instance to the public internet is painful and complicated for those not particularly familiar with with low level networking, is the whole reason why Nabu Casa offers the home assistant cloud remote UI feature. I use it despite being perfectly capable of doing it the manually way, since I simply can't be bothered to do the work.
"how to forward ports for router <insert model here>" is not MIT stuff
Im just trying to get this up and running was trying to tell my router to look for 8123 because it keeps giving me server errors
Im doing trial and error I already went through all the walk throughs and offical guides dotting my I's and crossing my T's
Anyone want to use teamviewer and take a look at my setup please let me know I'll Venmo you
I would love to get Nabu Casa but I cant install a program on a rasberry Pi and get it to work!
hey hey, i'm having some issues re-installing homeassistant OS, my disk always fills up to 100% and HA Supervisor refuses to start, any ideas ?
I'm installing it using the QCow2 image
@viscid sigil
Hi and thanks for the hint...
How can I take a full backup of HA on raspi 1 that will be compatible with the new install on raspi 4?
hi, i am new to HA.
i am using home assistant on virtual box and im trying to log in on the website.
i am not able to find the ipv4.
i am not able to start the website to put my ip adress
it should be the ip address:8123 and it should show the ip in the console
i sent an image in #frontend-archived if you want to see the console
type login
ok
it doesnt show anything
it just shows #
yep thats good
i typed it again
and now its back at supervisor to start up
you were in the right place
oh
I wanted you to type ip a to get the complete ip addressing info
do you see anything that looks like it could match your home network
no
type ping 8.8.8.8
ok so your networking settings on vbox are incorrect, the pc is hardwired correct?
yes
2 questions, can home assistant vm access wifi/bluetooth
and can you use the "full backup" option to easily change host machine with nothing lost?
i am not sure
ok I saw the screenshot you sent me... keep in mind you can also use imgur for sending images but either way it looks like the adapter configuration is correct make sure vbox is up to date, sometimes you have to reboot after installing vbox for networking to function correctly
okay
can you send me a current vbox link if you dont mind?
so do i restart my pc now
networking, yes. Wi-Fi I am not sure but if it is a usb device for bluetooth or wifi you could try passing it through
where did you download virtualbox from
Did you install the VirtualBox Extension Pack
my mother board has wifi and bluetooth
adds support for additional hardware, unlikely to solve our issue but you may need it later anyway
oh thanks
do i restart my pc now
one more question, are you running Windows 11?
yes
earlier versions of 11 had issues with vbox make sure windows is up to date too
okay
yea im up to date
so am i good now
i will tell you what happens when i restart my p
pc
ok
The backup service is hardware independent. You don't need to worry about it.
I finally got Home Assistant to work but says system not healthy and wont update Supervisor
Is there a definitive guide to installing HA on Ubuntu with supervised mode?
No, because the supervised installation method is only officially supported on Debian. It is possible that you might be able to make it sorta function in Ubuntu, but the devs don't test or support it, and people have run into problems in the past.
The supported options on ubuntu are running HA OS in a vm, running home assistant docker, or running home assistant core.
I tried installing Rasbian Home Assistant for the PI 3 but whenever I try to find it on my network I can't. I have tried reflashing it and everything.
I have given it over 20 minutes
I have also plugged it in through ethernet but the network still won't detect my PI 3
@pine orbit Thanks. I'll try the HA OS (I have vmware)
Nice. I used the VMDK to build a vmware image with HA OS...I already had a subscription to HA Cloud (when I was noodling around with it earlier this year)....installed the integration for Insteon using the credentials on my hub....Alexa picked it up immediately...I just need to rename the devices in HA (I've already done the Front and bathroom lights and they work) and I'm good to go.
Just tested the fans/lights too..good to go
I guess I'm out of luck if I ever lose the hub..but at least I bought some time until I can find replacements.
You did use Home Assistant OS I take it? You didn't use the trap that is the Supervised installer?
How is healthy and non healthy determined?
my rpi4 system went from healthy to unhealthy for again
already did a install few days back
You're still using the stable releases of HAOS and the Supervisor?
Can we install HAOS on UEFI enabled laptops?
Probably
it's a requirement even
then why Intel NUC are preferred than old used laptops?
Why do you think it's preferred?
That's just a persons suggestion
I am planning to setup a basic/low-key installation at my home. I was wondering what would be a suitable platform? Raspberry Pi or a Mini PC (which I could share with another service in the future)?
what you have in stock?
Both a Pi and a Mini PC
Go for Mini pc
which pi it is?
according to experts including Tinkerer PC is better platform for HA.
Good to know, I assume then I will go for Docker based installation, then I can share the PC
more powerful hardware, more ports,
to me Docker is unstable, unreliable and too clumsy in my limited use
Good news... your chosen install method uses Docker 
I had a sigh of relief when MaxWinterstein released ADB-S Multi Portal Feeder https://github.com/MaxWinterstein/homeassistant-addons
previously I was using docker with portainer and it was a big headache
So is the Docker method more stable?
Docker is fine, and underpins 96% of all HA installs
Any time Docker isn't fine it's either because the host itself has issues, or there's a layer 8 issue
HAOS on pc is also docker based?
Hmmmmm, I thought so, that host might be an issue. What is layer 8 issue? Curious on that
People 😉
Thanks, I thought it would be really specific, hidden somewhere 🙂
that is layer 9
what features to look for in a used laptop to run HAOS beside the cost obviously
and a broken non-working screen
UEFI, wired Gbit networking
More CPU cores are handy, and more RAM is always good, but as long as there's at least 2 cores and 2 GB of RAM then you're on the right path
any generation will work?

22-04-25 11:30:28 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.homeassistant.core] Updating Home Assistant image failed
seems to be a an github issue
Hi there! 2022.4.7 refuses to install properly for me (it says it's installing and then nothing happens). I've rebooted, done a "cold boot", updated everything else to no avail. I can't seem to find anything super obvious in the log either that aren't just normal warnings I'd get.
Where should I look for more clues?
Look up
Sorry, seems like I'm impatient today ^^
No worries
I am however not seeing this error myself if I should find it in "load full home assistant log". Nothing super obvious that would block an update.
Only errors I had were related to TTS/MPD so I disabled those and tried to upgrade again but it fails and I can't see any errors at all.
Supervisor logs not HA logs
@late inlet Looks like github packages itself is down from which the image is downloaded, so no error in your instance. If it cant be downloaded, it cant be updated
Ahh. Ok, good. Sometimes one problem doesn't rule out another but then I can just wait it out. Thank you
Would really appreciate any help or at least being pointed to the right place to seek it. Ta
Seems to be a super dump solution/approach, but if you have supervisor, make and download a full backup, reinstall the HA Os image with the right version and upload the backup? Should only take 10-15 minutes with no data loss and after that you know if it is a issue in HA (problem disappeared) or in your instance configuration (problem still exists)
Thanks. Supervisor seems to be functioning and I have back ups so will try to reinstall and then load the back up and see what happens.
How do I update home assistant core if I accidentally pressed skip when the update popped out
I don't see that being covered in Common Docs
do i understand correctly that there is no way to unskip an update without CLI?
Certainly no easy way, but having access to the CLI is a Good Thing ™️
i'll have to file a issue about that
weird to have a skip feature without an unskip functionality
not very good UX
Feature request, not an issue
i think it's an issue with UX
It's not an issue, if you open it as an issue expect it to be closed
It's a "real life" issue, but in the github workflow of HA it's a feature request because you want to add "new functionality". Issues are restricted to bugs i.e. existing code and functionality not working from a technical perspective
i see
UX issues are not yet a bug consideration @static bobcat... Though the UX is improving slowly (and being less YAML driven thankfully)
Issues are where something is supposed to work, but doesn't
And supposed to work, not as you'd like it to work, but as the developers intended 😉
update works again
can confirm
my ha wifi is not connecting to wifi ik i have done everything correct
Well, if you've already done everything correct, then I'm not sure we can be of any help.
What have you done? Can you explain the details so that we can see the potential errors in your configuration
I flashed a usb drive with ha os and another usb drive named config then a file called network then a txt named my network with uuid pass work and ssid then i removed the .txt and I plugged in both of the drives in the pi's usb port and booted it up and it did not show the ip of it
Are these the correct steps to follow to reinstall on a Blue. https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/odroid
Need to configure an SD card with new boot media
@empty bloom
help for this ^
someone
@spare cape I suggest you make a forum post as it seems no one is able to help immediately
ok
Does your pi not have an ethernet port?
it has but its not working means the chip has burnt
alternatively you can connect a screen and keyboard and do it from the command line
oh
I was confused by your description of two usb drives. Normally, you should flash an SD card and use that in the Pi
Are you booting from a USB flash drive?
oh yeah i forget to say that my sd card slot if broken too i got a good deal tho 10$ for rpi 4 2gb
i am using usb boot
eh, maybe a good deal. But you're not choosing to use it for a well suited purpose with all of these caveats
Hi! complete noob, first time using discord as well as trying to get HA to work on a new ODROID N2+ that i just plugged in. I tried accessing via network but homeassistant.local refused to connect... what gives? where can i go for help?
Try the LAN IP and port 8123?
If you can hook up a keyboard and monitor then somebody will likely be able to talk you through troubleshooting
Does the odroid IP address appear in your router
i found a device on my network called "homeassistant" so i'm guessing that's it... that's the IP address i tried
What does that_ip_address:4357 show?
And by "via network" I assume you're using a browser, but should check just in case
i'm on a PC now, but i found the device using my mesh wifi app (Amplifi). under "devices" i found a device called "homeassistant" and plugged that IP address into my PC browser http://192.168.126.249:8123
Ok and when you replace 8123 with 4357?
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
@golden egret reboot or connect monitor and keyboard. Doesn't read like it's actually connected
thank you for the suggestion. i connected to monitor and booted up. i receive repeated error message: Cannot connect to the Dop ker daemon at unix://usr/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
Docker not Dop ker *
it just feels broken that you can press a button accidentally and break a feature
It's not broken, you dismissed it, so it went away until the next release
Hello. I’m unable to integrate Insteon Hub to HA
Says failed to connect
Looked up IP on my google router. Typed port, username and password found on back of Hub. No dice
Hi, I'm having the same new setup issue as @golden egret - new ODROID device arrived today, plugged it in, no URLs work including IP:8123 or 4357. I expected out-of-the-box to work hence why purchased it, but perhaps have wrong expectation. I don't see an Odroid room here - wondering is this the correct place to ask or is there better room? Or should I ask ameridroid for info?
Same type of error message on the screen as @golden egret sees, but slightly different:
"Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?"
Wonder if this latest batch of Odroids has a config issue(?).
@rare hill there is not a channel for each type of device out there, and that's the exact same message. tcosupreme had a typo
Do you have a keyboard attached?
Thanks for verifying. Yes I do.
Yes its the OS
Been looking around the dirs; wondering if you or others have suggestion on config files to review or hints on what's wrong for fixing?
Question - with a Raspberry Pi 4, can I install the Home Assistant Operating System on an external USB based SSD drive? I know that I can set up the Pi 4 to boot from an SSD, but will it work with HAOS?
It can be sensitive to the right drive and right enclosure/controller, but yes
Or you can keep the read only stuff on the SD, and move the read/write Data partition to an external
This is less sensitive
That's a great idea! Thank you @crude inlet
I have a small travel USB SSD, and it seems to break every few months.
I have Ubuntu on there now, but I lost the machine again, so I was trying to figure out how to work around it.
You can move the partition from the UI once your system is up
It has to be a drive which is larger than the current drive (SD)
That's good to know. It's a 250GB SSD so it'll be bigger than the SD card for sure.
Can I install applications (plugins and devices) to the external disk?
only through the usual method which is add-ons
okay.
you can't add your own random software packages
And from what It looks like, I can install other docker containers on the machine? I'd like to host my Ubiquity Cloud key on it as well.
There is a unifi add-on already
okay, so I could install Unifi add on and any other HA addons.
that's all I really want on the machine.
I don't care to mix my networking with my HA machine, but a lot of people do
Agreed, but I don't have enough reliable machines to spread them out.
Thank you for your help. I'm going to get a powered hub to see if that helps with the reliability of the SSD drive and set the machine up to boot from an SD card.
running into a problem . anyone able to elaborate on said problem?

More advice/help needed re issue with HA Blue and supervisor not having host internet access that I got help with yesterday
I reflashed the Blue following https://www.home-assistant.io/common-tasks/os#flashing-an-odroid-n2 which worked ok, apart from I got message saying PetitbootFaile, dropping to a shell. I proceeded given I wanted to Exit to Shell anyway. The prompted kept indenting each line, but otherwise reflash completed fine (haos_odroid-n2-7.6.img.xz) . Switched boot back from SPI to MMC and restarted with everything connected. I get the HA splash screen saying it is being prepared, but it just hangs on that screen. Clicking on the blue circle to view the log, has a similar error message to original - supervisor has no host internet connection.
Would really appreciate help to talk me through what I can try next. I've gone from a working HA Blue that couldn't update to now not being able to access at all so am in a pickle.
hey guys
Is there a way to reset host name by ha server? Because i tried local on server to acess the server and i cant get it. I tried homeassistant, ip local, ip extern, duckdns domain and i cant! Maybe i did some wrong step that broke my server.
i tried both
i remember to type https://mydomain.duckdns.org
@crude inlet strange that url on server shows homeassistant.local.local:8123
shows it where?
@valid heart The box needs internet. What does ha network info show?
u r corrected, using https it works. thanks
Hi all, is it possible to install Home Assistant to a Proxmox LXC container? I've been playing around with LXC containers more and more and they seem like a nice lightweight alternative to a VM.
Not HAOS, but otherwise yes - though at that point you'd be better off just using Docker
Hm, I'd like the add-ons and backup so if that isn't possible in LXC, then I'm likely not interested
add-ons are other containers you can find for yourself.
I'm trying to install Home assistant on ProxMox but once I try to boot the installation image it doesn't boot:
no images allowed?
I followed the following guide:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42gopfIrPBY
I tried several video's and they actually all do the same steps which I replicated
trying to update Supervisor but wont install fails. I cant install add ons because it says system is not healthy. Do I need to add some code to the configuration file or what?
unless you did something to the system to make it non-standard on purpose, you can try running ha su repair from ssh
alright thanks i'll try
Cant SSH connection refused
did you set it up?
setup what? I tried to ssh my username at the ip address
did you set up ssh?
no not sure is there an option to allow this oh wait yeah I know what you mean, i forgot I dont think I did might have to start over now. I used pi imager so i guess i would have to set that up before flashing to usb stick?
i cant install any addons thats the whole problem
ill try again but it wont let me instll because it says system not healthy update supervisor
Anyone can help?

Did you try making a vm with the "Generic x86-64" Home Assistant image? That needs bios as UEFI + EFI disk. Or just use a script from here: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/
I tried the following image
https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux
- KVM (.qcow2)
I also tried using that script before, without having success :/
A vm was created but no OS was on there
Did you check the boot order from options? You could create the vm by hand using the generic image with uefi settings
I tried the script and it worked fine with advanced settings
Found the fix!
'If you encounter an error booting your vm that ends in Shell written in yellow letters... Try disabling "Pre-Enroll keys" at the end of System's tab, right where you select UEFI bios when creating the vm.'
Hi, yesterday i upgraded my HAOS to 2022.4.7 and now i cant open my esphome dashboard etc.
Looking at it it seems that the url is missing the domain name.
like 27 Apr 00:06:07 - [info] [server:Home Assistant] Connecting to http://supervisor/core
that should have been http://lumrasp7.local/supervisor/core
has someone a fix for this?
This issue happened again after a restart. I tried making a whole new virtual machine on virtual box and reinstall home assistant and restoring from a backup but that did not solve the problem
A Docker install would eliminate that issue....
is there a way to stop HA from loosing Addons and Resgisteries.. every so often either from an update or HA or whatever they gone.. and pain to re add Community Apps and figure what other addons and registeries i have added... what causes it to loose it.. so many people have this issue when you google search it but i cant find anyone to resolve it
Hi all. Today I reinstalled my hassio on a SSD and restored from backup. Nice to get rid of the SD card. All working fine except randomly after everything has been working for hours I saw everything becoming unavailable in the logs and then becoming available again. And it's not only wifi devices even add-ons etc.
Hello, Can this be run on a raspberry pi 2 b?
Yes, but just because it can doesn’t mean you should.
It will run fairly well, but things will slow down once you get a bunch of things going on.
It's not supported. The docs says 3 or 4. While it may run on older hardware it's going to be more difficult if you run into issues. Personally I'd recommend at least a 4 with an SSD.
Thanks for all the replies.
Hi Guys, I am trying to install the haos on proxmox ... the downloaded qcow2 file is not bale to boot ... and using the latest qcow file ... haos_ova-7.6.qcow2
am following this video ... has anything changed in the new version ?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42gopfIrPBY
Follow https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/alternative in case that 2 year old video is outdated
thanks for the reply... i hae downloaded the qcow2 file from there only ... my console shows this ..
am not able to share the image .. how do i share it pls
Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.
Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.
You've configured it for UEFI?
hi, I am using a raspi 4 as host for a docker HA installation. Due to timing I started with an 32bit RaspiOS but now I have to migrate to 64bit...what would be the best way to do this without loosing all my config and devices?
You presumably already back up your install?
yes but the 64bit installation is running on another SD card
I also already docker-composed a new HA container on the 64Bit SD and then tried to feed my old config and .storage data into this but the data asn't recognized by the new installaiton
If you're keeping the backups on the same SD card then you're not really doing backups
You need to "feed" it the entire contents of the config folder - all the hidden files and folders too
Basically, copy/restore them to the new SD card, map that location as the /config volume, and go
i copied everything I can see when i do a "ls -a"
ok that is what I thought I have done
maybe I give it another try
tar up the config folder, then extract that on the new install
Or heck, restore the backup
do i need to tar it or is a cp -r also sufficient?
(Sorry I am not really a linux pro :/ )
Where are you copying it to?
NAS
And you've checked that what you copy to the NAS makes it there unchanged - no files get renamed
With a tar you've removed a layer of potential issues
Yes
And you can check the contents after you've made it
tar cpf /my/new.tar /path/to/config
tar tf /my/new.tar
I'd also check to see that you can restore those backups
arg...seems that this will be much work...just discovered that the migration of my influxDB won't be easy aswell :/
You should be able to back that up and restore it too
That's the case for ... everything really
I know
If you can't then it points to the fact that your existing backup strategy is a failure
that's totally true
Better to learn that this way 😄
as always...this was originally a quick setup
and also my first steps with docker
back than I didn't understand the power of docker-compose and the importance of clear data/config volumes
Hi, I can't access my home assistant via web ui, neither homeassistant.local (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN) nor ip (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED) work. I can SSH without issues. I tried restarting it, restarting the modem, accessing from laptop or from mobile or from private tab, nothing helps. I can access Observer URL (4357) works and it says that supervisor is connected, supported and healthy. What can I try? Problem started today, it was working ok since I installed it (few days) and nothing changed.
great...now it works...but I think I have to prepare the migration a little longer to ensure a good setup for the future 😉
i just restored my working instance of home assistant on rpi4 to a proxmox vm and the switch was so seamless ... kudos to the devs .. 🤟

Ta. Is this the right place to try and establish what is wrong? Or if not, could you direct me
Yes, it most likely is the right place
You just need folks who understand HAOS to be around
👍 I'll check back in later and try again (with shorter summary!)
how do i find my server url so HA can start
HA doesn't need a URL to start

Anyone know why I cant install any addons in HAOS I have supervisor and says everything is healthy. I keep getting server 500 error every time I try to install an addon. I tried changing DNS settings on my router to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4., also tried to restart HAOS multiple times. Not sure what else to try. I cant SSH into my Pi either.
Got it had to change DNS settings
@young halo were you restarting HA or rebooting the host?
i really dont know where to ask this but I was wondering if this psu for my pi is sufficient enough to run homeassistant os?

running homeasistant core has some features lacking that i need ( mostly mqtt and mosquitto addon for iot link ) also can i run mosquitto broker and pi-hole ad blocker?
this is my first time running/setting up home assistant
Hello, was looking at some HA setups and saw someone using "HASSIO Supervisor, Docker Image", I am currently just using the standard docker image, but would like to know how I could switch to this (Im fine nuking my setup, was planning to redo it anyways), are there any guides to use an image like this and is there a link to one?
I'm not sure how to unpack that description
your options are these: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/#compare-installation-methods
and it kinda sounds like Supervised, which nobody here would recommend
Is it possible to install supervised in docker/ is there an image for it?
why is supervised not recommended?
no
Both Supervised and HA OS are an ecosystem of Docker containers that are managed. The former is installed by you on Ubuntu and the latter is installed on bare metal or in a VM
If you follow the rules, the functionality will be identical. You'll just be responsible for maintaining the OS in Supervised for no additional benefit
Ok... My current setup uses proxmox to divvy up my hardware, would installing HAOS be a better option than installing supervised on my existing machine?
yes
Cool, I'll give it a try, thanks for your help
Hey Ive had homeassistant for six years everything working fine until my one server decided to crap out so moved over to a brand new install method ie was unsupported before but os over kvm now. I'm running into issues where during boot the network manager is not able to start. Anyone have any ideas?
im running 4 other kvm vms and none of them have this problem
ignore me i am an idiot
@ripe rampart what was it?
So I have an old server with a failing disk and it was starting to suffer performance issues so i moved homeassistant to a new server using kvm instead of a self managed os that I had before. After I got it running I shut down the old server but it was running my dhcp for that subnet/vlan. Then the new homeassistant shut down for some reason, booted it back up it couldnt connect to internet was like thats strange. Took my trying another vm rebooting it seeing it had the same problem to realize that i had turned off my dhcp.
I need to just use manual static for my stuff at this point.
Are there any known issues updating? I haven't been able to update in months, stuck on 2022.2.9. Running in a VM.

Getting this error
22-04-29 10:00:07 ERROR (SyncWorker_3) [supervisor.docker.interface] Can't install ghcr.io/home-assistant/qemux86-64-homeassistant:2022.4.7: 500 Server Error for http+docker://localhost/v1.41/images/create?tag=2022.4.7&fromImage=ghcr.io%2Fhome-assistant%2Fqemux86-64-homeassistant&platform=linux%2Famd64: Internal Server Error ("Get https://ghcr.io/v2/: dial tcp: lookup ghcr.io on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:52969->[::1]:53: read: connection refused")
that's a DNS issue
perhaps you have a PiHole or Adguard or something that was serving as a DNS server, and you deleted it, killed it, etc.
whatever happened, it's no longer listening
I do have a PiHole, but it's disabled at the moment.
then I recommend starting with that
The PiHole works fine when its enabled. I thought there was a chance it may be blocking so I disabled it from blocking anything. I've even changed the DNS on the HA VM to use Google and it still errors.
it's pointing at a DNS server that isn't listening for connections
or it just has general networking issues
this part is quite clear about that:
"Get https://ghcr.io/v2/: dial tcp: lookup ghcr.io on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:52969->[::1]:53: read: connection refused"
Thanks for your help, nmcli was showing DNS to be blank.
I am really struggling with the generic x86 installation of HAOS. I've been going through guides and googling my issue for hours now and it' always dead ends. Which is weird...cause you'd think lots of people who try it out hardware they have laying around would run into this issue....
balena etcher will not run if I use ubuntu live to get the image onto the internal hdd of my old laptop.
I have tried the 'normal' way (downloading the appimage, unzipping, checking that mark in the properties to allow it to run as a program), as well as via terminal where it complains about a missing component - which isn't missing though)
The unsupported method is kind of quirky to get working. I did it so long ago don't remember exactly how I did it. I recently just switch to having it in a vm
Can you remove the internal drive and flash it directly?
@lost mural
You don't even need etcher
Open the disks utility in ubuntu and you can write the image to the internal drive
ha. I am coming from the other direction. I tried out a docker container install on ubuntu on this laptop for a couple of weeks. but it was really frustrating how difficult it made any modifications for me as a noob. I wanted the plain-jain install to get to know it.
i actually found this method googling around after a few hours, too. but then it just boots into a blank 'grub rescue' screen. 'unknown file system'
what a struggle I am going through, just to test it out while i wait for the RPi with a 5 month lead time 😬
Installation of HA onto Android TV Box Question
i just gave up on docker after trying for 2 weeks cause using HA was so painful as I learn
So I am trying to run HA on a raspberry pi 2, I flashed the latest image using the raspberry pi imager so that I could set up wifi, but when I boot it up the cli hangs and goes into emergency mode and the web interface doesnt work. Is this a known issue or am I just dumb? Thanks!
You did use the (hard to find) image for the Pi2?
Try using the stable release, not the release candidate
Where do I find those?
Gotcha I found it
Flashing to sd card now
Side note wait until kernel time synchronized hangs until it reaches the time limit
I don't think the HAOS has support for setting wifi credentials using the piimager
Oh ok
this likely means no internet
The cli crashed again
Is ethernet not possible?
I'll try Ethernet
One less variable to worry about
Wandering if someone can help me. I bought an ameriDroid device that has Home-Assistant pre-installed so I could integrate an out of business device (insteon) with it. I tried integrating Insteon but it fails every time I try. I used the IP address for the device which I got from the Xfinity app, It also asked for signin and password which I got from the back of the insteon device. Any help would be appreciated
Wondering*
What version (number) of HA is on that ameriDroid?
XU4
That's not the version of HA
ODdROID-XU4
Discussion about how to install Home Assistant, and issues with the install itself. Make sure to mention which type of installation you have. If you're not sure of your installation method, check under Info in the System Health Card (https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/info/)
Ugh, this is my weakness. I'm have a plug and play competency anything more, I am useless...
Home assistant is installed and it sees many of my other smart devices but not Insteon
when I click integrate, scroll to insteon input my info it gives an error
#integrations-archived is the channel that can help with the integration of Insteon, but you need to share the error (over there)
thank you!
You are likely running older versions too.
ameriDroid would have flashed the eMMCs in batches
I'm worried it will even be 2021.4 or so
Go here https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/info/ and see where it takes you
should take you to page showing what versions you have of HA
Using Ethernet worked, thanks
So from what I gather, the way to get HA installed on something like my Intel NUC, is to first make a bootable stick with Ubuntu or similar on it and then once booted, copy HA to the boot medium?
I did just try putting the HA usb stick I made in, and it booted up and I'm now on the screen where it asks me to specify credentials, but I'm assuming that its just working on the USB drive as it never asked where to install to (ie. the internal drive)
hi sorry for the late reply but i followed this guide https://siytek.com/install-home-assistant-on-raspbian/#Installing_Home_Assistant
this is pretty much where I am failing. Your description sounds a bit contradictory to me, but I think you had it right in your first sentence, but then actually did it wrong in your second. is your usb a bootable HAOS, or ubuntu live? Sounds to me like you put the HAOS image on there. You want to run ubuntu live from the usb, then put the HAOS image on the internal drive. Either via balena etcher, or you could also use (gnome) disks (the partition manager) to get the HAOS image onto the internal hdd.
If you figure out how to do that though, let me know. Cause that is exactly where I am at a dead end. The documentation just non-chalantly says* 'Download and start Balena Etcher.'* If only....
tbh, in your case - with a NUC that should allow for easy access - I'd go the other route and just take the internal drive to your main PC, and use balena etcher to get the HAOS image on there. Unfortunately, that's not really possible with my spare laptop
You could also take the drive out and connect it directly to the machine you're imaging with and save yourself going via multiple OS's to get there. I assume you didn't have the leads to just do that?
I needed to flash HA to an internal 2.5" SSD - which wasn't detected by Balena Etcher. I tried the Ubuntu live CD method but was having a lot of issues formatting the SSD. I ended up just doing the process in Windows using this tool - worked like a charm! https://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/
I've tried a new fresh installation and this has happened again. Tried having the vdi on a different hard drive and still happens does anyone have any advice
I booted with an Ubuntu Live USB and downloaded Etcher, but it won't run. Missing Libfuse2. Can't seem to install it, the package can't be found hrmm
Did you do an apt update first?
I seem to have quite high CPU load on the Home Assistant OS and not the HA instance. Seem like resolved get hit alot as well as the systemd-journald - any ideas why the NUC idle on about 30% CPU? (no cameras running on this NUC FYI)
@keen fjord: What monitoring tool are you using? Obnoxiously many monitoring tools themselves can use an appreciable amount of cpu, or worse, do things that can cause other components to use an annoying amount of cpu.
Of course if you are only using something like top in the host shell to see these figures, then we can rule out the monitoring tool.
Ok, good, on a nuc they likely won’t account for more that perhaps 5% tops. Have you tried the journal, to see if something is spamming it?
yes journalctl is flooded

and so on
Ok, well that explains the high cpu usage. And resolved would otherwise be weird, as not a lot on halos uses it. But now we need to figure out why resolved thinks there is a conflict.
What are the io addresses on the host? I’m guessing that one listed in the logs is not there?

there is where the log starts
Do you have some device running an mdns repeater or reflector? I’m trying to figure out some reason why resolved would see an mdns packet with those random number appended hostnames but think it is a conflict, rather than being its own packet just accidentally redelivered to itself. (Unless the code assumes that is impossible?)
only mdns im running is on the unifi server
I think I need to look at this tomorrow where I can check more logs
and you don't actually have multiple homeassistant instances with the same hostname?
I see an older issue on the OS repo with exactly this problem
Even if he did the semi-random increments appended to the hostname should avoid that.
Yeah I see that issue too
hm yeah true
But the unifi reflector/repeater should not be sending the mdns packets back on the same vlan as they went out on.
Is this nuc perhaps attached to the network on multiple vlans (perhaps trying to segregate IOT devices from main internet, and putting the home assistant box on both? If so, then perhaps systems-resolved does not handle repeated mdns packets from one interface returning on a different interface?
No dual home assistant no
Ha finds one extra vlan in auto config yes
I can try to lock down the port to one vlan, but that might be an issue with connecting to vlan iot stuff then
Hey everybody. I have HA going but I can only access through a non-mobile browser after clicking through all the untrusted website warnings. Mobile app doesn't work at all. Any ideas what is going on?
The untrusted website means that you're doing SSL in HA and not accessing it with the hostname in the certificate
Don't do that
Hmm ok. Not sure how that happened as this happens right away from a clean install of the HA image to the SD card. I will look into the cert.
It can't happen right away, unless you have a proxy server in the loop, or you're restoring a backup
Hi any ideas why I can't just take my mSD card from my 3B+ and stick it into my RPi4? It will not boot, or at least I can't connect via HTTP anymore. Can'T find it in my routers wireless networks. Wired the same problem. For other example I took my mSD card from the even older 3B from my 3d printer and put it into the 4. Works fine.
Using HAOS
because there are different HAOS images for each Pi
there is not one universal one like there is for RpiOS
you'd need to make a backup on Rpi3, download it, then flash the Rpi4 image and restore your backup to it
yeah thanks, worked well. Just had to get a free mSD card unless it'S just a test at the moment 😉
Not sure how I did that. I removed the SSL stuff in the yaml and I can access everything fine now. Thanks for the pointer.
Obviously though if you have opened your HA to the world by port forwarding you do need certificates for SSL
If you haven't then it's fine
Hello
after HA upgrade
I got the following errors:
2022-05-01 11:25:42 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for mjpeg: No setup or config entry setup function defined.
2022-05-01 11:25:42 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for generic: No setup or config entry setup function defined.
2022-05-01 11:25:44 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Error importing platform config_flow from integration sun to set up sun configuration entry: No module named 'homeassistant.components.sun.config_flow'
how to fix them?
I was on 2021.12.10 before
I upgraded to 2022 but I decided to go back to 2021.12.10
2022.what?
Check the log file to see what the problem is?
It may be quicker to switch to using Container
I find only that error in log
the one I pasted
any idea on how to fix?
I'd like not to switch to Container
Try renaming the old venv and building it fresh
Deleting .storage/ will break your HA
That would be not a good idea
If you followed the docs then /srv/homeassistant is your venv
but this way I delete all files like config/uilovelace etc...
what does this mean?
ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for mjpeg: No setup or config entry setup function defined
It probably points to a problem with the version of Python or the requirements (libraries)
You know, you'd probably be up and running on Docker by now
😦 I don't understand what you're trying to say
and I'd like a quick fix
to make it working again
as it was working before...
How can you call "quick" a total re-installation of HA? 😦
elif not hasattr(component, "async_setup_entry"):
log_error("No setup or config entry setup function defined.")
return False
what does it mean?
this is the piece of code firing the error
It's pulling a container and start it... that's not a total re-installation. All your config remains
Slow is to "re-install" - as I've recommended repeatedly
Oh, and you are on Python 3.9 for that venv?
#551864459891703809 message covers how to migrate from Core to Container
Strange. The DNS issue IS VLAN related. If I turn the VLAN profile to just one tag to HA it doesnt log the DNS craze, but if I open up for all tags (all networks) it goes crazy. I wonder if this could be an OS issue as now I can just access VLAN 100, not 101 etc where the IOT stuff are
since a few months my HA does not restart when i press the restart button
also when i try to install an update it refuses to do so.
in order to restart or install updates i have to physically cut power to the Pi and after a cold boot it is able to install updates
i use node red for automations and that gets slow aswell from time to time
What's your install method?
OS on RPI 3b+
Could be an SD card failing issue, but check the OS and Core logs
not much to see in the logs yet
also cant reboot right now cuz zigbee2mqtt is updating a bulb firmware
It may also be you're low on RAM, with all that on one Pi3
Not sure, I don't use HAOS
there is a system monitor integration that i can install via the config file
still waiting on that bult to update tho
honestly i might be asking too much from the small Pi
This is the node red page dedicated to the kitchen lights automation
anything specefic you wanna see log wise?
I'd go looking for any errors or warnings that point to issues...
Without knowing what's actually wrong it's impossible to say exactly what to look for, and if we knew exactly what was wrong you wouldn't need to go looking...

I'm guessing you haven't run a ha core check ever 
2022-05-01 13:45:38 WARNING (SyncWorker_0) [homeassistant.util.yaml.loader] YAML file /config/configuration.yaml contains duplicate key "group". Check lines 10 and 17

wouldnt even know what that check would be
Always run the configuration check command when you make changes. Don't trust the UI check - it misses some problems.
- HAOS & Supervised use
ha core check - Container uses
dockercommands - Core requires you to activate the venv first
oh
Run in the terminal
i always do the ui check yes
You may have noticed that some of group and automations are missing
its processingh
It takes a little longer since it does a proper check
i did notice that when i tried to make an automation in the HA GUI, it doesnt save
i never use the regular automation tho since i do everything in node red
https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/devices/ explains how to have multiple group: (etc) entries in YAML
i guess i broke alot trying to get stuff working
Line 17 should be something like
group whatever:
Line 75 should be similar
Though, for light you can/should use a light.group instead, so you get a light entity
hmm
group home:
home:
name: Home
entities:
- device_tracker.note_20
- device_tracker.s10
so like this instead of only doing group:

Yup, and home can be anything
Whatever you put there is ignored, it just has to exist
okay
and then make a seperate group entry for every group i need instead of placing everything under one line
