Well, HAOS or Container is personal preference... without knowing why you think you want to change nobody can say more than that 😉

I'm guessing, I start with add intergrations and blueprints?

Both of which are features of HA itself, not the install method

ok, I pulled my rpi4 sdcard and plugged a 500 gb sdd and just finished the rpi debian install. I belive in the Kiss system, easy to create, easy to maintain, easy to backup, and easy to restore. I'm all ears.

Debian+Docker is the way

HA Container? So far I think the documentation is sparse and requires lots research to install and configure.

snow hedge Apr 28, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

Yes

#

The documentation for installing other software isn't on HA to solve, which is why it's sparse if you're looking in the HA docs

I worked for a major computer company for 10 years and wrote 100's of technical how to's for their support site... so you might know where i've been and where I'm coming from

#

I just trying to build a house, I've done most of it by myself. It sucked with some wood products when up 200%, contractors with too much work can see ya in 6 months, covid , product shortage... HA is just part of the build.

So.... what are you looking for when you say

So far I think the documentation is sparse and requires lots research to install and configure

I wrote articles based on goals and how to get from start to finsh precisely, failure cost money and profits. https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/ With four installation products, do all the products have the same features and terminalogy, ie click setting , addons or is it a different name or way in the other three installation products.

#

Ok... and the point?

modern spade Apr 28, 2023, 1:58 PM

#

failure costs money and time (company) poor documentation costs customers.

snow hedge Apr 28, 2023, 1:58 PM

#

shrug

#

Feel free to help re-write HA's docs

#

Also, I think part of your question (I think it was a question) is answered at the bottom of that page

modern spade Apr 28, 2023, 2:02 PM

#

I have a house to build. see my avatar, that what i'm building, In some line of work, if you have to ask a question, you generally already know the answer.

#
