Installing Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 4 with an SSD has never been easier! In this video I will show you how to migrate your Home Assistant installation from a Raspberry Pi 4 with an SD card to a brand new install on an SSD, this video is for people who want to do a brand new install of Home Assistant, and those who also want to migrate their old installation too!

I've been following your channel for a while now and have taken the plunge to start with smarthome setups. Thanks for the great channel! However i'm following this guide - for a fresh new install on an SSD, and Raspberry Pi Imager is not showing my m2 sata storage as an option to image to. It's plugged directly into an m2 ssd slot in my pc. What am I doing wrong??

Wow. Let's step away from Home Assistant for a second. This is perhaps THE MOST SUCCINCT, CLEAREST tutorial/walkthrough of a setup process that I have ever seen. You hit on ALL the major and minor issues (what kind of SSD, brands, form factors, adapters, necessary items like spare SD card, https), quickly and directly, without getting bogged down, you step through everything without skipping a beat or requiring guessing/intuiting, and you expertly drop people in and out at different steps and forks (new installation, ethernet/wifi steps, etc.). I thought this video was masterfully done. I don't even have an SSD purchased for my Pi yet, but I now know exactly what I need to do and I may not even have to watch this video again as I perform the update. Superb job, Lewis!

Thanks Lewis. Just started HA and (following your advice (and links)) have just installed my Pi into an Argon one unit with 120gb kingston ssd. One thing you dont say is the word "patience" after installing your backup. I'm got so worried after my installed first reported that supervisor needed me to manually update (for me anyway) before my backup would actually work... and it seemed to take an eternity. BUT utlimately its working and is in a sexy case (not the orginal red/white one) and seems to be a bit faster (but that might be the "patience" I was lacking earlier), Thanks!

Thank you, I'd been wanting to do this for a while and this was a breeze. I went with a cheap entry-level NVME drive and an Orico M2PV-C3 enclosure. I picked the Patriot P310 drive because it was a brand and importantly because of its low advertised power consumption (2.38W full, 0.38W idle) so I do not need a USB hub. No issues booting and updating home assistant. Will report if I run into issues.

Thanks for the awesome videos. I can't help but batch watch them :-) Question if I may: I have been running HA for a year on my Synology NAS with InfluxDB and Grafana via Docker images. Seemingly though every time a HA update comes out the whole pack of cards comes tumbling down. As such I've gone for a RPi4 4GB to host HA as I feel its a more supported platform than Synology. My Question now is... Do I run InfluxDB and Grafana on the Pi or on my Synology or a mix? I'm angling toward Influx DB on the NAS but I'm be interested to know your thoughts. Assuming of course that I follow this very video and the PI is running from a SSD what are your recommendations? ;-) Thanks in Advance.

Then I placed this SSD into another USB case, and similar errors during boot. Lastly I put HDD drive into same external case, and it works from first try :=) Using old HDD is probably bad idea for performance, SD card might be better option?

Thanks from germany for your great videos on homeassistant. Isn' t it possible to store an image of the SD card and write that image on the SSD?

Thanks! You could but it's a bit overkill

If after migration to the SSD and restoring the backup, you find that all the Add-ons are grayed out, go to Settings/System/Hardware and peroform a system reboot. That fixed it for me.

Thanks for the video. I managed to put all togetherr, except one thing: the energy tab; it doesnt show the history I had. Shouldn't be included on the snapshot?

I'm not sure sorry I've never noticed that before

If I do a migration like this, will the backup/snapshot also restore the config for my Z-wave and Zigbee sticks from the HomeAssistant OS? I want to make sure I don't lose those as they were a bit of a pain to configure the first time.

I ordered the Argon case and an m.2 SSD, but forgot the usb cable. I’m now trying to figure out if I could use the Pi with something like Raspbian to write HA to the SSD.

Finally getting around to migrating. Looks like HA site now recommends using Balena Etcher and entering the URL they provide. The RPi Imager wants to install an old version 6.2 and the HA link is for 6.6 (32 or 64 bit, rp3 or rp4). I know there shouldn't be any performance differences for the 2 or 4 GB RP with the 64bit OS, but maybe worthwhile for future hardware upgrade?

Either or works, it's simple to update after anyways!

Does the Raspberry Pi Imager install the 32bit or the 64bit version of HA ?

Is it possible to install pi-hole on top of this? I've got this installed and working fine but am unable to install pihole from Terminal. Would it be better to install proxmox and run each in their own virtual machine? Or even use Docker? New to linux so not sure the best way forward.

Hi Lewis - it would be great to see an update for the Pi 5 😊

does this work on an external ssd drive? Or does it have to be an internal ssd drive with sata to usb adapter?

Setting up DHCP reservations for your Raspberry PI (And other things) will make it keep the same IP and you don't have to setup the IP addresses every time you re-flash.
