Good set of videos chuck. Keep up the great work. I started with HA on a pi 4 and am now running my production version of HA in a VM on proxmox. Looking good 😀

Thanks! Felt a refresh was worth it. I also started with a Pi and am now on a VM on Unraid.

Hey, I like the way to created this video, very easy to follow for a new user. You help the user go from point A to B with easy explanation. Hopefully we can see more of these kind of videos. Just a shout out to you.

A couple of comments - First, thanks for the awesome video ... Second, there are a couple of "gotchas" with older UEFI bioses. The first is that they default to legacy bios - if you boot to the Ubuntu live USB, the default may be to use the legacy mode - in this case, you can not install HA in UEFI mode - to get around this, when booting the Ubuntu live disk, hit F11 (or F12) to bring up the boot menu and explictly select the UEFI choice for your USB stick. Then follow the directions. You will then probably have to explicitly enable the EFI boot as specified in the homeassistant instructions using efibootmgr

Good callout! I've done this install on several machines and haven't had that "gotcha" yet, but thanks for sharing the steps! Hope it didn't trip you up!

Chuck, the timing is perfect. Today I received a usb to sata adapter and I'm going to give this a whirl. I do have a question about IP addresses. My intention is to set up a HA network in a motorhome. Sometimes it will connect with my home network, but when we are on the road I don't see a need for a connections. Being able to have a completely local "smart home network" is one of the main reasons I wanted to use HA. My question is, If for some reason I do need to connect to a live network in the future on the road will there be any IP conflict issues? We have not figured out our mobile internet yet and that will be down the road so to speak, for now it will just be cell phones. Again timing is perfect, saw your earlier video and kept checking back to see if you had an update to that. Definitely going to subscribe and like as soon as I send this, Thank You. John

Hey! Glad this got out in time, I’ve probably spent too much time editing. So I don’t have a perfect answer for this - networking is a bit of a weak spot for me. I think it should be fine if your subnet is different than the one on the WiFi you are connecting to. But your local ip shouldn’t be a problem when hopping around networks with a travel router, I wouldn’t think. I wouldn’t plan on connecting your HA directly to public WiFi without a vpn between the two though

Hi Chuck, I have installed HA on my laptop without using Ubuntu. I used Balena Etcher to install it directly on the hard drive. Although I can access the internet through Ethernet, the built-in WiFi adapter is not recognized by HA. Do you have any thoughts on how to fix this issue? Very helpful Video. Thank you!

@ChuckBuilds 2 ай бұрын

I’d make sure it’s enabled in your bios first, then I’d search the forums for anyone with the same pc as you. It’s possible it doesn’t have drivers for it

Solved went from wireless to cat 5 to router switch. I followed install on a Optiplex 3050 following all your instructions. Everything went as expected except after restart I am getting [WARN] Home Assistant CLI not starting!. Jumping into emergency mode and blinking cursor. Any ideas? Reinstall? I appreciate any help absolute newbe to HA. Thanks Neil Update Fail after - A start job is running for Wait Until Kernel Time Sycnhronized { Time counter counting up}

I did a quick search and it might be an issue with your system time not matching? Sounds kind of strange to me but make sure you’re connected to the internet when installing and possibly try again on a different usb drive. Keep me posted and I’ll try to help! Might be worth checking your bios time too

Idk I’m stuck at the home assistant command line page. How were you jumping back to your regular OS to use the internet? No matter what Indo it just boots to this home assist command line page

@ChuckBuilds Ай бұрын

The web browser you saw was a separate computer, when you get to the HomeAssistant Command line with the IP, you’re done. Go to another device to access home assistant

Hi, which board is faster raspberry 5 or Dell optiplex?

@ChuckBuilds 3 ай бұрын

It would depend on which dell optiplex you get. A raspberry Pi 5 would be a good host for a basic HomeAssistant install but you want to be sure to install it onto an SSD and not an SD card.

I followed all the steps using Ubuntu with a Dell OptiPlex 3050 i3-7100T 3.4GHz 16GB 240GB SSD to get stuck after "Waiting for the Home Assistant CLI to be ready…” with “[WARN] Home Assistant CLI not starting! Jump into emergency console…” followed by a line beginning with # . I wrote the disk image twice on the SSD drive. Both times I got the same answer. I typed Login several times as suggested on other sites to always get the same result. I waited for long time home assistance will never load. Is there any command that needs to be used to initiate Home Assistant?.

@ChuckBuilds 15 күн бұрын

That's interesting. I hate to say it this way but have you restarted it when that error shows? I've only gotten that once or twice and a restart resolved it. If you still don't have luck you'll need to access the log files on the machine to see what is causing it. Let me know if I can help, sorry that you're having that error.

@hechmi 14 күн бұрын

. I was using Wi-Fi and the error disappeared when I used a wired connection to the router. I have HA now and I’m learning the ropes. Thank you for the nice and clear instructions.
