Access issues with GPIO and Debian (supervised)

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have a binary sensor to access GPIO pin 18 on my Rpi4. This was working well with Rasbian OS. Now I switched to Debian (supervised) and this sensor does not work anymore. Below is the error message from th elogfile, showing an error while accessing the GPIO.

Is there anything I need to configure for GPIO access?

Hi @sbe,

Did you find a solution to this problem?
I’m facing the exact same issues on Debian 10 in supervised mode.

Hi @KerTana,

yes, my solution was to install HA supervised on Raspberry OS. I know, it’s unsupported.
