Brand NEW USER

Hi, I am so new, most of this is over my head, so patience is appreciated. I have installed Home Assitant on my Raspberry Pi4. The monitor has the welcome. I went to another computer on same network and did homeassistant.local:8123, keep saying cant connect, then all of the sudden, I get a message Preparing Home Assistant ( can take up to 20 minutes) its been well over an hour. I never got the page to create an account… Ive not touched Pi, but I have closed the browser and tried doing the ha local again and it does the same thing…

Do you know the IPv4 address (192.168.35.100 as example). You can try IPv4:8123 and see it that takes you to the GUI

it shows to be 192.168.1.10/24 but when I type that with it says invalid

To be explicit this does not work? The /24 is the mask.

192.168.1.10:8123

You can also try

http://192.168.1.10:8123

I tried still goes to the same page… Im trying to show you the error Im getting but it wont let me post it
…22-02-12 12:53:53 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.homeassistant.core] Error on Home Assistant installation. Retry in 30sec

How do I fix that?

It looks like something went wrong on the installation. Bad SD card??? SD Card too small???

Can you ping the pi?

what does ping mean? Really new at this

I will assume you run windows or mac.

ping allows you to send packets to the computer to see if it is alive on the network.

ping 192.168.1.10

you should see something like this:

I am in linux and don’t have a 192.168.1.10 on my network. I do have a 161 and you can see that it transmitted 4 packets.

Can you get to a terminal? If you can, type ping 192.168.1.10 and see what you get.

On the PI, it says error while executingrootCMD

Can you go the machine where you have the browser you are trying to use and ping the pi.

When I type it on the computer that’s on network it says site cant be reached

So your pi is not on the network. Are you ethernet or wifi to your pi?

I am ethernet

So can you go to your router and see if the pi is connected?

Did you perhaps set the pi ip static and the router is DHCP?

its connected to router, I just plug it in didn’t make any adjustments

Do you have a software tool to look at the connection in the router?

From the pi can you ping your router? Probably 192.168.1.1.

Im not finding anything…check the post above this one… I have netgear, it is showing that raspberry pi is hardwired

How do you set parameters on the router?

Can you tell me what your setup is and what hardware you have.
