Cannot connect to arduino uno with home assistant

Configuration
1

Hello, I’ve installed in my arduino uno connected to my raspberry pi 3.
I try connect them both with the config on the sample page of the home assistant website (Removed integration - Home Assistant) but every time i try i get the error on the home assistant homepage “Invalid config”

Components and platforms could not be set up arduino please check you config.

My config file is:

homeassistant:

Name of the location where Home Assistant is running

name: Home

Location required to calculate the time the sun rises and sets

latitude: xxx

Impacts weather/sunrise data (altitude above sea level in meters)

elevation: 3

metric for Metric, imperial for Imperial

What could be wrong?

thanks :slight_smile:

PS; i’m a noobie just started

are you sure that your arduino is connected to /dev/ttyACM0?

The arduinio page show how to determine the correct por (about halfway down):

Also when posting your config reference the first part of the post linked below. Following those instructions helps preserve the formatting so it can also be checked. Formatting can often break a config file and it helps to post it for other to check.

Hi silvrr, Thanks for the quick response. Yes i’m sure that it is connected to /dev/ttyAMC0 because that the only one that appears extra if i disconnect the arduino and connect it and see the available /dev/tty*

Does some one onderstand what is missing? i guess the firmata but i;ve installed the standardFirmata to the raspberry pi

Thanks :slight_smile:
