I successfully installed HA 12.4 on a Thin Client and I got the IP address page and everything.
When trying to access the IP address + “:8123” on my desktop, it gives me a “site cannot be reached” page. Same when I try “homeassistant.local:8123”.
I pinged the IP and I’m getting a response. Both the desktop and Thin Client are plugged in via ethernet to a switch.
Any suggestions on what needs to be fixed?
For what its worth (if relevant), I installed HA via a VM on this desktop when first diving into HA. Not sure if that affects anything. I uninstalled everything before setting up the Thin Client.
can you ping that address and get a reply
Make sure you know the current IP address from your HA and preferably make it a fixed one instead of distributed by DHCP.
I wonder if http://homeassistant.local:8123 is not referring to the old install, don’t know how mDNS works.
If you don’t add the protocol in front of an address, your browser might default to httpS
As @francisp says: connect at least a monitor to the thin client, so you can see what is going on and what the current IP is if you have no other ways to find out
The thin client boots no problem. Observer works too. See below.
I’m completely lost on what is wrong. Doing both “192.168.1.59:8123” and “homeasssitant.local:8123” on my desktop doesn’t work. Shows me a “Cannot reach” page
When waiting for my thin client to be shipped, I set up HA on my desktop by using virtual box to just get familiar with dashboards, etc.
I only mentioned that because I wasn’t sure if doing that is now somehow screwing up my ability to access HA now on the same desktop after I set up the thin client
You still haven’t said HOW you installed Home Assistant. How: HAOS, Core, Supervised? Host: Bare Metal, Container, Virtual OS?
If you want to save any automations or installed integrations from the test installation, just do a full backup- save the .tar file to a thumbdrive. Turn off the test system because they can’t both be at homeassistant.local (this will confuse MDNS). Turn on the new installation and do a restore.
I don’t want to do any of that. I want to start fresh with the thin client. I simply mentioned the virtual box as background in case it was what was causing me being unable to connect to the IP.
Please see my prior comments. I cannot connect to the IP address whatsoever
