I’ve followed the instructions on the Home Assistant Installation page for the recommended RPI 3.
I created the CONFIG/network/my-network file and I can see both an ethernet and a wifi connection on my router.
I have connected the RPI to a monitor, keyboard & mouse and all is working fine.
But, when I try to connect, I get ‘the site can’t be reached’ message in response to either http://homeassistant.local:8123 or http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8123
I have tried and tried by searching google/utube etc. I even re-read the beginner’s guide. But I just can’t get past this.
So I’m reaching out and hopeful that someone who has encountered and solved this already is out there …
Welcome Paddy,
Whenever you experience an unanticipated behaviour on Home Assistant, your first port-of-call should be to have a look at the logs.
Along with your installation guide there should be steps to reach the logs without a front end.
I recommend you have a look at your log file, from the lines that say something like Home Assistant is starting. That might give you a clue as to why it does not start.
Also, can you ping your Raspberry Pi from your machine?

Thank you Fanuch
I found an instruction video, on utube, by “The Hook Up” and it confirmed the finak line of code to liad HA onto the RPI. I was the able to establish that my attempts were not getting that far. So i got a new card and as they say … Hey Presto !
But Thank You again for your time, your interest and your encouragement at a moment when I must admit I was a bit fed up with it.
