I might not have been too irresponsible when i decided to buy an ODROID-N2+, since i have no experience with programming or setting up networks.
This weekend i powered up my ODROID, but got stuck right away, after connecting the ODROID to power and to an ethernet cable attached to the router. I the tried the following:
accessing through homeassistant.local.8123, resulting in no connection.
accessing from IPv4 with a keyboard and a monitor connected showing no information in the “IPc4 addresses for eth0” tap.
I rebooted with and without cables connected.
I hope someone out there has been through similar start up problems, and is willing to give a hint to what I could be doing wrong.
My router is recogniseing the ODRIOD and has trafficed 814 KB…
Not sure what you refeer to by path, I am just trying to connect to the Homeassistant OS.
My router sees the ODROID as “Generic”, but when i tried pinging it, there where no connection.
Do i need to open some kind of port on my router to enable HA to work?
How are you trying to connect to HA, explain every step. Currently you said:
I’d like to know EXACTLY what you did. Because this part is easy to screw up if you don’t know hwat you’re doing. Example, what you say below as an address is wrong, but it could just be you typing fast.
So, I want to know exactly what you’re doing so we can figure out what you’re doing wrong. Please provide step by step process, with EXACT copy/pastes on what you tried.
Excuse my ignorance, i will try to explain my steps in depth.
Hardware brought from AmeriDroid:
Home Assistant Bundle - Standard ODROID-N2+ 4GB/64GB eMMC / EU 230V/50Hz (HA was pre-installed)
I connected my ODROID to power and via Ethernet Cable to my router (Archer AX10).
First i opened chrome on my laptop on: “http://homeassistant.local:8123/”, which resulted in no connection / ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED.
I repeated this process with my iphone with the same outcome.
Secondly i connected my ODROID to a monitor using HDMI and a keyboard via USB in order to see the IPv4 addresses for eth0 in the command line. I was hopeing this would give me the IPv4 address to access HA in my web browser. This did not show up, and in the top left corner it kept saying “Waiting for the Home Assistant CLI to be ready…”
Thirdly i accessed my router to see if it was connected to the ODROID. It did not show up in Wired Clients although it had green light in the ethernet cable. (I messed up this part in my earlier description, as i mixed it up with a Hue Bridge)
I tried rearranging and changing ethernet cables with no avail.
I hope this clarifies things a bit - Thanks in advance!!
This is the part that is confusing me. ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED does not mean “I can’t reach the IP address you have asked me to connect to” it literally means - I have no access to the internet.
After being away from home for 2 days, i just tried connecting again, and while connecting to “http://homeassistant.local:8123", it now says DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
As i can access the command line, I am thinking that the OS should at least not be completely trashed, and that the problem must be wrt. the connection.
The OS came pre-installed, and from what i can read, nearly none has reported problems with the OS that came pre-installed. Would it be wise to reinstall/flash it?
NXDOMAIN means that the computer was unable to find the machine in the DNS server (router), it should be accessible by it’s local IP address at this point though.
