HA Green Box secret

I have green box how do it open it?

Why do you want to open it?

Start it…?

Carefully…

yes, have HA account, attached to router, connected to monitor with keyboard

You don’t need a monitor & keyboard attached to the Green (for now). It is just a server - you need to access it from another PC or mobile. Follow Step 4 here

unable to access HA, impossible to find box IP address, tried Fling, Tether, blah blah…

How is it attached to your router? By ethernet cable? Are the lights on the ethernet port where you attached your Green blinking?

Yes cable, all lights happy, bought cloud…

Ok, NOW you need your monitor.

Do you see this when you connect your Green to the monitor?

Also, what do you mean by

Do you mean Home Assistant cloud?

Ok, you don’t have an IP address. Have you tried restarting the Green and seeing if you see anything different where it says “IPv4 addresses for end0”?

If that doesn’t work…
What model router is it plugged into? Do you know how to access the router page?

Re boot complete, no change, same data, router is tp-link Wi-6 Router, have no idea what a router page is, thanks for your help, been in this past month no help fro HA

It’s where you set up your router. Should be http://tplinkwifi.net according to google. I’m sorry but I’m not familiar with how to play around with router settings for TPLink.

You joined 2 hours ago. Where did the “past month” come from?

Is it connected to the router with an Ethernet cable?

struggling with this mess, hoping to automate my greenhouse, looks like growing season will over before needed!! may have go different route Pi4 maybe

Yes, ethernet port light blinking, they say plug an play

Tried another cable?
I also noticed an error regarding low voltage?
Try another power supply maybe?

Your router is in charge of handing out IP addresses. If it’s not doing that and you don’t know how to fix it, it’s not the Green’s fault.

Try this: connect a different device to your router using the same cable as the green. Check if you have internet on that device. If not, replace the cable & try again
