May i jump on this real quick with my little issue?
I have the bare metal install…which i seem to understand is the Home assistant OS install…so in other words, NOT SUPERVISOR, correct?
What would i need to do, to get a driver changed…
In HAOS, it seems everything in the file system is read only and there is no apt
But when i transfer this install into a VM, than i still cant change a graphics driver…
So where is my brain disconnect…where or how would i be able to change the used i965 intel driver to the newest intel media driver iHD?
Thx for any input
HAOS is supervised…
Oh boy, and i just thought i did understand it now…but obviously dont…
Is anyone aware of a section/component of home assistant where apt works?
If you have driver issues you should report it on github and request a driver update.
HAOS only uses CLI, and doesn’t require any gfx drivers (although the vm host computer would need it, if you require a gfx ui…)
It is for the hardware acceleration in frigate…so the iHD driver would need to be present in the host…which in this case would be the home assistant OS
Go into Settings → System → Repairs - than click the three-button menu on the top right, select “System Information” to see what you are running.
“Home Assistant Supervised” is a certain kind of installation. HAOS - “Home Assistant Operating System” - includes the “Supervisor” as well.
See this link for more details as well on some of the different kinds of installs available, and scroll down to note the table:
I had HA Supervised for a while but I switched over to HAOS running on a KVM/QEMU VM on a RPI5 8G. (a NUC is better and cheaper but I am an RPI fanboy: ). It is less maintenance, I still have access to the host, and I gained the ability to use the Visual Studio Code Server as the editor with “intellisense” just like the Visual Studio IDE rather than a plain text editor for YAML (whihc is only available with HA Supervised IF you jump through a bunch of hoops such as editing through a Samba share, etc. - not worth the hassle).
The frigate addon accelerator runs in the dongle itself so I believe that has nothing at all to do with the flavor of the install you are running.
@Darkyputz - use HAOS
Here is why I am an RPI fanboy and my case - pretty coll executive desk toy:

Thx alot for your input…
My install is OS, so i am limited to what the pre compiled HASS is providing.
I think you misunderstood what i meant with hardware acceleration.
The Coral does the object classification and detection, but the video gets processed through the gpu…and the driver thaht is in use for the intel i3 that i have running, is I965 which only does h.264 and the iHD driver would also do h.265 on hardware since the chip supports it.
For most people the i965 is probably enough but with more and more people going for frigate, and more and more cameras do h.265 now, it might be a consideration to change that or make it optional
I will def put that as a feature request in git.
Thx for the tip.
The raspberry would not work for me, since it is to slow
