I run hass.io on a Raspberry Pi 2 successfully. However, whenever I update home assistant, I see a message complaining about the pip version, as follows:
[19:23:48] INFO: Installing Home Assistant: latest...
[19:23:48] INFO: Please be patient, this might take a few minutes...
WARNING: You are using pip version 19.1.1, however version 19.2.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Admittedly, this doesn’t interfere with my ability to run Home Assistant or upgrade HA. Not surprisingly, running the suggested command from a terminal when I SSH in doesn’t work. I’ve searched for other forum topics on this issue and although I found a few, the answers were not satisfying. So, my question is two-fold: Is there a way to update pip? And if not, should I care?
Beginner here, running hass.io on a Raspberry Pi 3… I also received this message during the process of following the Hass.io ‘Best Practices’ for updating Hass.io), specifically the step of running the ‘check Home Assistant configuration’ add on and reading the Log (which the add-on tells me I should do to see when the check completes). The Log tells me that I should consider updating PIP (whatever that is). This thread tells me that I shouldn’t care about that message.
If I shouldn’t care, and it takes me 15 minutes to search and find that out, why ask me to consider updating it in the first place?
Not the one truth? What does that mean? I was following ‘Best Practice’ for updating Hass.io that tells me to use the add-on, and that add-on told me to consider updating PIP - whatever that is.
Well, home assistant is that application we all use. Hassio is one way to install home assistant. Hassio has add-ons that aren’t part of home assistant, and are not available to any other installation method. The add-ons aren’t home assistant.
If the configuration check add-on is unique to hassio, and if the message to consider updating PIP is not applicable, why doesn’t the developer of the add on remove the message or add text to explain that warning? After looking at some other threads discussing this, it seems like a number of folks have the same questions about this message.
It seems that there is one group of folks that are familiar with HA and move to hassio with lots of knowledge, and another group (like me) who want to avoid the harvesting features of the internet of things and see the great features of HA but have no knowledge of linux, dockers, etc… The second group install it via hassio and are much more easily discouraged by these sorts of issues, especially when they show up very early in the process.
