Hass.io install doesn't seem to work

Installation
1

Hi,

I’m completely new to HA, but not completely new to the RPi or home automation software.
I tried following these instructions (RPi2), but the installation never becomes available at http://hassio.local:8123 . I’ve watched some videos about this installation, and they show that after a few minutes, a screen pops up saying “preparing Hassio, this can take up to 20 minutes”. For me, going to the aforementioned link always results in “This site can’t be reached”, mentioning that the DNS address can’t be found, with a code saying “DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN”.

I tried hooking up a screen via HDMI, to see if that would keep me updated, but this only shows the HA logo for some time (anywhere between 15 and 60 minutes, haven’t timed it), and then it goes black.

Is there anything I’m doing wrong here?

Tim

See what ip address is given to your RPi and replace hassio.local with the ip address.

Well I’ll be darned. I’m 100% sure I checked this last night, with the same results as before, but checking it now brings me to the HA page. Thanks for the help!

No problem. It can take a while for the boot to finish and the web page to be available
