HASS IO platform

Configuration
1

Running home assistant off the Raspbian and all in one installer. As it seems no longer supported and the python 3.4 will be ruled out soon want to decide which way to go.

So the first possible way would be raspbian + manual install of the HA. Doesn’t seem a hard way to go and i will keep other software as well.

Second is installing HassIO but have no idea on the Resin OS. Seems more like ESXi with VMs (Docker images). SO what is the HA image based on?

  1. Will i be able to set up bluetooth pulse audio support for a BT speaker?

  2. Will i be able to access RPi3 pins to run mysensors gateway software https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry

  3. Put somesoftware and run shell commands like
    sound_intruder: for i in {1..5} ; do /usr/bin/aplay /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/sounds/files/alarm_hard.wav ; done
    or
    onkyo_dynvol: '/srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/onkyo -n709 audyssey-dynamic-volume={{states.input_select.onkyo_dynvol.state}}'
    or
    command_off: 'python3 /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/shell/orvibo/orvibo.py -m addc233658f6 -x irda -e /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/shell/orvibo/cmds/TOSHIBA-AC-OFF.ir'

  4. Still be able to acess USB and use it for modbus (have a chinese usb modbus converter us 001 Device 006: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics HL-340 USB-Serial adapter)

Just install Hassbian

If you want to do this, hassio is not for you.

Hassbian is a good choice if you don’t mind wiping your SD card.

If that is a problem, you could try the manual install or I have been playing around with docker over the holidays (not with HA) and it looks very good, so it might be worth your time learning about that installation method.

You can use this guide to install HA manually on a Pi, and I’m happy to say that it’s trivial to upgrade python.
