Hassbian installation failure on pi zero

Caswell1000 · January 6, 2019, 7:41am

I have been trying to install hassbian for 2 days now, but i still come out empty:

hardware:
-pi Zero with a wifi connection on usb data port
-hdmi connection to monitor
-power supply

software:

-hassbian image 1.5.0

process:

-format sd card

-flash via etcher

-add wpa_supplicat.conf to boot partition

-connect pi to monitor and insert sd card to pi and power it up

-ssh into pi

-enter user pi and password raspberry

I then get the screen below

from there nothing happens, I try:

still not much happens, then I execute:

and I get

I have been looping though this process since friday trying different tips from different blogs but I still do not have: http://hassbian:8123 firing, no after the first boot, and not after trying various tips, good thing is I can SSH to the pi, please assist, I’m at the end of my tether.

Run sudo hassbian-config install homeassistant --force

Also I don’t use Hassbian try this:

don’t connect the pi to a monitor for the first boot (till first homeassistant installation is ready)
try to use a network-cable
check your wireless network - connection https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md

good luck

Pi zero has no network port, works via wifi port, will try to boot it without monitor after flashing the SD card again, if it does not work I will also run @ludeeus force install suggestion above.

Thanks, It starts downloading packages, but stops halfway, I get the following:

@ludeeus it finally worked, I had to force install as per the command you gave me three times, so for the benefit of everyone, here are the steps.

1.I flashed hassbian 1.5.0 as per https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/hassbian/installation/ (not forgetting to place the wpa_supplicant.conf file in the boot partition of the newly flashed sd card)
2. Booted rpi zero headless
3. SSH to rpi zero via putty after about 5 minutes
4. Tried to login to hassbian via 192.168.xx.xxx:8123 to no avail
5. I then ran sudo hassbian-config install homeassistant --force but it had errors, then I ran it again (x2) until it gave no errors and gave confirmation:

Your Home Assistant installation is running at 192.168.68.105:8123 or if preferred http://hassbian.local:8123
To continue have a look at https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/configuration/

It still would not start so I manually launched it as per https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/hassbian/common-tasks/

$ source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
$ hass ```
When i logged in via url it was working after this.
