I never got the hass.io image to work. I loaded the Rasbian image from here https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Once I finished the manual install from this page:
That’s because you didn’t install hassio. It’s still a fully functioning homeassistant instance.
I hope so. I have only been working with this for 2 days.
This is what I am seeing. Is this correct?
Yeah, you’re fine - I was replying to @powerblackout saying that his install was ‘pretty useless’ because it didn’t have a hassio tab.
A manual installation is pretty useless if I want hassio.
There is not a single thing you can do with hassio that you can’t do with homeassistant, but if you specifically wanted hassio then that’s what you needed to install.
You can’t go to a shop, buy a Samsung TV and then call it useless because it doesn’t have a Sony badge on it.
The whole thread is about getting hassio installed!
All I’ve done is reply to your comments in an attempt to point out that you do not have a ‘pretty useless’ system.
In fact, if you’ve successfully completed the manual install you have already demonstrated more than enough ability to use homeassistant without the hand-holding that hassio offers.
It’s up to you what system you run, makes no difference to me whatsoever.
I started this thread about the hass.io image. This new-be thought the hass.io image was a complete home-assistant install, which I never got to work. Because it did not work, I used the manual install thinking it would provide the same thing. I guess I am still confused as to what the purpose of the hassio image.
Thank you, that helps a lot. Hass.io is not for me. I would love to do it the manual way because you learn the ins and outs of the system. I will start with Hassbian for now until I learn more.
