I made my SD-card put it in the Raspberry 3 ver B and could connect on port 8123. Looked good…Will finish in 20 mins… After waiting a couple of hours I restarted the Pi and it says : Connection refused.
Have now repeated full steps Retriving gz-file, flashing cards and got same result 3 times. Something seems to go wrong when it automatically updates itself…Or am I doing something wrong when I try to connect to it? Have found the correct IP-address to it with Fing.
I have a 256GB card presently, got same blinking lights with 32GB card but did not check amount of traffic. Now did a restart and the PI than stopped working, and downloading.
I had the same problem several times. In most cases it was a quality problem of the SD-card (errors r/w or to slow).Now I use a ‘Samsung Evo Plus 32 GB’, which was recommended on tec-sides. This card is affordable - like maybe other cards - and has good values in speed (r/w). When earlier, with no quality cards - even class 10 - it took up to 5 min to restart hassio it lasts now about 20 - 30 sec. Also the installation finished with poor internet speed in about 20 min.
As I said, the first 3 tries was with a 32 GB card. Last effort was with my diving cameras card
Yes I bought the recommended powersource together with the PI with that spec.
Why all the downloading as long as I let the Pi run?
I will say that most retaielrs that recommend a certain power supply for the pi will only provide one that meets the minimum requirements. I had issues of my SD card dying once every 2 or 3 months, I bought one that is 3a (NorthPanda is the brand, its on Amazon etc) and not had a single issue since.
Just because it runs the Pi, doesn’t mean its running it “right”.
