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.
There is something fishy going on! After the start with a newly flashed card with the image from https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/ the PI has this traffic last 9 hrs:
| Client Name | Upload | Download | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi Foundation | 637.03 MB | 143.91 GB | 144.53 GB |
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.
256 GB SD card… that might be too big for HassOS. 32 GB should be fine.
Now, how are you powering the Pi? Lots of problems come about when people don’t use a solid USB power supply capable of at least 2.5A at 5V.
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”.
Why all the downloading as long as I let the Pi run?
Broken pipes / downloads and retries.
OK.Thank you.
