Hello, first post here!
Good day to all!
I am brand new to Home Assistant, I have been a long time user of SmartThings. I have followed Dr Zzs on YouTube for a while, but never took the plunge until Samsung decided to hard cut me over to their “new” app and, in the process, demolished all my automations. I have since patched my system back, but refuse to continue to be at the mercy of corporate whims and their clouds!
I installed Hassio on a Pi 4 2GB with a 64GB Sd card and achieved a mostly operational install using the GUI. There were, however, a few issues that, as a newbie, I would appreciate an assist.
One, I cannot find a clear definitive example or answer, how do I access hassio and Start modifying the Yaml files. I mean, how do I access on a file level, how are the files laid out, and what is the best method of maintaining these configurations.
I have several SSH clients, but I am unable to attach using ssh to my home assistant. The IP is on 192.168.0.0/24 and I can access the web interface on port 8123 with no issues. Port 22, no response to ssh login. Do I need to enable ssh somehow in the web GUI or set the ssh username and password to enable the service? I have a password configured on the web GUI, and am using the nabu casa cloud of Home Assistant. I can find plenty of examples on how to edit a particular yaml file, but have not found anyone that explains how to get initial access to the system to begin.
Two, node red integration was unsuccessful, when I try to launch from the side menu, I receive the message that node red is not running, please start first. This leads to the configuration menu where I can manually launch, and specify the start behavior of the plugin. If service is set to start on boot, but apparently is not doing so. If I try to start the service, it appears to do so, but when I choose Open Web UI, I get a 502 bad gateway message.
Three, I was unable to get Smartthings integration to work, I want to get this working initially, and then transfer functions and automations over to Hassio as I migrate.
I am unclear how to “verify” if the callback hook to nabu casa reflects the correct one…how do I tell? If I click the displayed link, I simply get a “405 method not allowed response”. If I accept the callback hook as valid and proceed, generate a new access token on Smartthings, and paste it into the dialog prompt, I receive a dialogue to choose the Smartthings hub location. I can then choose my hub location, but if I click submit, I receive an “aborted” message in the same pop up instead of a successful hook. I’ve tried multiple times, no success.
Sorry if these are simple issues, any help will be greatly appreciated!
