I have reinstalled Home Assistant on my Raspberry Pi 2 and connected it via ethernet. I am able to access it via SSH but not at 192.168.1.87:8123 and http://hassbian.local:8123 but still nothing loads. I have waited for about 30 minutes. What am I doing wrong???
Thanks
SOLVED BY @Kem down below
Are you sure the IP is correct? Unless you locked it in your router it may have changed. I have found http://hassbian.local:8123 to be unreliable.
Ssh in to the pi and type:
sudo systemctl status -a homeassistant.service
(obviously making sure you use the correct name for the service in your environment)
Is the service running?
Are there any errors displayed?
This is what has come up
● homeassistant.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
OK, what did you call the service when you created it?
I’m sorry, what do you mean by what did you call the service when you created it. What service are you speaking about.
The service that starts HA for you when your pi boots?

This is the readout below:

As per this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCGlQSsQ-Mc I have just loaded Home Assistant onto an SD card and waited 5+ minutes to find that at http://192.168.1.87:8123 there is no web UI.
Hmm…If you can SSH in and its responding its not an issue of nothing loading at all. Seems like the install got hung up.
Do you have config.yaml and a couple other files at /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/?
if so try restarting the HA service.
sudo systemctl restart [email protected]
It seems like I do not have the /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/ files
I have even tried to do this on another Pi and have reinstalled Hassbian onto another micro SD card. It seems like I have run out of options? What would you suggest?
Are you sure that your PI is communicating out to the web? It does need to download the latest version. I don’t think there is a version installed, the framework is there but without the initial connection it won’t be able to run.
Trying on seperate PIs and seperate SD card should rule out a corrupt SD card or PI issue. Have you tried re-downloading the ISO?
Do a
cat /var/log/syslog | grep home-assistant
or
cat /var/log/syslog | grep hass
via SSH should shed some light on the matter.
this may sound crazy but i was having the same problem installing a fresh image for my sister 10 minutes ago and i was able to access via ssh but not http://hassbian.local:8123 or via my ip so i did sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and reboot then everything work out now ever
your welcome
I had the same issues when following install on Raspbian as per here: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/autostart/systemd/
The issue was in the path to the binary file:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/hass
had to be replaced by
ExecStart=/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass
After that validating with sudo systemctl status [email protected] the service is loaded and active
