Home Assistant won't start (UI doesn't open)

Installation
1

After installation I try to start the UI with hass --open-ui.
I must admit it’s all new to me, but just following the instructions here.
My term displays a lot of info but stops at: 2019-04-24 17:36:06 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.discovery] Unknown service discovered: home_assistant {‘host’: ‘192.168.178.21’, ‘port’: 8123, ‘hostname’: ‘Home._home-assistant._tcp.local.’, ‘properties’: {‘version’: ‘0.91.4’, ‘base_url’: ‘http://192.168.178.21:8123’, ‘requires_api_password’: True}}

And the UI doesn’t open.
What am I doing wrong?

How did you install Home Assistant? I would guess a manual installation. Here is the official way to do that.

3

Install was done a Macbook with Python.
Any special instructions for that?

4

Like this?

Google is your friend :wink:

I installed it with these instructions at hand. But still it doesn’t work. That’s why I’m asking here :wink:

6

I understand MacOS has an application firewall. Is it turned on? If so you need to permit port 8123.

7

Note that there is no local UI. The only UI is the web interface.

8

True for Home Assistant but Hassio has that cli shell that is a UI.

9

However, launching HA does not launch that shell - if the OP is expecting some UI to appear (since the argument --open-ui does hint at that) then they’re not going to get one.

(I’d also argue that it’s not a Home Assistant UI, since it’s Hass.io specific :wink: )

Thanks for all your replies, but how does it help me?
Sorry, I’m quit new to these things…

You just open a web browser and go to http://yourcomputerip:8123
