HomeAssistant OS installation Random MAC address

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi,

following your advices, I installed HomeAssitant OS on my 1TB SSD drive on a brand new Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB.

It should be the most easiest way to install it …

Except the fact that it uses 2 MAC Addresses, which seem to be randomized.
A real nightmare as my WiFi is multiple secured, and one of the security feature I configured is MAC filtering.

Booting the Raspberry with display and keyboard allows me to get to the prompt.
But NO WAY to ask HA to give me the MAC Address it uses.

Question, how may I prevent this stupid MAC Address randomization ?

If some find it interresant, in the real life, it is not, because you can’t adapt your DHCP server to assign a dedicated IP Address to it, …

Can someone help me ?

THanks in advance.
Kind regards
Dom

It will help if you dont start new threads asking the exact same question as your other thread where this was already being addressed.

This one was more specific on the MAC address and HA OS :wink:

I posted it on the previous one, just to give more info on what I try to do to solve the problems and show that HA on Debian is not as easy :slight_smile:

HA on Debian is a piece of cake if you know Linux and understand what you are doing. This is why Supervised is an advanced install method.

At least, you have to be able to get to the boot prompt :wink:

Which is currently not the case as the preinstalled version fails mounting.
Problem which seems to be already known.

Kr,
