thanks for the reply

so you have to plug it into a TV?

What base OS did you use Raspbian Jessie, Raspbian Stretch, or something else?

On Raspbian, you need to put the file ssh in the directory called /boot/ on the SD card, when you mount it in your OS after writing it (or after removing it from the Pi). If you’ve done that, SSH should be active - you’ll just have to find your Pi on the network.

I used a full Raspbery image of Home Assistant downloaded from one of hte pages on this site. I didn’t install an OS first then Home Assistant on top of it, so i’m not actually sure

So, there are a couple of options you could have used then. One is Hassbian, the other is Hass.io. You need to work out which you chose.

Hassbian. You are most helpful, thanks

Looks like SSH is enabled by default, but as it says you’ll need to wait 20 minutes after first boot.

My Putty client actively refuses the connection “connection refused” the box has been up for 2 hours. no idea what’s going on

Well, if you’ve got the right IP, time to connect it to a TV/monitor and a USB keyboard :wink:

groan! :joy:

i’ll try it , cheers mate :+1:

12

now I feel silly.

I’m in front of the console and see the Home Assistant “connected home” blue and white logo, and I can’t seem to get a bash prompt. Help an old guy out?

sorry it’s actually Hass.io I chose not Hassbian

14

hass.io is very different, you need to install the SSH add on.

thanks mate, I quite like how in hass.io you can just add things on via the web ui.
