How to Create Account?

Hello I just installed home assisstant on Generic x86-64 NUC. I followed the steps in the documentation up untill the onboarding part. I copied the url from home assistant cli to my browser (http://homeassistant.local:8123/) but it direct me to a login page and I haven’t created an account yet. How do I create an account? I have donwloaded the app on my phone and it went to the same login page. Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

The onboarding part is where you set up your login credentials.

Thanks for the reply. That’s the part where I’m struggling with, as after entering the HA address in my browser it doesn’t show preparation screen or the create account page. This is how it looks like right after I entered the link. Did I enter the wrong url?

You shouldn’t get this screen until after you have created your account in Onboarding.
At this point I would go back to flashing the binary to your boot device.

There are some Balena clones that contain spyware. You should only use the software directly from Balena.

I figured out what the problem was, It seemed that it didn’t work out because I haven’t set the device’s IP Address, then I accessed to Home Assistant at http://X.X.X.X:8123. Thanks.

this happened to me too! grrrr

I had the same issue…I ended up connecting directly to the box and typing this in the HA command line:

ha os datadisk wipe

it seemed to work…ive been working on adding a user and all sorts of stuff for 6 hours. ugh.

NOTHING else worked…not downloading the BalenaEtcher and all that other stuff…just wipe the sucker clean!!

Guys, be aware that Balena Etcher can cause some issues; there are quite some reports about it here on the forum.

OTH: I don’t know what is a good alternative for this job… :blush:
