Hyperion on same Pi as HA

Configuration
1

Hi
Is it possible to have hyperion running on the same Pi where also HA is installed?
I have tried to install it using hypercon but nothing Works.

2

Not familiar with Hyperion, or what’s not working, but at the least if it’s a software conflict thing you could at least run HA in Docker to containerize that. If it’s a performance issue well, the Pi is limited that way.

3

I`m running HA and Hyperion on the same server (no Pi, ubuntu server) without problems.
So i think there’s no conflict.

4

I have OSMC running with Hyperion.
HA is running in Docker as quadportnick proposed.
Used first the virtualenv install. Did work as well but ran into trouble with my harmony hub.
With Docker it runs nicely now with the image from Iroquet

I have Hyperion running without a problem on the same RPi3 as HA (All In One Installer). Install it according to tutorial on Hyperion wiki:

It should be working.

6

I have no experience using Docker, but I have now succeeded in getting hyperion working. I just needed to transfer my hyperion.config.jason file to /etc/hyperion/ ´folder on the pi.
Anyhow SmartValley have you experienced any problems when running hyperion along with HA, like derdude1893 describes?

7

No, I haven’t experienced any problems whatsoever. I even have my Hyperion control my Hue bulbs and it all works without a single problem.

I have RPi3 + HA + Hyperion without problems.
Just use Hypercon config and send it using SSH and it will load your config and install Hyperion service

@SmartValley how do you control your Hue bulbs from hyperion?

Hue Bulbs work like they are one LED light on a LED strip for Hyperion. You just have to create another Hyperion configuration and run it paralel to the main one.

I followed tutorials on Hyperion forums and after a while it all worked perfectly.


(not my native language, but Google Translate is my friend)

Hope it helps.

Thanks SmartValley and ximenin… I have not experienced any problems so far either :slight_smile:
Sounds very interesting with HUE parallel to Hyperion. Will definetely have to try it out.

I am trying to install hyperion on same RPI3B+ as HA (HA image, not HA running as docker)

I am getting error like:
Critical Error: CPU information does not match any known releases -> abort

if I fix it in script (add additional proper grep), then I get:
Critical Error: Target platform unknown -> abort
./install_hyperion.sh: line 106: apt-get: not found

Any ideas?

I have no suggestion unfortunelatey since I have not had Hyperion running for quite some while
