I can't get pi to load Home assistance

Don’t look at the screen, there is nothing to see there. Check your router to see if the Pi has acquired an IPaddress, and use a browser to surf to IPaddress:8123

I would say so too…
So does it work to open http://192.168.1.116:8123 ?

Not sure if I am doing it right. It seems to be working on my phone.
But still not on pi.

It’ll never work on the console.

I repeat, never

This isn’t an app with a local UI, it’s all web based. That’s why the documentation talks about connecting with a web browser, and not on the console.

If it’s working on your phone then it’s working.
Nothing is going to happen on the pi

I get it now.I thought the UI was on the raspberry pi.
Many thanks
