Im New and need all the help i can get

elPaulio · June 9, 2017, 8:07am

Now you understand why I advised not to install it along side your LibreELEC - because eventually, youd go wrong or get some error which means youd have to start again
No point in risking your Kodi install

If youre going for a new Pi3, then I would either try the hassio solution, or the working image that has everything you need to get started

Magpie2000k · June 9, 2017, 12:43pm

couple of questions

1: should I use the new Pi 3 for my kodi setup and the Pi2 for assistant or vice versa.
2: wemo plugs or tp link does it make a difference was gonna pick a coupe up with pi 3
3: what size sd card do i need for the assistant is 1gb enough or should i get 16gb

Thats it for now

thanks again for all your help

ps I will be mindfull to not make too many posts as I will possibly be stopped again for 4 hours grrrrr.

elPaulio · June 9, 2017, 1:28pm

Doesnt matter from a HASS point of view, it will run on either. A Pi3 will run Kodi better, but again, doesnt actually make much difference
There are components for both - make sure to pick up the ones that are supported, see the components pages for Wemo and TPLink switches respectively for a list of supported devices
16GB definitely better, I dont think youll be able to install HASS on a 1GB card to be honest (its database can grow larger than that if you have a lot of components in it)

l i’m new to this and this guy has a step by step tutorial home-assistant for beginners super easy the best tutorial on you tube

Magpie2000k · June 10, 2017, 8:17am

It doesnt say on the hassbian installation instructions but am i supposed to unzip the image file first
It looks like etcher did it for me but I ask as I cant connect at
http://hassbian.local:8123/

dont answer that yes is the answer on it now

Magpie2000k · June 10, 2017, 8:41am

Still can’t access it at
http://hassbian.local:8123

Have found its ip address so it is on the network, but simply wont connect via ip address states connection refused

any help would be great

Kem · June 11, 2017, 9:08pm

yes sometimes it happens it took me like 3 times to burned the image with etcher the other thing is that when you insert the card to the pi it takes like 5-7 minutes to start homeassistant

Kem · June 11, 2017, 9:11pm

follow the tutorial

Magpie2000k · June 11, 2017, 10:16pm

I have but it still won’t let me connect
I think I’m missing something

keithh666 · June 11, 2017, 10:21pm

Try using the ip address e.g. 192.168.1.7:8123 instead of using dns

Magpie2000k · June 11, 2017, 10:45pm

same thing its doing my head in.

i can see it on the router but

You have checked that HA is running on the PI? ps -aux should show HA running…

homeass+ 19536 47.2 7.0 273028 66848 ? Rsl 00:01 1:38 /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/python3 /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/hass -c /home

Your result may differ as I’m running AIO install not hasbian but there should be something to show its running.

Magpie2000k · June 11, 2017, 11:11pm

Hi and thanks but im lost as to what that means or how to do it.

keithh666 · June 11, 2017, 11:24pm

you need to type ps -aux on the command line, usually done via ssh or if you have monitor and keyboard attached via the gui terminal program

Magpie2000k · June 11, 2017, 11:26pm

trying to conect to it have it hooked to tv as we speak

When I try ssh pi@<192.168.1.16>

I get

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’

Doesn’t look like HA is running try to find out what the start command for hassbian is, I use

sudo systemctl restart home-assistant.service

for the AIO install

I’m signing off for now as early start tomorrow

Magpie2000k · June 11, 2017, 11:54pm

no worries thanks. Me too but its doing my head in so will give it another hour…

Thanks for all your help so far, I am wiping and re flashing the card again to see if that helps

Then will try your command if no joy

So here is what i have done incase anyone can spot my error

downloaded file.

Tried burning zip to file it worked but no home assistant. Tried unzipping and burning image to write it to sd card and again it worked and seems to install Homeassistant but when trying to start or stop home assistant it states it isnt there to start.

tried to manually install homeassistant manualy but came up with errors.

Just to be clear I am writing hassbian to a clean sd card with nothing previously installed onto the PI3
