Yes phone battery as ups is nice. You can even use termux-api to send sms if battery is below something. Cheap power failure notification software.

Hi, would you have an updated guide. Sorry, I am new to this. I have Termux & Termux:API. But Node-Red gives errors… Please assist.
I can’t edit my first post. Try thIs:
pkg update
pkg install python python-dev coreutils nano ndk-stl clang mosquitto nodejs openssh termux-api make
npm i -g --unsafe-perm node-red
I’ve added make in pkg install. node-red is building something from source and that stopped it from installing.

Hi @vladosam
Thank you very much for your guide. I just followed your guide to install HA on my Android 7.0. I’ve tried to install the Broadlink component but I could not make it work.
Can you take a look at the following question?
Thank you.
Try this:
pip install pyaes
pip show pycrypto
pip uninstall pycrypto
pip install --upgrade pycrypto
Hi,
Thank you for a very nice guide. Excellent idea to use an old android phone. Have followed yr guide and even been able to upgrade HA to 0.65.1.
Now trying to use the IKEA Tradfri components but it fails to install with error msg:
Blockquote

Being new into HA this is far above my capability. Read in this thread:
that a recompilation of python might help. but before going down this path I give it a try here in the hope that someone could offer an alternative solution for this env.
Many thanks
I don’t use IKEA Tradfri but i did try to install pytradfri on my phone and it installed successfully.
pkg install autoconf
activate python virtual env if you using it
source ~/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade pytradfri[async]==4.1.0
Now it was pretty slow installation more then 30 minutes on Moto G4. So if it seems like it’s stuck just leave it.

Success!
Thanks a lot! Now tradfri is up and running!
For my understanding, is it the autoconf package that made the trick?
In any case, thanks a lot for your excellent support!
Nice, I’m glad I could help.
I believe so. There is a note about autoconf in IKEA tradfri components page.
Hi, I’m having problems with mqtt. HA says: the following components could not setup:
mqtt
My configuration.yaml looks like this:
mosquitto
mqtt:
broker: 127.0.0.1
port: 1883
client_id: mqttha
keepalive: 60
username: !secret mqtt_username
password: !secret mqtt_password
Any help? Thanks in advance!
Did you configure mosquitto to use username and password?
Yes, with this:
mosquitto_passwd -c passwordfile user
I can acces the passwd file created.
And this is in mosquitto.conf?
password_file /path/to/mosquitto/passwd
allow_anonymous false
Yes, both lines with the correct path.
Then check indentation in configuration.yaml. This config works for me.
mqtt:
broker: localhost
port: 1883
username: test
password: test
client_id: mqttha
keepalive: 60

The problem persist. Typing netstat -a I’m unable to see a localhost/1883 address. Could this be related?
Can you subscribe to mosquitto?
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -p 1883 -t topic -u test -P test
Txs for your efforts.
I can’t subscribe to mosquito.
Error: connection refused
Try to reinstall mosquitto and set it without user and password.
Done.
mqtt:
broker: localhost
port: 1883
Same results… I don’t know what I’m missing
