Installing Home Assistant Core 2023.2.2 on Raspberry Pi 3B+ step by step

I installed Home Assistant Core 2022.11.3 in a virtual environment (pip) on a clean Raspberry Pi 3B+ device(debian 11).

I canโ€™t guarantee that the new version will install and run successfully, so I decided to do a fresh install first in order not to affect the operation of the existing system. After all problems are resolved, the existing system will be upgraded. This article is the problems encountered during the installation process and the solutions. It took me days for my peers to refer to.

Environment

  • Operating system and architecture: Debain 11, arm64

I tired following this official guide: Installation - Home Assistant

Iโ€™ve updated to Python 3.10 and installed 2022.11.3

In summary there is a couple of steps involved, but from a High-Level, this is whatโ€™s required:

Create and change to a virtual environment for Home Assistant Core

sudo useradd -rm homeassistant20230201 -G dialout,gpio,i2c


#create a directory for the installation of Home Assistant Core
sudo mkdir /srv/homeassistant20230201

#change the owner to the homeassistant20230201 account
sudo chown homeassistant20230200:homeassistant20230200 /srv/homeassistant20230200

sudo -u homeassistant20230201 -H -s
cd /srv/homeassistant20230201
python3.10 -m venv .
source bin/activate

before install Home Assistant Core(in a virtual environment)

You have to install wheels first. Try following this official guide: Installation - Home Assistant

pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install wheel

Install Home Assistant Core


#Stop the Homeassistant service for free port 8123
sudo systemctl stop home-assistant@homeassistant

pip3 install homeassistant==2023.2.1  (in a virtual environment)

resolve some errors


pip3 install cryptography  (in a virtual environment)
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh  (in a virtual environment)
sudo apt -y install rustc    (not in a virtual environment)
pip3 install pyOpenSSL --upgrade

Other:checklist

Change the title please, add something like โ€žin a Python vEnvโ€œ.

Otherwise Iโ€™d tend to post a one-liner using Docker โ€ฆ

Of course, the correct approach is to just follow the documentation. If itโ€™s outdated or wrong (eg missing the requirement for cargo) then submit an update using the links at the bottom of that page.

Troubleshooting installation problems

first-install fails

error: Rust 1.48.0 does not match extension requirement >=1.56.0

Reason

I believe it was related to cryptography and a minimum required rust version

Solution

Building cryptography requires having a working Rust toolchain. The current minimum supported Rust version is 1.48.0. This is newer than the Rust some package managers ship , so users may need to install with the instructions below.

Welcome to Rust!

This will download and install the official compiler for the Rust
programming language, and its package manager, Cargo.

Rustup metadata and toolchains will be installed into the Rustup
home directory, located at:

  /home/homeassistant20230201/.rustup

This can be modified with the RUSTUP_HOME environment variable.

The Cargo home directory is located at:

  /home/homeassistant20230201/.cargo

This can be modified with the CARGO_HOME environment variable.

The cargo, rustc, rustup and other commands will be added to
Cargo's bin directory, located at:

  /home/homeassistant20230201/.cargo/bin

This path will then be added to your PATH environment variable by
modifying the profile files located at:

  /home/homeassistant20230201/.profile
  /home/homeassistant20230201/.bashrc

You can uninstall at any time with rustup self uninstall and
these changes will be reverted.

Current installation options:


   default host triple: armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
     default toolchain: stable (default)
               profile: default
  modify PATH variable: yes

1) Proceed with installation (default)
2) Customize installation
3) Cancel installation
>1

info: profile set to 'default'
info: default host triple is armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
warning: Updating existing toolchain, profile choice will be ignored
info: syncing channel updates for 'stable-armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf'
info: default toolchain set to 'stable-armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf'

  stable-armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf unchanged - rustc 1.67.0 (fc594f156 2023-01-24)


Rust is installed now. Great!

To get started you may need to restart your current shell.
This would reload your PATH environment variable to include
Cargo's bin directory ($HOME/.cargo/bin).

To configure your current shell, run:
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"

restart your current shell

No module named '_sqlite3

SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. Programs that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database access without running a separate RDBMS process.

1.sqlite3 is built into Pythonโ€™s standard library (sqlite3 โ€” DB-API 2.0 interface for SQLite databases โ€” Python 3.11.4 documentation), you should not try to install it using pip.

If you had used the standard version of Python you would not have this problem.The standard Python version is 3.9.2

2.If import sqlite3 does not work either, it means youโ€™ve compiled Python without SQLite support, and you need to build it again after installing the libsqlite3-dev package.

Not related to your issues but this is not a good idea to put the version in the directory name.
Except if you plan to do a new one on each release.
Expect a new release 2023.2.3 to be available within a week probably.

Either youโ€™ll upgrade your existing version and the directory will not reflect the version inside it:

cd /srv/homeassistant20230202
source bin/activate
pip3 install -U homeassistant

Or youโ€™ll create a new directory, new venv, new everything and youโ€™ll face all the issues that youโ€™re having today, again.

Hello,
I am trying to install HomeAssistant on my Raspberry Pi 3 model B, following manual Raspberry Pi - Home Assistant

On my Raspberry Pi 3 I am using newest โ€œOS image Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and recommended softwareโ€ Exactly this one.

I managed to solved all problems related to HA installation (Python 3.10 compilation with ssl, Rust, etc) and installation finally ends with success.

Howevere last step from manual Start Home Assistant Core for the first time
hass
does not take โ€œ5 to 10 minutesโ€โ€ฆ It takes long hours!

After few hours of waiting, I tried several times to clearly install HA. I tried two versions: 2023.2.2 and 2023.2.1 versions, I even made new totally clean instllation of Raspberry OS - all the time the same problem - running hass never ends.
At the moment I am on another try and currently it stuck on โ€œhomeassistant.setupโ€:

2023-02-07 01:34:13.276 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Waiting on integrations to complete setup: analytics
2023-02-07 01:38:40.927 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Waiting on integrations to complete setup: ssdp
2023-02-07 01:40:06.385 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Waiting on integrations to complete setup: bluetooth

2023-02-07 02:11:00.467 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup of default_config is taking over 10 seconds.

Now it is 9:06, so we are on this step for almost 7 hours.
The only files changed during this time are:

pi@raspberrypi:/home/homeassistant $ find /home/homeassistant/ -type f  -mmin -400
/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db
/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db-wal
/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db-shm

pi@raspberrypi:/home/homeassistant $ ls .homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db* -Al
-rw-r--r-- 1 homeassistant homeassistant  180224 Feb  7 05:12 .homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 homeassistant homeassistant   32768 Feb  7 09:00 .homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db-shm
-rw-r--r-- 1 homeassistant homeassistant 2954072 Feb  7 09:00 .homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db-wal

It seems only db is built during this time, and it grows from time to time for a few kilobytes.

Anyone had such problem? Does it appear only on Raspberry Pi, or also on other platforms? Anyone has a solution for this? Finally: how log should I wait? Now it is 7 hours, the longest for me at the moment.

Honestlyโ€ฆ Iโ€™d recommend using Docker.

Your startup is long/slow because thereโ€™s no wheels for your platform, and in another year youโ€™ll have to build Python 3.11 from source and re-create the venv.

Oh, and if you type hass it wonโ€™t โ€œendโ€, thatโ€™s you running Home Assistant (manually rather than from systemd). Now you need to connect to the web UI as covered in the getting started guide.

I donโ€™t know how it happens. For sure I was checking http://homeassistant.local:8123 (which was not registered). That time I thought hass did not finish yet. But it seems, I didnโ€™t check other aliases.

Indeed there is a service started on 8123 port, and indeed there is web interface available on localhost:8123.
Thank you so much! So letโ€™s go for Getting Started now! :slight_smile:

homeassistant.local requires that mDNS is configured and that the host is called homeassitant, which it probably isnโ€™t.

This guide covers the use of systemd to auto-start HA.

Iโ€™m about to start a clean install of HA with a python 3.10 upgrade.
Is this post saying that the Official Core Installation Guide needs updating?

20

reboot & reinstall it

22

no,I had an install of HA core 2022.11.2. I have decided to make a fresh install and restored my back up
