Hi all!
I am a new user to Home Assistant and have recently bought myself a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB with a Sandisk Extreme MicroSDXD 64GB. I am running into trouble when I try to install Home Assistant to my RBPi. Just to be perfectly clear and transparent, these are the steps I have done so far:
- Downloaded BalenaEtcher
- Flashed my MicroSDXC card with this URL: https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/8.2/haos_rpi4-64-8.2.img.xz
- Connected my RBPi with a ethernet cable to my switch which is connected with a ethernet cable to my Wifi-router and inserted the MicroSDXC card with a Sandisk dedicated USB MicroSD-card reader.
- Went to http://homeassistant.local:8123
This is where everything stops. Nothing happens when I go to this URL, I only get “This site can’t be reached”. I have tried to re-flash the image and done all the steps from the beginning several times but nothing works. Then it hit me, can it be a problem that I have connected the RBPi to a switch that is connected to a Wifi-router? Do I need to be connected with a ethernet cable from my computer as well?
Well guys (and gals), you see that I am struggling and I’m in desperate need of help.
Thanks in advance!
