Installing python3 and pip for an integration

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi there. First post and first timer here.

I’ve got HAOS installed on a local RP4 with things like Google devices, Tuya smart plugs, Hikvision DVR and the following add-ons installed:

1650×107 20.1 KB

I can access via SSH ports 22 and 22222:

808×467 47.3 KB

As well as via docker:

docker

As someone not experienced in containers/docker, can someone advise if it is actually possible to get this integration up and running?

home-assistant io/integrations/simplisafe
simplisafe-python.readthedocs io/en/latest/intro.html

I’m struggling to get my head around the HAOS architecture to understand if and where I need to install python3, pip and simplisafe-python (simplipy).

Some threads say you can use extra repos and add-ons to achieve this, some say I should re-install with Supervised, some are out of date etc.

Hope you can help.

You would do that on another computer, not on HAOS.

I thought it was a dependency :joy: That’s good news as I can just do that on one of my Linux VMs then. Thanks Tinkerer.

Worth noting, doing this on a remote Linux VM won’t take you to a webpage when hitting enter

Ended up just using the built-in integration link to the login page, logging in, grabbing the code from the Developer Tools > Console and putting that in the Authorization Code box. This picked up all my SimpliSafe devices in HA.
