Tinkerer, thanks for response, I am a newbie so I am a bit confused after reading your response.
what is the difference of hass.io and hassbian? Aren’t both of them standalone operating system?
As I check the site, both of them can be installed to a raspberry individually, so which one is for what purpose? seems very similar as I read both descriptions.
I never installed hassbian. I only installed hass.io to my raspberry directly from the second link below.
Hassbian - Raspbian (Stretch) base, with Home Assistant installed by default. This is still Raspbian, with all that brings.
Hass.io - a ResinOS based Docker environment, where you don’t have direct access to the Home Assistant environment. A more appliance like experience.
Hass.io (in my opinion) is ideal for those who’re less technical, developers, and those who’re happy with the capabilities provided by the core of Home Assistant and the available add-ons. It however makes it largely impossible to use system commands (so command line components), and alter the platform.
