Hey everyone,
I’ve been trying to install Home Assistant OS on my Fujitsu Futro S920 and ran into problem after problem. I wanted to share my journey so far and hopefully get some help or insight.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
- Installation on 8GB mSATA SSD
First tried installing HAOS using the official Linux method.
Then tried writing the image directly to a USB stick.
Also tried using dd from a Linux machine.
HA only booted when the USB stick was plugged in — oddly, I could remove the USB after boot and it would still run.
- Bought a larger mSATA SSD
Faced the same issue.
Eventually found a workaround using sudo efibootmgr to create a boot entry manually.
This finally allowed HAOS to boot directly from the mSATA without needing the USB.
Things were looking good until…
I realized I couldn’t access any Community Add-ons. Only the default official add-ons show up in the Add-on Store.
I checked everything:
DNS config looks fine
Internet connection is solid
Supervisor logs don’t show any major issues
The addons folder seems to be there
But no matter what I tried, I couldn’t get the Community Add-ons to show up.
So I made one last attempt:
- Connected a regular SATA SSD instead
Flashed HAOS onto it
Same issue again – no Community Add-ons, everything else works fine
Has anyone experienced something similar on the Futro S920?
I feel like I’m really close, but missing some crucial step or setting. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
