Hello everyone,
first of all, sorry for my poor English. It’s not my native language, but I hope it’s still understandable.
I’m brand new to the Home Assistant world, and I’ve been trying things out a bit, but I’m kind of struggling. I hope I can get some help here.
Setup
- Pi5 8GB
- Original power supply (5.1V 5A)
- SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.2 Flash Drive 128GB
- GeeekPi Raspberry Pi 5 Aluminum case
I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB and the original 27W power supply. I installed the latest Home Assistant OS version using the Raspberry Pi Flasher. I installed this on a SanDisk 128GB USB 3.2 USB stick.
A fresh installation takes almost 40 minutes, and a complete reboot of the Pi 5 is not possible because the system doesn’t restart at all. When the system is installed on an SD card, it runs a bit faster at least.
I want to use the Pi for my smart home control. So far, I’ve been playing around with Adguard Home, One Drive Backup, and a bit of MQTT. Generally, that has worked.
Activating add-ons sometimes takes 3-4 minutes, if they start directly at all.
What have I done so far?
- I’ve already updated the bootloader once.
- Various re-installations of HAOS (via Raspberry Pi Imager)
- Counter test with SD card (only slightly better)
Am I doing something wrong? Are there any tricks? Is it because of the USB stick or still because of the beta version of HA?
I would be very grateful for any help.
