Hi,
I just finished a new/clean install of HA on a Raspberry Pi 5, using this manual: Raspberry Pi - Home Assistant. NOT in a container. I have created a user, which has admin rights.
Now I want to install the MQTT add-on, but I am missing something vital: the Add-on menu item in settings.
Furthermore, I’d like to be able to SSH into the Raspberry Pi, but in order to do that, I need the add-on store and also being able to enable “Advanced Mode” in the user profile. That toggle isn’t there either. I fear I’m missing way more stuff that I don’t know off yet.
All updates have been applied.
If I did the wrong type of installation to get the Add-on store, please share a link to a tutorial/manual on how to do it properly.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards, and have a nice weekend
Sheppie
