Need to enter HASS every time I want to look at the GUI

Configuration
1

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to debug why I continuously have to enter the command HASS when I want to look at the GUI? If I change from one network in my house on my phone then back some time later I simply get a error connection refused.

I’m running RPI Jessie. Played around with ufw allow 8234/TCP command but it doesn’t appear to have helped.

Posting on phone so will get the logs and repost later but maybe someone else had the same issue and knows how to fix. Don’t want to invest in anything further until I know this is fixed :frowning:
Thanks in advance

Hmm, I hope that I understand you right. You are starting Home Assistant over a connection from your phone to your Raspberry Pi and then want to access the frontend. If so, you need to use a multiplexer like screen or tmux, launch hass inside a session and detach the session. Otherwise if the session (and so, all running tools) is killed due to switching your network.

BTW, Home Assistant uses 8123 by default.

Thanks lots for the reply. Sorry I was writing that on the phone from work so probably didn’t come across well.

I can take last night as an example. Before I went to bed I entered ‘HASS’ to start the service from my laptop on terminal. Opened the UI and it appeared with no issue on port 8123. When I look this morning from the same computer it tells me connection refused.

I copied the logs but are two instances of this running at the same time?

PS. Don’t mind the taklampa TV entry in tellstick. Is a dummy one. Thanks again

When you say you enter HASS from your laptop, are you using an SSH session into your pi? If so what’s happening is your running the server in that session, so when the session times out the Home Assistant server dies. If you want it to run continuously the best way is to follow the instructions,here, to have it start automatically as a daemon

Thanks very much. I had originally looked at this but my configs were all wrong. Copy and pasting from the internet when I should have looked at the paths relative to my setup. used this as a basis.

Thanks again. Feel free to mark as solved…

on another note I also resolved my mopidy service with the same proper path process
