I followed the instructions here https://home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/
plugged the raspberry Pi 3 into the television, and could see the pale blue home assistant on the screen.
Hardwired the raspberry Pi to the home network.
The Internet seems to be working, as you can see the light flashing.
the keyboard and mouse are both connected to the raspberry Pi, but do not appear on the screen in any fashion.

I have tried rewriting the pie 3 software to 2 SD cards.
yes, that is literally what it says. You write the software to the SD card using the program, plug it into the raspberry Pi, and the first time you “run it downloads the latest version of home assistant”. The problem is, I don’t think it is downloading. There seems to be a discrepancy between the image on my television; https://i.gyazo.com/3e9c3f4cbd9e341da4c207ac4339ea2a.jpg5
and this image from the installation instructions.
I have just rewritten the software onto the SD card. Placed it in the raspberry Pi and rebooted. After about 5 minutes the screen goes black. Tapping on the keyboard or moving the mouse does not wake it up.
so I left it on for hours. Exactly the same problem.
What I am trying to ascertain is;
am I correct about the discrepancy between the images? When people install this do they see the image that is on my screen, or the image that is on the installation guide?
Open any computer in your home network (or smartphone), go onto your browser and type the address (http://hassio.local:8123) , you should see the second screen in the browser.
If you know the IP adress of the RPi on your local network you may also use it like this
(http://192.168.1.6:8123). Just replace the ip with the one of your Pi
What you have on your tv is because the RPi is wired directly to the tv
Loaded the 1.23 version onto the SD card. It scrolls through the usual date of information on the screen. Come straight to the login (in the instructions it says it will install in the background home assistant, and then you will be able to contact you through your browser) when I put the password in, fine it works, I just pressed PI and then enter. When I press the key to put the word raspberry in, nothing appears on the screen, no letters no stars no nothing. When I press enter, it tells me they they are the wrong login details.
So I left it for 15 minutes, to see if I could reach it from the browser on my computer typing in;
After initial boot an installer will run in the background and takes around 15 minutes to complete, after it has finished you can reach Home Assistant in your browser at http://hassbian.local:8123. If you want to login via SSH, the default username is pi and password is raspberry (please change this by running passwd).
My hands are paralysed, so I will have to wait for someone to help me, but I am going to try and plug this raspberry Pi stray into the roots of instead of the wired connection I am using at the moment. See if that helps.
