Problem installing Home Assistant on Raspberry Pi 4 (using WiFi)

[nickrout]

@PatriciaW

Although the parameters are stored locally, it needs access to a Vera server occasionally to get the time (I think)

So does HA.

SSID is not IP number so why did you put that in and that will be your problem right out of the bat

Pretty sure that is just a misunderstanding of network nomenclature. At least I hope so.

[PatriciaW]

What server is that? Does Home Assistant have one?

[PatriciaW]

You need to read my earlier posts. Using an IP number got me to the HA CLI. Using a proper SSID didin’t get me to it. I was using IP deliberately to see if I could find any clues as to why using a SSID wasn’t working.

Maybe you want to take a look at this?

• IP Address
• SSID

[PatriciaW]

I said in my second post (and also in the title of the post) that I didn’t want to use ethernet to install HA and didn’t want to discuss that. If you don’t want to help me use WiFi to install HA then don’t participate in the discussion.

I am aware of the difference. Perhaps you didn’t read my earlier discussion with tom_I about using ha help. So I did that and documented the results of some ha commands.

Clearly this post has offended some members so I will not participate anymore.

No you’re really not. Otherwise you would not keep saying:

@PatriciaW

I used the IP address as the SSID

That doesn’t really sound like you are aware of the difference.

Wise decision
