Hi I am struggling to install senseHAT (https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.sensehat/). In particular, the library named ‘RTIMU’ which should be installed as the pi user, but then isn’t found (I created the symbolic link as described in the link)
(homeassistant) homeassistant@hassbian:/home/pi $ pip3 install rtimulib
Collecting rtimulib
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement rtimulib (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for rtimulib
Should the installation of RTIMU be different under Hassbian?
Cheers
After a solution posted in a bug forum, closed just 7 days ago (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/5093), I, like you, found myself unable to perform the steps required. I seem to have found a way around it, however. Instead of using the pip3 install command as suggested, I wound up using the build from the apt repository (and forgive me the terminology, I’m not terribly familiar with Debian)
sudo apt-get install python3-rtimulib
doing that plus any other prerequisites it requires. I still got errors, so I went hog wild and just did a ‘sudo apt-get install sense-hat’ for good measure, but I think that there was another error in documentation. I also had to make an adjustment to WHERE I put the symlink into the virtual environment. Specifically
And now after adding the relevant configuration.yaml entries in from the sense hat component page, and wincing at the startup errors from Home Assistant, I have sensors reading data.
