My name is Hans and have a raspberry pi 3 Model B+ and I managed to install Hassio.io from the Home Assistant site. I installed it to my pi with the (flashed to) SD card and an ethernet cable, but now I want to use my Wifi network. So I have a (new) USB stick, named it CONFIG and created the file structure as advised and then in the folder network I created file my-network. I made it a text file and look as follows:
[connection]
id=hassos-network
uuid=72111c67-4a5d-4d5c-925e-f8ee26efb3c3
type=802-11-wireless
[802-11-wireless]
mode=infrastructure
ssid=my-ssid
# Uncomment below if your SSID is not broadcasted
#hidden=true
[802-11-wireless-security]
auth-alg=open
key-mgmt=wpa-psk
psk=my-psk
[ipv4]
method=auto
[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
method=auto
But it didn’t work for me and I also seem to not be able to see why - if I plugin my HDMI cable from the pi to my TV, I see nothing whereas if I connect from my Mac mini, I do.
On a out-of-the-box Raspbian OS that came with my Pi 3+ I was able to set-up WiFi with the help of this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBYdz67XGsE. Then I bought another SD card and only flashed Hassio on it. Then I got this problem, WiFi not recognised. And I still haven’t found out - even if I created a folder wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant.conf file in it via the configurator and saved (and restarted) it. It still then doesn’t seem to listen. Therefore, I chose another way of installing Home Assistant, via Hassbian: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/hassbian/installation/#wireless-network. And this instruction worked for me. So now it is using my WiFi again. Hope it may help you too.
By the way in response to my first post - if I connect a HDMI cable from the pi to my TV and then start it - plugging in the power to the pi - then I am able to see all the commands executed, but when I plugin the HDMI cable when the power cable has already been plugged in, then I’m seeing nothing.
Yeah revisited my Pi after a while and I got the solution from this post: Hassio WIreless config. Create in the boot partition (hassos boot) the folder CONFIG/network/my-network and in this file ‘my-network’ (.txt file) insert the contents as you can read in the post that I mentioned. You can do this by reading your SD card on your computer. Then eject the SD card, insert into your Pi, reboot.
Hi cnmarch6,
When I clicked on my partition its name was ‘hassos boot’, but it seems like this top folder when clicked on the partition is your root / hassos boot. So I would put that .txt file in here and give it a try.
Cheers,
Hans
