Looks really slick, but already I’m stuck at a hurdle Seems I have to edit configuration.yaml to add an RFX device (really?) and yet I can’t even SSH on to the Pi build (connection refused).
I came here from OpenHAB because I was frustrated that half of stuff had to be configured via command line and half via the web, but is this the same? At least I could SSH on to OpenHAB! Not meaning to sound disrespectful to all the hard work that goes into this, so sorry if it sounds like that. But a bit stumped!
How have you installed Home Assistant? I assume using the HassOS image?
If you have installed HassOS on your pi, you should be able to add the SSH add-on from the store (under the Hass.io tab). You can also use the Samba add-on to grab all your .yaml files.
If you want some more flexibility with the OS, I would suggest you install Raspbian onto the Pi and then you can install Hass.io over Raspbian.
Gives you full SSH access and you can install whatever you choose that isn’t inside the Hass.io environment. I have a guide on that here
If you’re using HassOS, why not use the configurator? Pretty sure that’s a step following installation in the getting started guide. So did you follow the getting started guide?
Home Assistant supports so many different devices, not everything has a native integration yet. They are adding more integrations that don’t require manual text entry with every update, it just takes time.
