Hi everyone,
I need help as my Home Assistant setup has become completely inaccessible after a power outage.
My Setup:
Device: Raspberry Pi 5
Installation Method: Home Assistant OS
Storage: SD card
The Issue:
I can no longer access Home Assistant from my browser using http://192.168.xx:8123 or http://homeassistant.local:8123. It keeps showing the message:
“This site can’t be reached.”
I’ve tried several commands from the Home Assistant CLI, but nothing seems to work.
What I’ve Tried So Far:
Connected a monitor and keyboard directly to the Pi and accessed the Home Assistant CLI.
Tried running:
ha core restart
ha core rebuild
ha host reboot
Checked network settings with ha network info, and the IP address matches what I’ve been using.
Tried restoring a backup, but I get the following error:
“Invalid password”, even though I was never prompted for a password.
SSH Issue (Port 22):
I’ve also tried to fix SSH, but I keep seeing this message:
“SSH port is disabled. Prevent start of SSH server.”
I’m unable to connect via SSH from any device on my network. I tried resetting the network settings using:
ha network update eth0 --ipv4-method auto
But it didn’t solve the issue with port 22 being closed.
Questions:
Could this be a network issue or a corrupted SD card?
Is there any way to reset my network settings from the CLI?
How can I re-enable SSH access to troubleshoot further?
I feel like I’ve hit a wall, and I’d really appreciate any advice or guidance!
Thanks in advance for your help!
