Switched from AIO to HASSIO, need help with basic setup

Installation Home Assistant OS

I recently moved from HA AIO to HASSIO. Took me forever to get the 64GB sd card to work. Here’s my issue: I booted up HASSIO from the image. Raspberry Pi3B plugged into the router. I can see HASSIO on the network. I am fairly new to Raspberry Pi/Linux, was just getting familiar with the whole Rasbian Jesse version of linux. I think that’s what it was called. Now with HASSIO, did I lose what I called the DOS prompt. What do I have to do to make it wireless and disconnect from the router? DO I have to plug in the keyboard and HDMI to the Pi and configure it as before? Is there a desktop that I can connect to, to change the user name/password of the Pi? I tried connecting to it from my windows 7 laptop using PUTTY. It never makes any connection. I do see HASSIO on my network and can see the configuration.YAML. What now? Thank you all in advance. Nick

try to follow the get started guide and all of its pages, they are geared towards hassio and should answer most of your questions.

I just noticed, I forgot to say thank you.

THANK YOU! I will go back and take a look at it. I have a busy life, will get to it when I have a chance. Starting from scratch… Building that muscle memory, you know. : )

Edit… I just got my PUTTY/SSH working. Next:

  1. Making sure wireless is turned on .
  2. Getting Mosquitto MQTT up and running

How to get to this file here?
https://docs.resin.io/reference/resinOS/network/2.x/#wifi-setup
I don’t know how to get to the boot partition.
According to HASSIO; Mosquitto MQTT is running. How do I get the mosquitto IP address?

Thanks

To get to the boot partition, you need to put the card in your PC.
Why do you need the MQTT IP address? I use MQTT but have never needed this. If you need it for a Sonoff, just use the Pi address.

This is how I ran my temp sensors using a Wemos D-1 Mini in Arduino: Worked great in Home Assistant AIO. I just booted my sensor again and it came alive. Will have to add it now in the configuration.yaml and give it a whirl.

// Create the MCP9808 temperature sensor object
Adafruit_MCP9808 tempsensor = Adafruit_MCP9808();

// Connect to the WiFi
const char* ssid = “MYSSID”;
const char* password = “SSIDPASSWORD”;
const char* mqtt_server = “192.168.0.165”;
Added the sensor to thte configuration.yaml, here’s what gets displayed.

Here’s a snippit of the configuration.yaml

Weather prediction

sensor:

  • platform: wunderground
    api_key: ###############
    monitored_conditions:

    • alerts
    • temp_f
    • wind_dir
    • wind_mph
    • weather
    • weather_1d_metric
    • weather_2d_metric
    • weather_3d_metric
    • weather_4d_metric

  • platform: mqtt
    state_topic: “Upstairs/Mbr/Temp”
    name: “MBR”
    unit_of_measurement: “F”

Did you install the MQTT broker in HAssio? (Addon)

Yes, I did. In HASSIO as an (Addon). I was thinking of creating a new thread. Since HASSIO is now installed on my Pi3b, running and I can connect to it via SSH. Would you agree? Then I can break it down into categories. IE Wifi, MQTT, etc
In the mean time… I added this to the configuration.yaml and the sensor icon shows up but not the data(temperature).

mqtt:
broker: core-mosquitto
username: username
password: password

  • platform: mqtt
    state_topic: “home/bedroom/temperature”
    name: “MBR”
    unit_of_measurement: ‘°F’

What did I forget?
