Tried to make a copy of SD card and now can't connect to HA

I would suggest plugging in a TV/monitor and watch the boot sequence to see if you are hanging up somewhere.

Hi Bluey,

No… The IP address is the same. Checked router port forwarding and everything looks okay.

Hi Dixey,

I’ve never done that… I’ll google it to how.

Thanks,

Keith

Forgot to say Thanks!!

I am assuming you are running on a PI, just plug a tv into the hdmi port, restart and watch.

What has port forwarding have to do with it? Nothing.

Here is a screenshot of the pi with a TV connected to HDMI port.
It just keeps scrolling this same data. Still can’t connect to it.

This looks like the bootloop problem. Check the MQTT V3 topic and delete the discovery.json file

Hello,

I no longer can see hassio under my Network using Windows Explorer.
With that said how would I delete the discovery.json file??

Keith

I used the ssh connection

check this:

Okay… let’s turn this PI into a workstation :slight_smile:
Now with the monitor functioning, do you have a bluetooth or wifi keyboard with a dongle you can plug into one of the usb ports?
If so, you should be able to interrupt the loop you are in with a Ctrl-C and get a login prompt.

okay… I’m at a HassOS prompt.

login as hassio and try using the command line interface (i.e. hassio ha start)

a hassos prompt would be undesirable. Do you mean a Hassio prompt?

No… My prompt is hassOS.
How do I get to the hassio prompt??

try “boot system0” or “boot system1” ?

I’m still in boot loop mode.
I’m not able to log in with my user and password.

What is looping in this situation is the supervisor. If you can get back to that place from your picture, you hit enter and then use “root”.

Well! That was the ticket.
HA is back up and running perfectly!
MQTT is also up and running.

Many thanks for your help. Great job on the video by the way.
