Unable to access home assistant

Configuration
1

HI, I have just installed home assistant but am not able to access it on my web browser using the ip and 8123 port, It gives me a message this site cant be reached and ip refused to connect . I also port forwarded 8123 on my router.
when i run sudo systemctl status home-assistant.service -l, It gives the following results.
● home-assistant.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

What would i need to do to fix this, or what am i doing wrong? thanks for future reply’s :).

2

What method of installation did you use and what device did you install home assistant on?

3

I used the Raspberry pi all in one installer following BRUH Automation and am using the raspberry pi 3

4

Run the following command on your Pi:

sudo /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass --script check_config -c /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant

any errors will show up in red.

5

This is what it gave me after running the sudo.
sudo: /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass: command not found

6

You can use the locate command to see where hass is installed. Locate isn’t installed by default, so install it:

sudo apt install locate

Once it is installed you need to update the database:

sudo updatedb

After the locate database has been updated run:

locate hass

On my Pi running Hassbian it is located here:

/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass
7

when running your first command i get this error.

Try

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt get upgrade

the try installing locate:

sudo apt-get install locate

I’ve been using a newer version of apt on other systems, than the one included in the Hassbian image.

after running
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt get upgrade
and
sudo apt-get install locate

This is what happened:

When i ran locate hass, i found that it was under USR and not SRV here is what it gave:

pi@hassbian:~ $ locate hass

So I run your previous suggestion, still give the message command not found.
sudo /srv/homeassistant/bin/hass --script check_config -c /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant

Would this not run due to the directory being wrong, if so how would i change it?

10

If the above is a full listing of what locate finds, it looks like your is missing several directories.

11

Have you tried it this way?

sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant

source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate

hass --script check_config

12

Yes this seems true. How would i reset my sd card so that i can reinstall the program?
i also ran the hass check config code and it says command not found.

13

It would probably be best to rewrite the hassbian image to your SD card. I use Etcher. You can write the image directly to the SD card, no need to unzip it.

14

No need to reset/format sd card, etcher will take care of it.

https://home-assistant.io/docs/hassbian/installation/

15

How is this possible because i used Etcher to put hassbian onto the SD card now when i use it to re-flash it with hassbian it says the SD card is to small for the image?

16

What size sd card are you using? 4GB seems to be the minimum size.

17

I am using a 16GB sandisk ultra

18

Where are you seeing SD card is to small for the image message?

19

I managed to reinstall hassbian
