Can i use homeassistant in a completely offline environment? The whole local network won’t connect to internet after install. Is that OK? Will the function of control local device unavailable? Can i still use components(like mqtt or so)?

If you are using Hassio you need an Internet connection when first setting it up. After that you can operate locally. Things that require an internet connection like TTS, Chromecast devices, and cloud services wont work and you wont be able to update but HA will communicate with local devices (like…

Of course you can. Why on earth would you need to connect to the internet?

Because Hassio has hard coded Google ntp servers?

Pretty sure it can be changed [image] Hassio not suitable for offline environments (no local control, privacy second)? Home Assistant OS I don’t think anyone has posted the the ntp servers can be changed and are not hard coded. (since November) You could change them befor…

Hm, if that is a reason not to use the internet you might as well not play online games or watch netflix either. Cause who knows some circuit becomes fried and your movie stops playing. (It is a joke ey, don’t take it personal) Anyways, I understand why you would want it to work offline. In my situ…

[image] jimz011: I think going fully offline is something that is nearly impossible unless you like to keep it all very simple. (As in don’t use automations that requires a certain state that can only be fetched through the internet). I disagree, a bit. Using non cloud connected sensors and c…

Nah but that is what I meant. To take full advantage of Home Assistant, you can’t just go offline only. For example the weather example you just said. Ofcourse all things that can be offline should be done offline. Basically what I meant is that to get the most of HA you can’t go fully offline (alt…

What will happend if I use homeassistant in local internet(without WAN network connection)
