Hello.
I’ve installed Home Assistant for Generic x86-64. I’ve used an ethernet cable to perform the setup. Now I need connect this PC by wifi. I’ve tried solutions found on some tutorials, like using for example an USB stick with configuration folder and my-network file, but I can’t select wifi when I try to change IP
If you used Ethernet, then that’s what HA is configured for, wifi-interface is not enabled, maybe not even reconiced, by either HA - OS or VM(if your running VM)
probably, the ways depends upon which HA(VM, Supervisor, HAOS etc. ) you are running, and whether its builtin or via USB
Don’t ask me how, i have never even EVER thought about running a server over WIFI(2 Ethernet, but NEVER WIFI)
EDIT: well i have had a few apache-webservers in VM-ware on windows for testing/dev purpose(easy to configure in VMware)
if there is a builtin wifi, you need to search this forum for configure(or run) wifi on HAOS, as it’s a Linux core , i think it’s either wlan0/wlan1 or wlpxxx. Thou again, it’s NOT recommended, AND maybe your buildin wifi device is not supported by the HAOS(build) , if not you could try with a USB(make sure that one is supported, and use that “USB” in your search term)
Open a new Topic, as you see the Orig Poster here didn’t get responses here, so it’s a bad idea asking in same “old” topic, and i run a vmware in windows, AND would never use wifi for a HA-server(most wont, so maybe thats why the OP didn’t get response , and you might just get same advice multiple times
I don’t know but I’m already flood my WiFi network because HA is connected by cable to google access point. I can’t use a direct access cable to the router. I don’t use HA to manage lights or so on but to monitoring heat pump, PV and home energy consumptions via mqtt (I think a lot of data).
My mini pc (bmax b2 pro) has wifi connection that it worked fine with windows system.
I tried different advices of HA forum but they didn’t work:
file my-network with USB
nmcli commands
ha network update command: wlan0 does not exist.
I don’t know what I’m wronging.
Thanks for your advices.
