Great instructional and I enjoy watching your teaching style. Great pace and communication

if the lights blink, do the system up again?

[NedKLee]

Great video, worked straight off the bat, much appreciated.

When I go to the local address for the first time it says it can't connect to network. Why? Do I need to set up some kind of router settings?

[guygillmore]

This worked flawlessly for me (once I remembered to plug in the ethernet cable). I am shocked and surprised at how simple it was. Five stars!

Do we need a zigbee dongle for comnecting any zigbee sensors?

[BonJoviFan]

Any update on how to add WiFi? Nothing seems to work for me. I’m using the raspberry pi 5 with home assistant 12.3. Won’t connect to WiFi at all.

hey mate, great video simple but very informative. ive just setup my 1st pi last week its a 5 4gb model. is there anyway to run home assistant and the normal pi os? ive got it running octoeverywhere on my bambu a1 at the moment.

Cheers

I've tried doing this process twice with the software loading the HA software to the SD card and finalizing it but when I plugged it to the monitor to see, nothing even came up, however trying to "burn" on the SD card another software like Raspberry PI's OS works fine, any ideas? Was really hoping to use my Raspberry PI 4 for a HA server.

could you make a video on how to install it on banana pi m1 plus?

[TheBioniXman]

Does not work as simply as you suggest. I have done the Pi bit and now booted it. I don't think that it is on the wifi for a start!

[davehug]

ever notice not a single one of these videos address how to add your network info to even connect.

[proflawson]

Nope. Like every RaspberryPi I’ve had, the micro sd that comes with is crap. Won’t even boot. I’ve never had a Pi project that just worked. This is no exception, unfortunately.
