Home Assistant Step-by-step Installation Guide on Raspberry Pi

Using a Raspberry Pi shouldn’t be complicated.

Installing Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi is a popular project for any Raspberry Pi owner. It’s popular because once connected to all your smart devices, it makes the Raspberry Pi really useful in your home setup (which is not the case with all projects). In this tutorial, I’ll show you each step to get it running easily and start automating your home.

Home Assistant is available as an image for the Raspberry Pi, which can be flashed to a SD card as a complete system. It’s also possible to create a docker container with Home Assistant, making it possible to use this application with other services installed on the same system.

The configuration folders (/home/pi:/hass-config) you suggest at 1:56 are inadequate: these would mean to copy the /hass-config container folder - which doesn't exist - to the /home/pi folder. They should rather be like /home/pi/hass-config:/config - which copies the /config folder in the container to /home/pi/has-config

So at 5:28, if I am running on just a Raspberry Pi do I still need to get docker? I am having issues with device connectivity and that is the part I’m confused about

Hi cant HA be installed in a pi zero 2 w?

[vishalmohan]

I have power consumption saved in SQL database (for every minute I am publishing energy values Example: 0.8kwh, 1.5kwh etc from CT coil). For consolidated power consumption value i just need to put a query for the required time period, for example if I put a query for february 1st to 30th, I get some value like 90 kwh (90 units). So my question is, can I integrate my use case with the home automation dashboard?

i have this problem when i try to boot only my rpi 4 it doesn't want to show the boot up start on screen i plugged in my mouse keyboard and a micro hdmi to hdmi to my desktop computer screen but still nothing but when i had my rpi plugged in to power and ethernet i could access the home assistant through my desktop browser i'm just wondering if i did everything correctly or is there something i'm missing ?

[taranagnew]

with the onboarding, can you set it up using a mobile device instead of the web?

Ok, but how integrate voice commands like via Google home mic speaker?

The Docker method has major limitations such as install addons...
