This worked perfectly, and let me get a head start on Home Assistant before my HA Yellow showed up. I think you've hit a perfect sweet spot for your channel tutorials of a whole bunch of people that are new to HA trying to figure out how to use it, while all the existing tutorials are using old(er) versions of HA.

Just playing around with HA at this stage but this was short and sweet, thanks. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Hello. I’m super new to home assistant but have to say this is one of the greatest videos I’ve seen to easily set up home assistant I’ve found. A little fast paced but I was able to install my first home assistant. Looking forward to watching more of your content to learn about the platform. Thank you.

Great video. Worked perfectly. Thank you.

This is a really good tutorial, I've just gotten into smartening up my home so everything is new to me (been a while since I've had that feeling with tech). But another thing I've also got into recently, is wanting to add a server to my home (so I don't need to keep my main PC on to access files, also gonna have my plex server on it). While it's not set in stone, I'm thinking I want to use Windows Server, as Windows is what I know the most, would the installation of Home Assistant on Windows Server be the same as in this video? Thanks mate. :)

Edit: Just looked at some of your other videos you have, guess I'm gonna be spending a bit of time watching your videos, great channel you have!

Started with old laptop but now running it on a Dell Wyse 5070 (added M2 Sata drive), using HA OS Generic x86-64 version.  This is another option for those with the capability to run on VM or even on one of those over priced Raspberry Pi if they can even find one.

Also following directions.

Just found you and I have to say how much I appreciate you just getting on with it. I am sick of watching tutorials where people take 5 times longer to say something than required. I very much appreciate your style of tutorial. Going through all you others now.

When I ran START it finishes quicker than on your video (2:17) and doesn't look like the image and there is no IP Address. It mentions "mapping table". Wondering if you can help?

[bigayat]

I followed your video but when I imputed the address on my browser the preparing home assistant interface hs been loading for more than 30 minutes now.. Any help?

Can you use Zigbee Dongle eg. Sonoff 3.0 zigbee so just plug it in your PC and use it the same way raspberry pi would?

Saved me a lot of stress. Only have experience running Hassio on Linux servers with virtualizing. Switched to Docker where my Skyconnect ZHA was no longer supported as it has Thread firmware. Had to make a quick Hass OS just to unflush the updated firmware.

Nice, quick, to the point video. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

[speedoso]

Thanks for the tutorial. However I do have a question. How can I acces/change the configuration.yaml files? thanks

[kilohertz]

Great quick video, thx! I tried installing Virtual Box but it needs Python, which I don't have, and installing it looks like a lengthy involved process. Is it really needed for this to work? If so, I'll find a tutorial on how to install it. Cheers

[DINSTAAR-FPV]

Thank you for making this video! <3

[dunem]

I just get "Preparing home assistant web page" and nothing changes

[BadEnoughDudeRescues]

Hey great vid! Was able to set up with ease. I'm trying to set up a zigbee USB antenna, but it's not being detected in my HA browser. Do I need to make any changes to my VM instance?

[maximilianullrich]

Awesome Video, I really like subscribing to and supporting new channels and yours looks like it has a lot of potential.
