Add an account for Home Assistant Core called homeassistant.Since this account is only for running Home Assistant Core the extra arguments of -rm is added to create a system account and create a home directory.The arguments -G dialout,gpio,i2c adds the user to the dialout, gpio and the i2c group. The first is required for using Z-Wave and Zigbee controllers, while the second is required to communicate with GPIO.

Once you have activated the virtual environment (notice the prompt change to (homeassistant) homeassistant raspberrypi:/srv/homeassistant $) you will need to run the following command to install a required Python package.
Start Home Assistant Core for the first time. This will complete the installation for you, automatically creating the .homeassistant configuration directory in the /home/homeassistant directory, and installing any basic dependencies.
By working through this line by line, avoiding the diversions for other machines, I got it working. The only panic was after the last line ( sudo dpkg -i homeassistant-supervised.deb ) where nothing seemed to be working but after I went away and had a coffee, I was able to log on with :8123 and everything seems good now.
It seems obvious to me now that using a voice assistant means multiple microphone units distributed around the house (why have only one place where commands can be given?); and logically these satellites should be relatively cheap, with the bulk of the cpu-intensive work done on one shared base station.
This document tries to fast-track you to a working, extensible Home Assistant voice assistant; without all the experimenting, dead ends and a learning curves I went through. I do however also want to pass on enough understanding of how the pieces fit together and the issues involved.
i would first format a flash drive with the name CONFIG then i would download visual code studio then on that flash drive you have to create a folder named network and within that folder with visual studio a file named my-network then follow this link for the my network file. You have to do this on visual code studio witch i will leave the link for right here. If you have any more questions i am happy to help. All of this was found on the getting started page on homeassistant website
I would like to use Homeassistant Os and use another raspberry for other needs; but it is not possible for people like me (people who live in Turkey for example) due to prices of an old pc or a raspberry. Even if we take the price of a raspberry as 110 usd (which is not due to chip shortage) it is pretty expensive for us. 60% of the population here lives with 310usd per month.
Supervised installer script is gone. Now you have a shiny DEB package.
A broken one, where the os-agent package on aarch64 (e.g. raspberry pi 4) is not recognized, and as such the prerequisite is not satisfied, and apt/dpkg spit all kind of errors.
At this point load up home assistant in a computer browser or through the app and wait for home assistant to complete preparations. In my case it finished much faster than 20 minutes and I was able to complete the rest of the initial setup from my browser, and I now have had a working home assistant server.
These instructions are still working on new install on Raspberry Pi 4 on Home assistant 7.1
It took 4 days to find these instructions and they had it working in 20 mins
Thanks for the great instructions
I did some changes to the yaml config and wanted to restart the service, which I was not able to do.
Tried:
pi raspberrypi: $ sudo service hass-daemon restart
Failed to restart hass-daemon.service: Unit hass-daemon.service not found.
pi raspberrypi: $ sudo systemctl restart home-assistant.service
Failed to restart home-assistant.service: Unit home-assistant.service not found.

Going back to the homeassistant-satellite in github, we see under Wake word detection via a direct wyoming connection that we need to enable wyoming, then add a few additional parameters to the script/run command. In my case giving:
Instructions for setting up as a service are at GitHub - synesthesiam/homeassistant-satellite: Streaming audio satellite for Home Assistant, and I would only add to suggest you copy and paste your own /script/run command.
Agree 100% the problem with using docker for HA is that we are using an enterprise platform in the home. All of a sudden the convenience of using containers is watered down as it adds a layer of complexity to end users away from the Raspberry Pi running hass.io
In addition to the device tracking issue I had bought some of the Xiaomi bluetooth sensors and quickly realised I needed a different setup so I now run Esphome on an ESP32 module. Its great and covers the whole house for the sensors. For the device tracking though I changed to using the router with IP tracking.
I am not even sure if it is needed for a Raspberry or for so many upscaled backbones running bluetooth, it scares me too, for it is so easy to wreck your installation, and never being able to correct the faults.
So it means as long as there is no super coder who takes up the glove to code it for the Raspberry, then I think it is not for many here, and the highly acclaimed bluetooth integration is for raspberry users an empty shell.
I use RPi for Plex Server and Retropie, it is running raspbian, to be honest the only container i used was home assistant. Apparently I made the wrong choice to use docker container, instead of just installing it directly to raspbian directly without docker containers. I will reinstall it.
My Smart Home is mainly controlled by my smart home controller, Homey. I really like Homey, but one thing that I missed is a good smart home dashboard. Home Assistant, on the other hand, is a really versatile platform, which also allows you to create beautiful dashboards that interact with your smart home. To run Home Assistant I have used my favorite piece of hardware, a Raspberry Pi.
We are not only going to install Home Assistant on the Raspberry Pi. To interact with other smart home controllers, we are going to use MQTT. This is a messaging protocol that is used for IoT (Internet of Things) devices.
Sorry, missed that you are using Home Assistant OS. Make sure that you SSH into the Home Assistant docker container. And keep in mind that Python etc will be gone once you update HA. This topic might help you : -assistant.io/t/accessing-pip-or-python-on-home-assistant-os/331651
Home Assistant is an home automation hub. An home automation hub is a place where different devices with different protocols communicate with each other. This means you can link all your devices in just one place and build cool automations based on the state of all your devices.
1) Go to -assistant.io/hassio/installation/ and chose the appropriate image for your Raspberry Pi. We recommend using Raspberry Pi 3. Click on the Raspberry Pi 3 link to download the Hass.io image to your computer.
There are several add-ons you can add to get home assistant even better. We recommend installing Samba share and Open SSH. You can also install other add-ons that you might find useful.
In your file, you can see homeassistant at the beginning. This is a component itself, and it is the only mandatory component. introduction is another component, frontend, config and so on.
Hi Sara, how are you?
Due to Covid-19 pandemy, I have more time to dedicate to some stuff, one especially to Home Assistant.
I installed it, works file and now it looks like a bit different than your precious tutorial.
I ask you, if possible, to add, integrate, extend to some other features and possibility that HA is looking for. For example not only the possibility to have GPIO from the Raspy, but ie. use a dedicated add-on like ESPhome that includes ESP32 and the pre-cessor ESP8266.
What do you think about this? If you wish, I can test some your project even from here to double confirm that everything run okay. Thnaks !!
Many people have powerful enough NAS devices or home servers to also run docker. There is a Unraid Community App.To install make sure you have the community app plugin here. Then search for "Frigate" in the apps section within Unraid - you can see the online store here
Home automation isn't about being able to use your phone to turn out the lights. It's about your lights turning on and off by themselves, without the need for you to interact with them at all. They know when it's getting dark, they know when you're in bed, they even know if anyone is at home.
If this sounds like a home of the future, it isn't. You can have all of that and more by running the right software and creating the right automations. And the best part is that it doesn't need to cost you an arm and a leg; you can run it all from a cheap single board computer such as a Raspberry Pi.
Home Assistant is home automation software that allows you to integrate and control smart home devices that wouldn't normally work together. Instead of being tied down to restrictive ecosystems or requiring a small army of different smart hubs to control all your smart home devices, you can integrate a huge number of different devices into Home Assistant and control and automate them all from one place.
