Installing Home Assistant + Supervisor in Ubuntu on HDD Raspberry Pi 4

Introduction

This manual was compiled by me after several weeks of studying the forums, for those who want to go my way. Criticism is welcome.





Stack selection

Much has been said about Home Assistant (hereinafter referred to as HA for short), and, in my opinion, this is the most successful smart home system. On the topic of choice, you can read here:





Why HDD? Many times on the forums they wrote that a raspberry with Home Assistant on board eats SD cards one per year. In addition, HA also writes logs to what extent it is not clear. So no SD.

3. Home Assistant

, Home Assistant! curl -Lo installer.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/master/installer.sh







But we are in no hurry to launch it. Better yet, open it through vi installer.sh



. We find the line and # Pull supervisor image



after it we insert sleep 20



, and then we insert another line HASSIO_VERSION="latest"



. Switch to superuser mode sudo su



and run the script bash installer.sh --machine raspberrypi4-64



. We are waiting for the script to complete. It takes a while to load Home Assistant for the first time. Be patient. If everything went well, you can reach HA at http: // local ip raspberry : 8123. Do not forget to delete rm installer.sh



it is no longer needed.





That's all.
