I follow all steps and when I boot with the SD card loaded I get the initial robotic voice as heard in the video stating initializing and I believe a second one saying transferring but after that nothing and the camera still shows in the wyze app and no web ui at the cams IP. Any ideas what happened/how to fix? Also, on the github site the last step mentions SSH keys, but it doesn't appear you did anything with that.
Chuck, Brilliant presentation, just starting out with frigate, currently migrating from Blue Iris. Thanks for sharing your config because it connected the dots and now I understand some of the issues I was creating and the process to streamline my configuration. Will update my Wyze 3 cam as per your direction. Thanks !!
Is this opener a LJ8900W? I was working with a LJ8900W over the weekend that looks identical. I was having issues where door control worked but status was really slow to update. If the status updated it was normally several minutes after the door status changed. Controls generally seemed to work. It was odd and still don't know why it wasn't working normally.
It's a Liftmaster 8500W but I bet it is similiar. I'd try RATGDO firmware update with ESPHome maybe. I had a few weird issues when filming the series vs actually installing that was fixed with a fresh firmware flash
@@ChuckBuilds The RATGDOs I was using are the ones from Gelidus Research. Turning my testing a different points I tried both the original RATGDO firmware and the Gelidus Research version adapted from the Konnected blaQ GDO firmware. Both seemed to produce similar results. It seemed like control was working but communication was either not working or really slow. I'll have to mess with it more, unfortunately the openers these units were purchased for are 3 hours away. I'm going to have to do some more testing on some friends openers that are more local to try and figure out my issues. The thing that is weird about the LJ8900W is the buttons are just single green buttons. Almost like maybe it's security plus 1.0 but when I set the firmware to 1.0 nothing worked. It only partially worked when I had it set to 2.0.
I've got a video on my channel about this. Primarily it's about ease of installation, power consumption, and delegation of system resources. A super high end PC is wasted just running HAOS when it can run HAOS and a bunch of other things. Virtualizing on top of windows is not a recommended way to run it as it will likely have stability and performance issues. Installing it directly on a low power PC is a great way to ensure 24/7 uptime, give old hardware a second life, and likely keep a lighter footprint on your power bill if spec'd properly.
@@ChuckBuilds very cool! i just printed one myself and it gives me a laugh every time i see it. funny enough, it was also the first thing i printed myself too
Hey Chuck, great video. After investing 1x hours in other vids telling me to flash HA via balenaetcher with no succes, I finally found your video. So I directly flashed HAOS to the SDD. Unfortunately just before the HAOS home screen, it keeps spamming thousands of lines (to fast to read). When I unplug and reboot the system it tells me that it started in rescue mode. Any ideas what I could do. (Tried to flash the SSD already twice). Many thanks in advance
Will these instructions also work on a regular PC as well? I have been using a MicroPC, but I also have Frigate running from HA and I have now noticed that the CPU of the micro seems to be taxed from time to time despite having a Coral USB installed. Additionally, the full PC will allow for more internal Storage for the NVR function of Frigate with full speed of the HD Connection rather than network storage or USB expansion. The Regular PC I can go to an i7 vs i5, and provides more RAM, and dedicated graphics card. I understand it's going to use more power, but that is not really a concern. Thoughts?
Yes you could but I would be more concerned about "wasting" resources by having it all tied up in HomeAssistant. Might be a good chance to check out Proxmox which would let you run HomeAssistant OS as a Virtual machine (VM) but still let you run other things like Frigate on it's own or in docker.
I had a German Keybord so the Password was always wrong until i figured out how to set the language to german and dissable english, then i could enter the password. it works now thx
I think you’d just add a volume in portainer, not necessarily mount a whole drive. I’ve been using Unraid for this so I’m not immediately sure on how that would work
I have reached the point where I am able to boot up HA on the Optiplex, but I have no idea how to access it from my other devices. Nothing I try seems to work. Any ideas?
Hi there, have you been able to access it from a web browser on another device? http:IPADDRESS:8123 ? If that doesn't work, make sure an IP address is showing on the host device screen.
Additional hardware. I have additional videos on my channel with how to set up but I prefer the usb dongles, even though there are other ways to do it - the dongles are straightforward and easily replaced if needed
So is there anyway to connect the Wyze cam V3 to a home network that doesn’t have internet and view the Wyze cam through your phone still? Doesn’t need to be through the Wyze app. I’ll use whatever. I have both android and IOS.
Hi i have in installed it and no matter what i do i keep geiing [WARN] Home Assistant CLI not starting! Jump into emergency console i have found forms saying login but can not get past it
Hi @ChuckBuilds, thanks for the video. I did method 1. HA boot on my computer fine and IPv4 addresses for eno1 is showing. But when I try to access it with the ip address or the url homeassistant.local.8123, the site is unreachable. Any ideas? Thanks
Thanks for sharing your experience and enriching ours. I finally did HAOS setup in the most efficient way. However it seems we need to connect to an Ethernet outlet without which the setup was not able to hook up to internet over WiFi and complete the setup. Am I missing something?
Many thanks for the video it helped. But I had to figure it out at somepoint. My case on August 2024, Ubunta 24.04 Follow the video until @11:15. DO NOT copy the ubuntu dependencies for Etcher. Continue normally. When done, your system may ask you that there is no OS to run, plug in the USB again, and make sure to set the BIOS again (UEFI) and (Disable Secure Boot). Then remove the USB. ChuckBuilds has many updated videos than this, but I only saw them after I figured it out, they also didn't appear in the top list on youtube as this one Many thanks once again!
hey mate, what format is required on the flash drive?, after balena writes the ubuntu file to the flash drive it tells me that i need to format the flash drive for it work.
@@dk-uj4yd in your web browser, when you go to the IP address make sure it is formatted like : IPADDRESS:8123/ for example mine is 192.168.86.206:8123/
I use the proxmox one for this channel, not as my daily driver. I started on a pi but have since moved to hosting HAOS as a VM on Unraid. It’s not “better” it’s just one less machine I have running.
Nice video!!! quick and stupid question: with the firmware on the Wyze camera means that the camera cannot be controlled from the Wyze App right? This is a feature that I am looking for to not rely on their Cloud service at all but I want to double check. Thanks!
Correct. It is no longer responsive in the app after the firmware. I probably should’ve clarified that was why we remove the Wyze logo and motion boxes before installing it. With this firmware, it’s all local and processing motion and person detection, and saving recordings, through Frigate (or another nvr)
@@ChuckBuilds thanks for the confirmation. One more: is the video streaming good and responsive in the web interface? I did change the firmware on v2 but it was too slow
I have been learning to build virtual machines (VM) and when HA appeared to be something that would solve a problem for me I found that it was available VM format to download. It turned out to be the easiest VM that I have setup and it's been running non-stop for months on my NAS now. Brilliant.
Just wanted to thank you SO much for this video and all the steps! I had been so frustrated with VM's crashing almost constantly. I thought I was going to have to give up... But this video saved me. Thank you! Thank you! Love the HA videos, and I hope you continue to make them!
Do you mean on the screen of the device that is hosting HomeAssistant? You will only see the command line there. You need to access the GUI from a web browser
I’ve created an account but never got past that screen I have my username and password wrote down but when I try to sign in it says incorrect username or password
Hi, I've been struggling with this for a while and getting: "Failed to call service alarm_control_panel/alarm_arm_home. Validation error: Arming requires a code but none was given for alarm_control_panel.intrusion_alarm" My HA version is 2024.6.1 A hint from someone will be highly appreciated.
@@ChuckBuilds i follow everything in your video but when i run the command all it does is give me this error the image file C:\user\xx\Desktop\immich go\immich-go.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine
Have you tried it? It might be on by default. Otherwise, if there is no option, you probably can't force it. It would need to be supported by the motherboard.
Hi chuck. Thank you so much for the video! I have successfully boot HA into the ssd. However when I restarted the laptop it keeps giving the message:"' No bootable device''. I'm using quite an old laptop Hp Presario cq56 with intell celeron. Not sure how to fix this
So I just restored the home assistant os on my hard drive from Ubuntu, and now, the computer is stuck in its loading screen” protected by hp sure start”. I couldn’t find the place to disable safe boot, or uefi. Could you help?
So I am picking up my micro PC tomorrow and starting my HA journey this weekend, this video was recommended from a friend and man am I glad he did, such a straightforward and concise directions - Will check out the updated video now as I see you mention Balena is no longer the way to go - I assume we can just mount the .iso file now. Thanks Chuck!
