@crsman15 Год назад

Thanks for the video. It was perfect. I'm about to set up my home assistant! This is my first time here btw!

@fasthowto Год назад

Sweet! I'm glad you found it helpful, and I'm super glad to hear you found the channel. I'm actually JUST now finishing up how to install Home Assistant on the NUC from that video, so if you have an old PC laying around that you wanted to install onto bare-metal, that video should be done in a few hours. Running as a VM on Windows is obviously possible, but it's not the preferred method for a production Home Assistant server. Windows might reboot on you because of updates, then the VM needs to be restarted, all sorts of stuff. I use it as a test/dev environment to play around in and explore and test stuff out before making the changes on my production Home Assistant server. In any event, thanks for watching, much appreciated! :)

@duheaumep Год назад

@@fasthowto would you recommend not installing in a VM but going bare metal for the reasons above?

@fasthowto Год назад

@@duheaumep It's not that I wouldn't recommend installing it as a VM - it just depends where that hypervisor is running, and what the purpose of that particular HA server is. I, myself, do run an HA server in Virtualbox on Windows. Now, this is NOT my production HA instance. I use it has a test/dev/lab machine where I can test stuff out before making a big mess of my "real" Home Assistant server. This helps keep the WAF high. Now, if you had a dedicated system running Proxmox or VMware or something similar - by all means, run it as a VM. Hope this helps!

@duheaumep Год назад

@@fasthowto thanks for the advice, I want to create a HA set up, and happy to buy a NUC for the purpose, sounds like I might just go straight to bare metal build :)

@fasthowto Год назад

@@duheaumep It's certainly the easiest way to get a an HA server that performs well and is easy to manage, but there are a couple advantages to Proxmox or VMware. If you're not in a rush, I'd wait a couple days for my next video to come out before making a decision. :)

I had an issue with Home Assist picking up my network. After a bit of digging it turned out that when I selected Bridged Adapter it hadn't defaulted to "Realtek PCI GbE Family Controller" in the sub dropdown as shown here. Once I made that change it worked.

Thank you! Glad I found your video. I have a bar with 19 TVs unfortunately it is a mixture of non Samsung products so control of those are not possible on the SmartThings app. Also I don't need to use a manufacturer login account to control the TVs or have my switch talk to the outside world and auto download annoying apps or updates.

@jessebauer3140 4 месяца назад

There are a few different reasons I can see to have elevation as an option. The main one would be cooking. If you ever look at your box of macaroni and cheese, it tells you to change your cooking time due to elevation. And with all the recipes that come through the Google Assistant and smart cooking, it will change your cooking times.

@wayneyeo186 2 месяца назад

Thank you for creating this video. I was having some trouble with the install, and it turned out the instructions i was following from another source were not clear a few technical details... ohhh say, ensuring everything is installed in admin mode, causes no end of herding cats problems. I followed your instructions, and everything fell into place.

@user-wy8jj8qu3r 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for the very clear explanation, great video. I do have a question for you though. Can I follow these instructions to install HAOS on an existing Windows 11 PC that I am currently running other programs on (Blue Iris, Channels DVR, etc.)? To put it another way, it won't delete my current OS or programs, correct? They will continue to work along side of the new HAOS?

@fasthowto 8 месяцев назад

Absolutely. This just runs as another piece of software. If you want to install it baremetal, I have another, more recent video on how to do that. I actually made a couple, so be sure to watch the updated one. The first method was a bit too difficult, in hindsight. Thanks for watching!

@duheaumep Год назад

hi, great video, what would you recommend as a min disk size for the NUC 250Gb SSD or more?

@fasthowto Год назад

Thanks! The Intel NUC that I used in the video (linked in the video description if you want to check out all the specs) came with a 256GB SSD. As for what side disk you would need for your particular use case, that depends on lots of different things. I'm actually working on a video right now about the different Home Assistant installation types, pros/cons, and what is needed for them. Be sure to subscribe to get notified as soon as I release it, and thanks for watching!

@alexgreen7459 3 месяца назад

Good vid! So i run blue iris with 6 cameras on windows. You think this method will slow the pc alot?

@fasthowto 3 месяца назад

That will depend on the resolution of the cameras, the specs of the PC, and what other services/VMs are running on the PC.

@theattorney6072 Год назад

Hello, can you still use the pc for office and web tasks with that windows install ? Also should WE create a dedicated folder for home assistant or should it be better to partition the SSD ?

@fasthowto Год назад

You can use the pc for whatever you like, and there is no need for a different partition. Great questions, thanks for watching!!

@tarun-khandelwal Год назад

What happens when the PC is turned off? Do the automations still work and are the smart devices connected with HA?

@WitherSkeleton55 Год назад

when I try to start it The virtual machine failed to boot. That might be caused by a missing operating system or misconfigured boot order. Mounting an operating system install DVD might solve this problem. Selecting an ISO file will attempt to mount it after the dialog is closed.

@mjcoughlan123 3 месяца назад

this is great info. Worked when I installed everything, but now that I had to reboot my laptop, HA isn't coming up anymore. I get the error msg: Site can't be reached. (IP Address took too long to respond.) When I went in to start the VB manager, I get this message: Failed to open image 'C:\Program Files\Home Assistant\haos_ova-12.1.vdi' for writing due to wrong permissions (VERR_VD_IMAGE_READ_ONLY). How do I fix this?

@fasthowto 3 месяца назад

That sounds like a file permission issue. Check to make sure that the "read only" checkbox isn't checked on the .vdi file, and check to make sure that you are running Virtualbox as administrator. Also, in the future, make sure the VM is cleanly shut down, and Virtualbox is shut down, prior to rebooting. Issues like these are the reason I only use Virtualbox for test/dev/tinkering, and not as my primary Home Assistant server. Windows Updates and unexpected reboots they cause can really give you headaches. Hope you were able to get it fixed, and thanks for watching!

Great question! Yes, it is possible. What you are describing is called "Dual-boot". I did a video on how to install HAOS onto an x86 PC that you may find valuable if you are going to go this route. Thanks for watching!

@tarun-khandelwal Год назад

Hi. So if we install HA this way. And when the laptop (or the Windows machine eg. PC) is turned off (not running) will the devices stay connected and the automatons will work? Or we need to keep the laptop always powered on for HA and smartthings smart devices to work.

Hey Jeff, I redid this and I've gotten much better at things...however, going on vaca this week...I still have to "stop" my my Virtual Box Manager (right click the 3 lines, hover over stop, then click power off) and then simply press "Start" immediately after and everything is fine again. If I don't do this, HA is completely unresponsive. Been like this since day one. I hope you're ok, man...haven't see you active so apologies if I'm bothering you, just wondering if you had a thought on this...there's not much when you search for a solution. Again, hope things are well! Paul

Yep, still here. Just been pretty busy in real life lately, unfortunately. New baby, job is crazy, you know how it is. Working on part 3 of the blue iris video, actually editing now. It's all recorded already. I used to have that issue with mine as well when I was running on an HA blue. My solution was to schedule a restart from within HA as an automation. Give that a shot and let me know if it helps. Hope all is well with you!!

@WoottonRivers Год назад

I've always assumed that the elevation affects the sunset and sunrise times.

@fasthowto Год назад

Could be? Although I would expect the map would have elevation information on it, so sunrise/sunset should be figured out from the map. My guess was always that it was for people who lived in a city in a high rise? Like, if your apartment was on the 20th floor it would be able to use the elevation to know that when you were at ground level, it would know you still weren't home? But as I said in the video, I really have no idea. Everything has worked fine for me leaving it at 0, but I think I'm actually at like 1200' ASL or something like that. Thanks for watching!

elevation is probably for barometric pressure

@fasthowto Год назад

That would require a pressure sensor... But also, my experience with such devices (high-end consumer ones such as Kestrel) is that they will take the pressure, temperature, and humidity, and tell YOU the elevation. Respectfully, I don't think that is why that field exists. Good guess, though, and thanks for watching!!
