+# To script is for running Home Assistant as a service and automatically starting it on boot.
+# Assuming you have cloned the HA repo into /home/pi/Apps/home-assistant adjust this path if necessary
+# This also assumes you installed HA on your raspberry pi using the instructions here:
+# https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/
+#
+# To install to the following:
+# sudo cp /home/pi/Apps/home-assistant/scripts/homeassistant-pi.sh /etc/init.d/homeassistant.sh
+# sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/homeassistant.sh
+# sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/homeassistant.sh
+#
+# If you want HA to start on boot also run the following:
+# sudo update-rc.d homeassistant.sh defaults
+# sudo update-rc.d homeassistant.sh enable
+#
+# You should now be able to start HA by running
+# sudo /etc/init.d/homeassistant.sh start
