There is not much to tell...it's straight-forward. For the sake of completeness below the notes about what I did. A Debian installation is available by default. This means that some dependencies for Home Assistant are missing. I haven't checked if a new build for the PocketCHIP would include them. So, after a `$ sudo apt-get update` installing those dependencies take a minute or two. @@ -46,14 +46,14 @@ $ cd ha $ source bin/activate ``` -If you haven't seen the next two commands already then you should definitiy visit our [frontsite](https://home-assistant.io/). +If you haven't seen the next two commands already then you should visit our [frontsite](https://home-assistant.io/). ```bash $ pip3 install homeassistant $ hass --open-ui ``` -With `surf` the browsing experience on the low-resolution display is not that great.
