Common tasks on Hassbian Instructions on how to do common tasks on Hassbian. /docs/hassbian/common-tasks/

Login to the Raspberry Pi

To login to your Raspberry Pi running Hassbian you're going to be using a ssh client. Depending on your platform there are several alternatives for doing this. Linux and Mac OS generally have a ssh client installed. Windows users are recommended to download and install the ssh client Putty.

Connect to the Raspberry Pi over ssh. Default user name is pi and password is raspberry. Linux and Mac OS users execute the following command in a terminal.

$ ssh pi@ip-address-of-pi

Windows users start Putty, enter the IP address of the Raspberry Pi in the Host name field and port 22 in the Port field. Then click Open and a terminal window will open. Enter the credentials. Default user name is pi and password is raspberry.

Optionally, starting with Windows 10 anniversary update, you can use the built-in 'Bash on Windows' to use SSH if you have enabled Developer mode and have installed the "Windows Subsystem for Linux (beta)" feature.

Start/Stop/Restart Home Assistant

Log in as the pi account and execute the following commands:

$ sudo systemctl stop home-assistant@homeassistant.service

Replace stop with start or restart to get the desired functionality. To get the current state of the homeassistant.service replace stop with status.

Update Home Assistant

You can use hassbian-config to automate the process by running sudo hassbian-config upgrade homeassistant

Log in as the pi account and execute the following commands:

$ sudo systemctl stop home-assistant@homeassistant.service
$ sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
$ source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
$ pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant
$ exit
$ sudo systemctl start home-assistant@homeassistant.service

This will in order do the following:

  • Stop the Home Assistant service running on Hassbian
  • Open a shell as the homeassistant user running the Homeassistant service and that has ownership over the Home Assistant installation.
  • Change into the virtual Python environment at /srv/homeassistant/ containing the Home Assistant installation.
  • Upgrade the Home Assistant installation to the latest release.
  • Exit the shell and return to the pi user.
  • Start the Home Assistant service.

Manually launch Home Assistant

Log in as the pi account and execute the following commands:

$ sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
$ source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
$ hass

This will start Home Assistant in your shell and output anything that ends up in the log and more into the console. This will fail if the Home Assistant service is already running so don't forget to stop it first. If you want the log output to be colored, execute hass --script check_config first. This will install the colorlog module.

Check your configuration

Log in as the pi account and execute the following commands:

$ sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
$ source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
$ hass --script check_config

This will output any errors in your configuration files to console.

Read the Home Assistant log file

Log in as the pi account and execute the following commands:

$ sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
$ cd /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant
$ nano home-assistant.log

This will in order do the following:

  • Open a shell as the homeassistant user.
  • Change directory to the Home Assistant configuration directory.
  • Open the log file in the nano editor.

Optionally, you can also view the log with journalctl. Log in as the pi account and execute the following commands:

$ sudo journalctl -fu home-assistant@homeassistant.service

Edit the Home Assistant configuration

Log in as the pi account and execute the following commands:

$ sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
$ cd /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant
$ nano configuration.yaml

This will in order do the following:

  • Open a shell as the homeassistant user.
  • Change directory to the Home Assistant configuration directory.
  • Open the configuration file in the nano editor.

It's generally recommended that you read the Getting started guide for how to configure Home Assistant.

Change locale, timezone and keyboard layout

$ sudo raspi-config
