The Raspberry Pi All-In-One Installer deploys a complete Home Assistant server including support for MQTT with websockets, Z-Wave, and the Open-Zwave Control Panel.
The only requirement is that you have a Raspberry Pi with a fresh installation of Raspbian Jessie/Jessie Lite connected to your network.
- Login to Raspberry Pi. For example with
ssh pi@your_raspberry_pi_ip - Run the following commands
$ wget -Nnv https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/fabric-home-assistant/master/hass_rpi_installer.sh
$ hass_rpi_installer.sh
Installation will take approx. 1-2 hours depending on the Raspberry Pi model the installer is being run against.
BRUH automation has created a tutorial video explaining how to install Raspbian on your Raspberry Pi and install Home Assistant using the All-In-One Installer.
Once rebooted, your Raspberry Pi will be up and running with Home Assistant. You can access it at http://your_raspberry_pi_ip:8123.
The Home Assistant configuration is located at /home/hass. The virtualenv with the Home Assistant installation is located at /srv/hass/hass_venv. As part of the secure installation, a new user is added to your Raspberry Pi to run Home Assistant as named, hass. This is a system account and does not have login or other abilities by design. When editing your configuration.yaml files, you will need to run the commands with "sudo" or by switching user.
Windows users - Setting up WinSCP to allow this seemlessly is detailed below.
By default, installation makes use of a Python Virtualenv. If you wish to not follow this recommendation, you may add the flag -n to the end of the install command specified above.
The All-In-One Installer script will do the following automatically:
- Create all needed directories
- Create needed service accounts
- Install OS and Python dependencies
- Setup a python virtualenv to run Home Assistant and components inside.
- Run as
hassservice account - Install Home Assistant in a virtualenv
- Build and install Mosquitto from source with websocket support running on ports 1883 and 9001
- Build and Install Python-openzwave in the Home Assistant virtualenv
- Build openzwave-control-panel in
/srv/hass/src/open-zwave-control-panel - Add both Home Assistant and Mosquitto to systemd services to start at boot
To upgrade the All-In-One setup:
- Login to Raspberry Pi
ssh pi@your_raspberry_pi_ip - Change to hass user
sudo su -s /bin/bash hass - Change to virtual enviroment
source /srv/hass/hass_venv/bin/activate - Update HA
pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant
Windows Users - Please note that after running the installer, you will need to modify a couple settings allowing you to "switch users" to edit your configuration files. The needed change within WinSCP can be seen here: Imgur
