Run a specific version

{% assign current_version = site.current_major_version | append: "." | append: site.current_minor_version | append: "." | append: site.current_patch_version %}

{% if page.installation != "os" and page.installation != "supervised" %}

In the event that a Home Assistant Core version doesn't play well with your hardware setup, you can downgrade to a previous release. In this example {{current_version}} is used as the target version but you can choose the version you desire to run.

{% endif %}

{% if page.installation == "os" or page.installation == "supervised" %}

You can use the CLI to upgrade to a specific version ({{current_version}} in this example), to downgrade your installation you should do a partial restore of a backup instead.

ha core update --version {{current_version}} --backup

The --backup flag here ensures that you have a partial backup of your current setup incase you need to downgrade.

{% elsif page.installation == "container" %}

docker pull {{ site.installation.container }}:{{current_version}}

You then need to recreate the container with the new image.

{% elsif page.installation == "core" %}

1. Stop the Home Assistant service.

2. Switch to the user that is running Home Assistant

   sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
   

3. Activate the virtual environment that Home Assistant is running in

   source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
   

4. Download and install the version you want

   pip3 install homeassistant=={{current_version}}
   

5. When that is complete start the service again for it to use the new files.
