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 connected to your network.
- Login to Raspberry Pi. For example with
ssh pi@your_raspberry_pi_ip
- Run the following command
$ wget -Nnv https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/fabric-home-assistant/master/hass_rpi_installer.sh && bash hass_rpi_installer.sh
Note this command is one-line and not run as sudo.
Installation will take approx. 1-2 hours depending on the Raspberry Pi model the installer is being run against. The installer will identitfy what Raspberry PI hardware revision you are using and adjust commands accordingly. A complete log of the install is located at: /home/pi/fabric-home-assistant/installation_report.txt
The installer has been updated to simply log any errors encountered, but resume installing. Please consult the "installation report" if your install encountered issues.
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/.homeassistant
. The virtualenv with the Home Assistant installation is located at /srv/hass/hass_venv
. As part of the secure installation, a new user (hass) is added to your Raspberry Pi to run Home Assistant. 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 at the end of this page.
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
hass
service account - Install Home Assistant in a virtualenv
- Build and install Mosquitto v1.4.9 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
{% linkable_title Upgrading %}
To upgrade the All-In-One setup manually:
- 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
- Type
exit
to logout the hass user and return to thepi
user.
To upgrade with fabric:
- Login to Raspberry Pi
ssh pi@your_raspberry_pi_ip
- Change to
cd ~/fabric-home-assistant
- Run
fab upgrade_homeassistant
After upgrading, you can restart Home Assistant a few different ways:
- Restarting the Raspberry Pi
sudo reboot
- Restarting the Home-Assistant Service
sudo systemctl restart home-assistant.service
{% linkable_title Using the OZWCP web application %}
To launch the OZWCP web application:
- Make sure Home Assistant is not running! So stop that first
- Login to Raspberry Pi
ssh pi@your_raspberry_pi_ip
- Change to the ozwcp directory
cd /srv/hass/src/open-zwave-control-panel/
- Launch the control panel
sudo ./ozwcp -p 8888
- Open a web browser to
http://your_pi_ip:8888
- Specify your zwave controller, for example
/dev/ttyACM0
and hit initialize
Don't check the USB box regardless of using a USB based device.
{% linkable_title Using the GPIOs %}
Please note that if you are using any components for Home Assistant that would use the GPIOs on the RPI, you will need to grant the default AiO user hass
access to the GPIOs. Run the following command sudo adduser hass gpio
while in a terminal session on your Pi. This is a one time configuration change to allow All In One Installer based Home Assistant access to the GPIOs.
{% linkable_title WinSCP %}
If you are Windows users who is using WinSCP, please note that after running the installer, you will need to modify settings allowing you to "switch users" to edit your configuration files. The needed change within WinSCP is: Environment -> SCP/Shell -> Shell and set it to sudo su -
.
