page Updating Home Assistant Step to update Home Assistant. 2016-05-04 10:00 true false true true

The default way to update Home Assistant to the latest release, when available, is:

$ pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

Different installation methods as HASSbian, Raspberry Pi All-In-One Installer, Vagrant, or Virtualenv may have an alternative way for updating Home Assistant.

After updating, you must restart Home Assistant for the changes to take effect. This means that you will have to restart hass itself or the autostarting daemon (if applicable)

To avoid permission errors, the upgrade must be run as the same user as the installation was completed.

BRUH automation has created a tutorial video explaining how to upgrade Home Assistant.

In the event that a Home Assistant version doesn't play well with your hardware setup, you can downgrade to a previous release:

$ pip3 install homeassistant==0.XX.X

{% linkable_title Run the development version %}

If you want to stay on the bleeding-edge Home Assistant development branch, you can upgrade to dev.

The "dev" branch is likely to be unstable. Potential consequences include loss of data and instance corruption.

$ pip3 install --upgrade git+git://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.git@dev
