Saw the [announcement](/blog/2017/04/30/hassbian-1.21-its-about-time/) yesterday for HASSbian 1.21 and got super excited?
|
|
|
|
Today we'll flash the latest HASSbian to a [Raspberry Pi Zero W](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/pi-zero/).
|
|
**With an added bonus** that besides for an USB cable for power, there's no need for any cables!
|
|
|
|
What you'll need:
|
|
- a Raspberry Pi Zero W (an amazing tiny computer with built-in wifi)
|
|
- a microSD card
|
|
- some source of USB power
|
|
- Wifi
|
|
- a desktop or laptop
|
|
|
|
Let's get to it!
|
|
|
|
First, download the HASSbian 1.21 image from [here](https://github.com/home-assistant/pi-gen/releases/tag/v1.21).
|
|
|
|
Unzip it.
|
|
|
|
Flash it to the microSD card. If you need a flash tool, try [Etcher](https://etcher.io/)
|
|
|
|
When the flashing finishes, remove it and plug it back in. You should see a drive called "boot".
|
|
|
|
Right in there, not in any folders, create a file called `wpa_supplicant.conf`.
|
|
|
|
The contents of the configuration file should be something like this:
|
|
(You may have to adjust for your configuration, hints [here](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md) )
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
network={
|
|
ssid="YOUR_WIFI_NETWORK_NAME_HERE"
|
|
psk="YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD_HERE"
|
|
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Next stick your SD card into the Raspberry Pi Zero W, and plug it in.
|
|
|
|
After about a minute, use your SSH client to connect to HASSbian (or `hassbian.local` from a Mac), with the username `pi`. The default password is `raspberry`.
|
|
|
|
It's a good idea to change the password. To do so, use the `passwd` command.
|
|
|
|
Next, type the following two commands into the SSH console:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable install_homeassistant.service
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start install_homeassistant.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Wait about 15-20 minutes and voilà you have your Home Assistant on your Raspberry Pi Zero W in 30 minutes.
|
|
|
|
To try it out, go to [http://hassbian:8123](http://hassbian:8123) or [http://hassbian.local:8123](http://hassbian.local:8123) if you're using Mac.
