need help connecting
so
start with installing putty from the link i've sent
meanwhile ill try to figure out if homeassistant has a default user and pw or no
if not than you'll need a screen
which putty is for mac?
i am not sure gimme a min
dont use any apple stuff
https://www.puttygen.com/download-putty at the bottom of the page there is a mac guide
i cant help with a mac install
since i never used any apple stuff
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.101 port 22: Connection refused
can i get a screenshot of where you typed in the pw and see how you set it up
ip, port etc
in putty i mean
You need to enable ssh in the imager or user a display
i doubt you can edit those for homeassistant os
Uh your right about that
he most likely needs a screen and set manually
And not sure how the config works, so you'll need a display
Yeah
but i'd like to gun it and maybe it just works π maybe its preenabled
but best and safest bet with the least work is just get a screen going on
and we help you than
I'm pretty sure that's why it gave that error
If you do not have a display to use we can also edit the config from your mac
could be a user error since he dosent know what the login is
Oop thought you got that, that might not be accessible via config cause it's encrypted
yeah no he jsut sent the sc thats why i asked for sc of what he typed
I'll leave you to it I gotta talk to someone
to se if he specified the user at all
thanks good luck to u π
π, if I need good luck it's a bad time
sorry just been for tea haha
what does the button on the pi do?
what button?
which
there is a white button by the led light
pi 5? idk never had pi 5
well i pressed and held it and now its working sort of
nope forget sort of its now working π€£
could be reset btn
reboot*
seems like its a power button
yh thats what i did
so ur pi was probably off or on halt and thats why nothing worked
probably π€£
i did say i was new haha
i never had pi 5
so ... i just now google and found out about the button
i thought it might be easier to start with a newer one, i only got the 4gb ram tho
it is ... and its the best one
thats a good start then, just got to work out how to setup home assistant now π€£ iv used the ikea one for a while but wanted to upgrade to other stuff
yeah thats interesting
but its simple and all guides
exist
im getting there with it slowly now
