FIXED Issue when installing Balena Etcher in Ubuntu. (didn't work in the last few days) Updated the command in the blog post: www.simplysmart.house/blog/how-to-install-home-assistant-on-x86-pc#install-balena-etcher-in-ubuntu
@@reshape9190 Just to confirm, I just now successfully installed it on Ubuntu 22.04.02 and flashed the image, So try to give me some more details and I will do my best to assist.
I really appreciate the help. I tried several times to get this to work using other peoples videos, and yours was the only one that worked. Before this I have been using a pi with a SD card, and then I moved up to a solid state drive, but my system was getting very big and that started to have problems, So I decided to get a Dell Optiplex 3050 and I spent 2 days trying to get this to work, and nothing was working until I made it here. So now I'm just trying to work out some small issues. I guess the only weird thing about this new set up is that there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off the computer other than long pressing the physical button on the computer, or I guess pulling out the power cord, but hopefully I won't need to turn it off. Thanks for the detailed help.
Glad it worked for you Ron! I know this type of video's can become stale pretty quickly, so I check every few days to ensure that everything is working as it should. As for shutting down your computer, you can use SSH with the following command: "ha host shutdown" You can watch this video where I demonstrate how to install an SSH client, starting at 0:45: ua-cam.com/video/dlxRniznsUk/v-deo.html
Of all the videos and tutorials that I've seen, this is the best by far!!! Straight forward and without any unnecessary drive swaps or anything like that. Got home assistant up and running on Dell Optiplex in about 10 mins. I fiddled with a broken mouse must longer than that. :) Thank you so much.
THANK YOU! This was so simple the way you explained and edited things to make it easy. I've never done this sort of thing, and got Ubuntu running then HAOS running faster than i have ever gotten Windows installed and setup which i've been using for 30 years. Brilliant!
I also have a NUC but I hate that thing only having USB 3.0 ports which causing issue with my USB Zigbee coordinator, even with all those USB 2.0 extensions or USB 2.0 Hub with external power. I bought off a used 7th gen Dell 3050 micro which had 2 ports of USB 2.0 goodness, plug th Zigbee coordinator there without any extension whatsoever and it worked immediately. I think even the Dell 3070 Micro still also have that USB 2.0 ports
Thanks for a great video, I have installed the software on my HP laptop, but I had to use a browser from another device to access it. My question is : how could I use the same laptop to access the Home Assistant if I am able to install a browser ?
Glad you found it helpful! Regarding your question, not by using this method, But you can achieve that by installing Home Assistant on a Windows machine for example, You can check my video about that: ua-cam.com/video/jcxH9KwCRQE/v-deo.html
Thanks, I’m glad you found it helpful! Yes, it should be fairly simple to create a backup from your pi and load it on your Intel PC, Go to settings->system->backups->create full backup Then you can use that file at the onboarding stage of your Intel.
Thanks for great video, I followed your recommended steps and I installed the Home assistant on my HP laptop , however to access the software, I had to use another device. Here is my question, can I install a browser on same laptop and access the Home Assistant ?

HI great video thanks. the flash to the diskonkey is taking hours ? How can i debug to figure out the issue? I tried with a 2tb disk it gave a warning that the dik is very large.. i allowed it.. but after 2 hrs i crashed the balenaetcher ..then a 16GB also same issue.. Another question Must i flash the usb only on the target computer? Regards
Thank you for your feedback! The Ubuntu OS should be flashed onto the disk on key. It usually takes just a few minutes. You can flash the USB on any machine you prefer. Let me know if that helps!
Hei og takk for en god video. Eg har klart å sette opp Home Assistant on thin client og fått AMS leseren opp på nett. Men eg får ikkje disse to til å snakke sammen og skjønner ikkje helt hvor det går galt. I amsleser bruker eg HA IP som Host og legger inn brukernavn og passord. Ingenting skjer. Er det nødvendig at MPQT er innstalert i HA?
You might need to add a Bluetooth proxy to the setup, but yes Home Assistant has a great Bluetooth support, regarding Tuya support you should check this out: github.com/PlusPlus-ua/ha_tuya_ble
I tried installing it on a ThinClient but I keep getting the problem that it won't flash to the SSD in the system. I think I have everything correct in the boot menu. Maybe you have another tip?
The problem was in the operating system. the ThinClient was provisioned with Debian 12. I installed a new image and followed your tutorial. Now it works great.
Many thanks from Belgium for your video. All start fine until I come near the end: I see HAOS installing and I get the Logo and the prompt ha> After you say type http address to the browser where is it. Heeeelp! 🙂😞 Do hou have un dual boot???
Sorry to come back again. I try a lot of time but not possible to connect to HAOS. when the command ha after installing HAOS I can find the right command to connect it to the WiFi network .....
If you want to connect to WiFi from the command line, you should look into: community.home-assistant.io/t/guide-connecting-pi-with-home-assistant-os-to-wifi-or-other-networking-changes/98768 But it’s much easier to connect to a wired connection and set Wi-Fi from there.

Perfectly work !
Simple and complete !
Thank you, I’m glad you found it helpful!
Fantastic guide. It worked like a charm. Many thanks.
Thanks, Great it worked out for you!
Couldnt you just flash HA to a usb from main pc, and install via bios by choosing boot option? Seems much more simple. Either way, good video!
I wish it was possible :)
Glad you found it helpful!
It is not possible to install haos directly from USB, it stays forever at swap haos.
@@MrReiv91donc home assistant os est un logiciel pas un Os comme windows ou Ubuntu
finaly someone that made it easy to install haos. great work man

This actually worked in like 5 minutes, with the updated install script on ubuntu. Wasted 3 hours on an outdated tutorial yesterday.
I’m glad you found it helpful!
I try to make sure everything works properly on my tutorials as they can get outdated pretty fast.
thank you for the how-to
Glad you found it helpful!
much thanks for the guide. @4:40 is there a way to run home assistant without wired network, since i dont have a port on my laptop?
Yes it's possible, you can get more details in the HA forum.

Muchas gracias. Me fue muy util. Excelente contenido

Good video. Didn’t work for me as it errors when trying to flash from URL. Seems to be a permission error.
Did you try to download the file to your computer and then importing it?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks so much.
I’m glad you found it helpful!
The issue in all installation types is that you cannot make any change to "/" or "/etc". so your HA is running on a 100% fixed OS.
There are other installation types that offer that flexibility, Docker for example.
Thanks for a great video, I have installed the software on my HP laptop, but I had to use a browser from another device to access it. My question is : how could I use the same laptop to access the Home Assistant if I am able to install a browser ?

Is there a way to migrate an existing HA from a Rasberry Pi to an intel based pc?

Go to settings->system->backups->create full backup

Sorry about that. I am still learning the ropes, but I will make sure to fix it for future videos :)

Yes this is permanent, you can install it on windows using VMware, you can check my video about that.

Can this method replace a Tuya Bluetooth Gateway?
You might need to add a Bluetooth proxy to the setup, but yes Home Assistant has a great Bluetooth support, regarding Tuya support you should check this out:
github.com/PlusPlus-ua/ha_tuya_ble
Is it possible to install a copy of my current HA to the SSD?
It's possible to backup your HA data, and then restore it in your new setup, that's the more common approach anyway.
MAn.. How to connect the HA via Wifi?
There are some great guides on the HA forum.
I will add it to my future video ideas.
After set up all the configurations and installthe add-ons, Is there any way to cupy HA file from the pc to save it in a safe place as a ready image ?
Not a ready image, but you can use backups: Settings > System > Backups
There you can backup anything important
I tried installing it on a ThinClient but I keep getting the problem that it won't flash to the SSD in the system. I think I have everything correct in the boot menu. Maybe you have another tip?
Can you describe the exact problem?
Is it while using balena etcher?
The problem was in the operating system. the ThinClient was provisioned with Debian 12. I installed a new image and followed your tutorial. Now it works great.
Great, glad it worked for you.

You should open the browser on a different device.

Sounds like the disk was in use, running Ubuntu from USB should prevent that.
