Then change directories to the directory where the configuration file is located (this may be different if you aren’t using the HASSbian image): $ cd /home/homeassistant/.homeassistantįinally, open the configuration file using the nano text editor: $ nano configuration.yaml Now you’ll need to switch from the “pi” user to the “homeassistant” user to edit the configuration file: $ sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
#Harmony assistant change default save location password#
Type yes to continue, then enter the default password raspberry when prompted. Enter the following command (everything after the dollar sign): $ ssh may receive an authenticity warning the first time you connect via SSH. On OS X, open the Terminal app to enter commands on Windows, I recommend using Git Bash. To do this, use SSH to access the Pi via the command line.

The UI had a few default components already listed, and it had auto-discovered my Harmony Hub, AppleTV, and Roku too: The default UI may display some components automatically if they are discovered by Home Assistant. You can also try entering if you’re on a Mac. See instructions for finding the Pi’s IP address. The Pi is connected via ethernet to my router, which is important before booting up the HASSbian image the first time it expects access to the internet this way.Īfter the Pi booted up (~5 minutes initially) I was able to access Home Assistant’s web UI from my desktop PC by entering the Pi’s IP address at port 8123 in the browser address bar (e.g. Once the hardware was assembled, I followed the installation instructions for HASSbian, which flashes a disk image to the SD card for the Pi so I had literally zero setup to get up and running.
