I have been using Scene in both eWelink and also in iHost (but apparently, those two are completely different animals), but in spite of that, I have found them very useful, and fairly easy to use.
However, now I’d like to try using Home Assistant on iHost. I found a good YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhugPsohwjE&t=116s) on this, which I followed, and Home Assistant now seems to have been installed properly within Docker, but I then can’t open the WEB Page to access Home Assistant.
Has anyone had any issues like this, and could point me in the right direction?
Also, do I need to install “HomeBridge” for this to work, and if so, what would be the process.
Firstly @giles.baxter should make sure his Home Assistant instance has a hostname set. But provided that he has it set, he should type in the hostname followed by .local:8123. For example, if a Home Assistant device is named homeassistant, you would enter http://homeassistant.local:8123. If the .local domain does not work, one may need to configure the devices to recognize the hostname by editing a hosts file or using a local DNS server. For HA in a container (docker) the situation may be different → go to http://<your-server-ip>:8123 to access the Home Assistant web interface.
It’s possible to access the interface of HA instance by entering the IP address of your Home Assistant device, followed by the port number (usually 8123). For example, if one’s Home Assistant IP address is 192.168.1.10 , one would enter http://192.168.1.10:8123 .
No, it’s not needed for anything. Home Assistant is a local server and works without additional third party software.
Thanks for that, but I had already tried those addresses.
My iHost’s IP address is 192.168.0.11, so I added the “:8123 to the end, but that page couldn’t be reached.
In that YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhugPsohwjE&t=116s), it shows the Port as “1233, 80”. Could this be the issue? When I try using 192.168.0.11:1233, it opens a page at " HomeAssistant-files - Files - File Browser” which shows the actual files, but not the HomeAssistant GUI.
Is there a way to check and edit (if necessary) the Port settings in the iHost?
I also checked the LOG as well, and it is showing multiple errors, all:
“2024-10-23T09:00:01 exec /usr/local/bin/hass-cli: exec format error”.
What would cause this?
Because it is meant to open your File browser! This is not the same.
Did you make sure that your Home Assistant instance has a hostname set? It has to be set since your running HA in a headless mode. You need to access your installation through web-based interface. Did you do the installation exactly as shown in the instructional video? If you are not sure, delete and start again. Take notes before you start, paying particular attention to the name of the directory where HA will be placed. And finally, run your HA instance.
