fabric-home-assistant

NOTE: This is a personal fork of the HASS Fabric Installer. It has been modified to reflect my Banana Pro. In other words, this is likley not the fork you're looking for.

This varant of the Raspberry Pi All-In-One Installer (originally created by Jonathan Baginski) deploys a complete Home Assistant server including support for MQTT with websockets, Z-Wave, and the Open-Zwave Control Panel. As well as fixing permissions after copying in a backed up config and support for editing via sftp.

The only requirement is that you have a Banana Pi/Pro with a fresh installation of Armbian Server (Mainline kernel) connected to your network.

• Login to the Banana Pi/Pro. For example with ssh pi@your_banana_ip
• Run the following command

$ wget -Nnv https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bassclarinetl2/fabric-home-assistant/master/hass_rpi_installer.sh && bash hass_rpi_installer.sh

Note this command is one line and not run as sudo

Installation will take approx. 1-2 hours depending on the Raspberry Pi model the installer is being run against.

Will Heid has created a guide on how to get Armbian and the AIO working.

Once rebooted, your Banana will be up and running with Home Assistant. You can access it at http://your_banana_ip:8123.

The Home Assistant configuration is located at /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant. The virtualenv with the Home Assistant installation is located at /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv. As part of the secure installation, a new user is added to your Raspberry Pi to run Home Assistant as named, homeassistant. This is a system account and does not have login or other abilities by design. When editing your configuration.yaml files, you will need to run the commands with "sudo" or by switching user. Windows users - Setting up WinSCP to allow this seemlessly is detailed below.

By default, installation makes use of a Python Virtualenv. If you wish to not follow this recommendation, you may add the flag -n to the end of the install command specified above.

The All-In-One Installer script will do the following automatically:

• Create all needed directories
• Create needed service accounts
• Install OS and Python dependencies
• Setup a python virtualenv to run Home Assistant and components inside.
• Run as homeassistant service account
• Install Home Assistant in a virtualenv
• Build and install Mosquitto from source with websocket support running on ports 8883 and 9100
• Build and Install Python-openzwave in the Home Assistant virtualenv
• Build openzwave-control-panel in /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel
• Add both Home Assistant and Mosquitto to systemd services to start at boot
• Add the system user sftpedit to permit editing of device.

To upgrade the All-In-One setup:

• Login to Raspberry Pi ssh pi@banana_ip
• Change to hass user sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
• Change to virtual enviroment source /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/activate
• Update HA pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

To launch the OZWCP webapp:

• Login to Raspberry Pi ssh pi@banana_ip
• Change to the ozwcp directory cd /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/
• Launch the control panel sudo ./ozwcp -p 8888
• Open a web browser to http://banana_ip:8888
• Specify your zwave controller, for example /dev/ttyACM0 and hit initialize

don't check the USB box regardless of using a USB based device

Windows Users - Please note that after running the installer, you will need to modify settings allowing you to "switch users" to edit your configuration files. The needed change within WinSCP is: Environment -> SCP/Shell -> Shell and set it to sudo su -.
