ACCESS HOME ASSISTANT

Within a few minutes after connecting the Raspberry Pi, you will be able to reach your new Home Assistant.

• In the browser of your desktop system, enter homeassistant.local:8123.If you are running an older Windows version or have a stricter network configuration, you might need to access Home Assistant at homeassistant:8123 or `http://X.X.X.X:8123` (replace X.X.X.X with your Raspberry Pi’s IP address).
• The time it takes for this page to become available depends on your hardware. On a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, this page should be available within a minute.
  • If it does not show up after 5 minutes on a Pi 4 or 5, maybe the image was not written properly.

  • If this did not help, view the console output on the Raspberry Pi.
    • To do this, connect a monitor via HDMI.
