Download Armbian with HA (v25.2)
Then boot the image, wait few minutes and login via http://ip_address_of_armbian_running_ha:8123 (official onboarding manual)

 

Home Assistant Supervised is, more or less, a full blown Home assistant.

Install Home Assistant on any Armbian Bookworm (experimental)


Main difference between HA OS and Armbian with HA is that underlying OS here is clean Armbian Debian Bookworm and there is custom dedicated buildroot OS that is provided for a few single board computers, primarily for Raspberry Pi. We provide HA on a small selection of single board computers, but in theory, its possible to run this on (almost) all that are possible to build.

Changes to Armbian OS are minimal as HA is running under Docker.

I am running HA on Odroid N2+ and it works without any problems. I have z-wave network with sensors and switches, air humidifier, Android TV, Android phones, dishwasher, ... Things works flawlessly, much better then few years back when I started with home automation for a first time, with OpenHab. This time it was setup from scratch and in a matter of days, most of devices are in function, playing with automation.

Sorry, this hardware is not supported. Putting HA on not supported hardware or just make that hardware usable and stable can be extremely costly. Armbian project helps you greatly to minimise efforts needed for this in first place, but we can't resolve all problems in hardware support (which should be in the domain of people who sold you hardware) or HomeAssistant. This installation was made for expert users of Home Assistant and we made it easier by providing ready to run images. If you can't DIY, IMO its best to get a Raspberry Pi or Odroid N2 (which is tested).

I am ready to test the build on Orange Pajero 3 4GB. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the finished assembly.

We have no plans or budget to support this hardware. Finished assembly will be provided only for small selection of boards, most likely we will provide this for platinum support section only. Purpose of the topic is promoting Armbian build framework. If something can be done on board X, we can't help to make it on board Y. Without investing tens or hundreds thousands of dollars. This is your problem. Board provider problem. Not ours. Build framework can do this, but if board is not maintained ... it might not just work.

Hi @Igor. Now i am using the  Armbian 23.8.1 Bullseye with Linux 6.1.27-ophub in my Tanix Tx3 Tv box and HA supervised with Unsupported system messages. Can i use one og these img's or are only for other hardware?

I don't know. It was tested on Odroid N2 and Nanopi M4. If you seek for plug and play solution and you don't want to support open source development, buy a Raspberry Pi, Odroid N2, ...

I am afraid, that is not the case. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-check-download-authenticity.

That is not an Armbian build.  Ophub is a fork of Armbian that continues to use the Armbian name without permission.  They do not participate in Armbian development, nor do they participate in these forums.  You need to contact them for support of their builds.

Hi @Nalexat. You may try this H5 image:
https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/24.5.0-trunk.19/Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.19_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_bookworm_current_6.6.16_minimal.img.xz
You need to decompress this image before you write to SD card.
If its boots up. Then you can use this guide creatively:


Replace first line, must be
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)" 
What I know Armbian was working well on my Orange Pi PC2 which is H5 (with HA Supervised)

Today I went and update OS packages on my Odroid N2 running Armbian HA instance. Logs:

I did reboot after this, then update Home Assistant Core via HA web interface to latest version 2024.2.3

All went fine!

I am having one almost identical device (Khadas VIM1S, same kernel) for testing. Installed add-on:

Logs https://pastebin.com/raw/JVpwyx1C shows no problems.

Are you using our images with preinstalled HA supervisor? If you DIY-ed, you need to fix this problem on your own. Here are some clues. Also did you try to reboot at least once?

I managed to recreate this problem on VIM4 ... This HW has some old factory kernel, which could be the reason. Trying on some other device first.

Yes, its kernel / low level hardware issue with this particular device. We will look into this, but this won't happen "over the night". I tried with mainline based kernel on Odorid M1 and it works there. It also says warning about "docker and privileges" but reboot fixes that warning. Backup / restore works ...

Yes, will try.

 

Do I understand correctly that I need to download Docker and HA extensions to userpatches/extensions directory and then build an image for XU4?

Hi @Igor,

 

many hanks for the HA version on Armbian - mine works perfectly on Odroid N2+ eMMC.


As my eMMC is only 32GB, so I want to move datadisk to external USB SSD drive. Do you have any experience with this operation. Built-in HA feature does not work.
CLI operation reports Error: 

'DataDisk.migrate_disk' blocked from execution, no Home Assistant OS available.

Probably due to different mount/folder structure. Any suggestions will be very welcome...


Best regards

Slawek

You can try default Armbian way, but beware this case was not tested, so its recommended for making a full HA backup so you can restore in no time.

I see no reasons to upgrade anywhere. Especially not to buggy USB3 storage.

Supervisor sometimes losess healthy state https://github.com/home-assistant/supervisor/issues/4381 and this is not Armbian related problem. However, we will fix this problem.

 

Future builds are going to be patched https://github.com/armbian/os/pull/177 and for already installed, users can easyily implement workaround from PR manually:

  • creating bash script
  • creating systemd service that execute that script
  • enable that service

 

Copy and paste instructions for older builds!

 

Login via SSH and execute:
  

sudo bash -c 'cat << EOF > /usr/local/bin/supervisor_fix.sh
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
	if ha supervisor info 2>&1 | grep -q "healthy: false"; then
		echo "Unhealthy detected, restarting" | systemd-cat -t $(basename "$0") -p emerg
		systemctl restart hassio-supervisor.service
		sleep 600
	else
		sleep 5
	fi
done
EOF'

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/supervisor_fix.sh

sudo bash -c 'cat << EOF > /etc/systemd/system/supervisor-fix.service
	[Unit]
	Description=Supervisor Unhealthy Fix
	[Service]
	ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/supervisor_fix.sh
	[Install]
	WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF'

sudo systemctl enable supervisor-fix
sudo systemctl start supervisor-fix

After applying patch from previous post, it updated to latest version without complaining about unhealthy status:
