Le Potato and Armbian Home Assistant 26.2.1

[GeertVc]

Hi,

 

First post here.

I'm fairly new with Armbian.  I have a LibreComputer Le Potato that I want to use for Home Assistant.  To avoid all the hassle of setting up Home Assistant with docker, I used the Armbian imager to install the Armbian 26.2.1 Home Assistant on an SD card.

Once the SD card was flashed, I put it into the Le Potato board.  The board starts up fine, asks for the root password, creates a new user and so on.

Later on, the Preparing Home Assistant Supervised window appears.  However, after the first round to 100% I get a "RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument" on the screen.  The preparation goes on and on, moving the progress bar over and over to 100%.  But the installation seems to never stop. 

See the image attached for the error I get.

Anyone any idea?

 

Best,

Update: if I wait long enough, then I finally see the Reboot screen.

After reboot, I can go to http://<IP_address_Le_Potato>:8123 and I do see the Home Assistant intro screen.

After creating an account, giving the location parameters and so on, I finally get the Home Assistant screen.

I see in the command terminal that the following containers are available:

• hassio_observer
• hassio_supervisor

See attached image.
 

However, when I go to Settings, I don't see the Add-ons section.  I admit I'm not a Home Assistant expert yet (first steps into HA) but I thought that the superviisor was just to have the Add-ons section available to the user?  That's the reason I tried the Armbian Home Assistant image, hoping the Add-ons section would be available.
Do I have to make myself a "supervisor" (again, I'm not a Home Assistant expert yet...)?  If so, how can this be done?

I need MQTT and Zigbee2MQTT, hence the need for the Add-ons section, which I currently don't have...

 

Best,
