Is Home Assistant no longer supported?

[illballer]

Hi there,

I wanted to get started with Home Assistant on my RPi4 that has been running Dietpi for about three years (flawlessly )

However, running dietpi-software and browsing for Home Assistant, I can not seem to find it.

Searching around on the web and in the forum only points to troubleshoot entries for HA itself but not to the issue I am having.

Has support for HA been removed from Dietpi?

Thank you for your support!

No, Home Assistant was not removed and on my RPi 4 it’s shown as installable.
Can you please fill out the troubleshoot template, maybe your device does not match the criteria to install it.
It’s also interesting that I can not see “domoticz” in my list

edit:

So I guess you are not on Debian Bookworm, bc on Bookworm you could install Home Assistant, but not Domoticz (bc of some trouble with libssl version)

Thank you for your reply. and the pointer. I´ll get right to understanding how to update to Bookworm and check again.

Up until now I thought debian updates would also be covered via dietpi-update (that I use regulary)

It’s just a guess, if you can fill out and share the troubleshoot template, we could investigate further.

Distro upgrades have to be done manually, you can find instructions for this in our blog

Just updated to Bookworm and Home Assistant is showing up as it should.

Again Thank you for the quick help and all the best to you.

btw you could check for available software and why it might be missing as follow

dietpi-software list | grep -E '157|140'

should give following on Bookworm

ID 140 | =0 | Domoticz: Open source home automation platform | DISABLED for Debian bookworm | https://dietpi.com/docs/software/home_automation/#domoticz
ID 157 | =0 | Home Assistant: Open source home automation platform | | https://dietpi.com/docs/software/home_automation/#home-assistant

Yeah it’s quite a pain:

• Domoticz is providing most of their binaries compiled against libssl1.1, which is not available from Bookworm on, but libssl3 instead: Domoticz doesn't start after ubuntu update to 22.04 (Due to OpenSSL3) · Issue #5233 · domoticz/domoticz · GitHub. Lol, while checking other issues who link this, it seems ARMv6 is not support anymore. Instead there is not a dedicated repo which provides ARMv6 builds, also for Bookworm (erm, supposed to, but there is no Bookworm binary): GitHub - PE1DDA/Domoticz-ARMv6: compiled domoticz for ARMv6 boards like raspberry pi B and zero(w). I think there is no way around building those ourselves for each distro version and arch. If/when they switch to libssl3, it breaks for Bullseye, and they already stated that they won’t provide multiple builds.
• Home Assistant started to include a Python library as fixed dependency, which requires FFmpeg headers newer than what Debian Bullseye natively provides: Unable to install package ha-av - #39 by MichaIng - Configuration - Home Assistant Community
