Home Assistant is an open source smart home platform that allows you to connect your smart home devices like your TV, fan, cameras, thermostats, lights, and sensors. As a user, you can build intricate automation using Home Assistant’s user-friendly, unified web-based user interface.
Perfect to run on any single board computer with 4 cores and at least 512Mb of memory. Armbian installation is optimised to run from SD/eMMC media, but it is recommended to use SSD.
Limited support
The supervised installation method on Armbian is not officially supported by the Home Assistant project. Additionally, installation on hardware that is not officially supported is also outside the scope of support provided by the Armbian team.
You are welcome to report high-level application issues that are reproducible on the official Home Assistant Operating System (HAOS) within the Home Assistant Community. For any topics related to single-board computer hardware, you may use the Armbian Community Forums; however, please be aware that official support from the Armbian team is not guaranteed.
While the Home Assistant team deprecated the Supervised installation method, the Armbian team will continue to provide and maintain it, as long as automated installation tests succeed and the required maintenance remains manageable.
