Install procedure#

Boot the HP thin client from an Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 usb, and then follow this procedure to install the HA-OS to the built-in SSD.
Then simply remove the USB and reboot.
You get a HomeAssistant prompt on console 1, and a root prompt on console 6 (just press enter)
The web console is available at http://192.168.2.8:8123, first create a user.

Customization#

  • Add DSMR integration and plug a P1 usb meter in the HP thin client. Also you can enable some initially disabled entities, like voltages and current. You can entities from this integration to the energy dashboard.
  • Add the Frontier Silicon integration, that should allow operating the Imperial DABMan internet radio.
  • Install the Mobile App integration (or was it already present after vanilla install?), anyway, you should be able to add your phone, but using the HomeAssistant app on your phone.
  • Install the SolarEdge integration. Also add this in the energy dashboard. You do need an API key, I got that straight away as a reply on a mail to mail solar installer SolarHVT. Zie ook deze instructies
