Lies of P for android instal2/16/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() Termux apparently doesn’t keep old versions of packages to save on hosting costs. This is a PITA, because homeassistant (currently version 2022.12.9 on pipy) only states that it supports Python 3.10 (hxxps:///home-assistant/core/issues/84117). NOTE: At the time of writing (Dec’22), this installs Python 3-11. I always opted to keep existing config, which is apparently the default option. When running pkg updates, it will ask a number of times if you want to keep you existing config (option ‘n’) or update. no ROOT access (decision born of practicality rather than any objection to rooting, I have a feeling that rooting may some some issues though!)įrom a clean install of termux pkg updates.Installation of F-Droid software repository (steps detailed in Alexanderhale’s guide, I won’t repeat them here).Of course, if that’s your kind of thing then knock yourselves out I have successfully installed HA on both of these devices, so I believe that installation of a custom ROM like LineageOS as suggested by Alexanderhale may only be required on much older devices, i’m not sure. This is hopefully going to become a dashboard device, but is being used at the moment to trial these installation steps on a much older android version Google Nexus 9 tablet, Android 7.1.1 (Tablet stock OS).Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (recently replaced with a Pixel 7 Pro, hence a decent powerful device for the installation) Android 13 (Phone stock OS).Sorry for the hxxps links - as a new user it wont’ let me put many links in the post… Hence, I’m writing up my installation experience in case it helps anyone else. Unfortunately my journey wasn’t quite as simple as just following the guide, as I think various things have changed since it was written. Unfortunately it seems that at the moment Pi systems are basically not available, and the recommended Pi4 goes for about £100 on eBay, which seems a lot of money for a Pi ! So looking around I found the excellent guide by Alexanderhale ( Home Assistant Core on Android Tablet) which proved a very VERY good place to start! kudos to alexander for setting all that out. So i’ve been charting my holiday journey getting started with Homeassistant, which started with a few youtube videos and reading the documentation for installation onto a Raspberry PI. ![]()
