Running HomeAssistant on CE

extremeaudio · 20 March 2023 07:13

So the Home Assistant part is working just fine. But I dont see the HDMI output in the audio devices list of coreelec. The audio output device has defaulted to analog and the passthrough output has changed to SPDIF. There is a HDMI multichannel PCM output to be selected but not the regular HDMI bitstream out.

When I play any track with surround encoding bitstreamed, I get white noise from the speakers. Videos with PCM surround tracks are working.

Maybe this S912 image doesn’t have proper docker support.

extremeaudio · 23 March 2023 10:12

You recommend some other image?

extremeaudio · 31 March 2023 11:52

How does one update HASS/ Home Assistant when installed in this fashion?

vpeter · 31 March 2023 13:15

No idea. I only followed instructions in this thread and polish them.
Maybe from HA itself?

extremeaudio · 1 April 2023 11:33

Seems like the HA installation breaks when updated from within HA. The addons section (basically what the supervisor provides) just goes round and round and never loads.

vpeter · 13 April 2023 14:49

I don’t see any updates for HA - where it should be? And how to do the update from docker HA itself?

Borec1 · 19 May 2023 17:31

I still have the problem that the sound drops out in Kodi when HA starts up. I thought it was a Kodi 19 problem but now I’ve upgraded to 20 and still the same problem…

extremeaudio · 8 July 2023 13:34

Are you able to update HA from your installation? If yes, how are you doing it?

Support for Amlogic S905X3 and A311D with NN accelerator

subiol

enhancement stale

**Describe what you are trying to accomplish and why in non technical terms** T…he Amlogic S905X3 is a modification of the S905X2 with optionally added Neural Network accelerator with 1.2 TOPS. The A311D has 5 TOPS. Together with their low power consumption and the video hardware acceleration support in the linux kernel, they seem like a really good option for a Frigate system. The documentation of Amlogic says that the NN accelerator has TensorFlow and Coffee support. Ideally, the system would also be compatible with Coral and the two NN accelerators can run together. That would allow people to buy a cheap device to test Frigate and add a Coral later if more capacity is required. Maybe even Frigate could sell the system to raise some money. **Describe the solution you'd like** First, has anyone tried running Frigate on a S905X3 with NN acc. or a A311D already? Second, do the Frigate developers see potential enough in the chipsets to support them? Would the S905X3/A311D NN accelerator and Coral work at the same time? EDIT: Not advocating for any particular brand, but as example, a device like this would make a very good, quiet and power efficient Frigate system: https://www.khadas.com/vim3

Painfully, I’ve just finished it

The supervisor

starts many containers and all of the image needed those containers, have to be pulled to local repo;
looking for the version of each container at the specific json file at /storage/Homeassistant.

In order to update the components,

you have to pull the newer images,
delete(or rename) the container specific json,
stop the supervisor,
stop the component container,
delete the component container,
delete the old docker image,
start the supervisor.

For example you want to update the hassio-audio component:

docker pull ghcr.io/home-assistant/aarch64-hassio-audio:2023.10.0
rename ~/HomeAssistant/audio.json to ~/HomeAssistant/audio.json.old
systemctl stop hassio-supervisor.service
docker container stop hassio_audio
docker container rm hassio_audio
docker rmi <IMAGE ID>
systemctl start hassio-supervisor.service

The homeassistant itself is a component so the process is the same, but I had to reboot my device after updating HA.

Remarks:

HA 2023.11.0 not started on my machine so I am stick with 2023.10.5 now.
You may need to edit the ~/.config/system.d/hassio.json if it has old repository prefixes. It must start with ghcr.io/home-assistant instead of homeassistant/ (but I might previously editet that file ).
I am using Team Corelec Docker Add-on

Useful commands:

docker ps list running containers
docker images list images in local repository
docker logs -f hassio_supervisor watching supervisor log to check everything working

Proof :

Removing old containers and images should be easier if one had portainer?

Robixman · 25 November 2023 09:29

Could be, but I am very familiar with docker cli.
