Home Assistant Yellow Standard (with CM4 pre-installed) – Nabu Casa

Note:

Although this variant is no longer manufactured, it will continue to receive the same support as the kit models.
If you are looking for more of a plug-and-play experience, take a look at the Home Assistant Green.

Prerequisites

Step 1

Connect the device to the internet

Plug in your Ethernet cable and make sure it is locked into place.
The other end of the Ethernet cable will need to be connected to your router or switch and connected to the internet.
Note: Internet is required because the newly installed Home Assistant OS does not contain all Home Assistant components yet. It downloads the latest version of Home Assistant Core on first start.

Step 2

Power it up

Connect the power to the electrical outlet and then to the Home Assistant Yellow.

Step 3

Get started with Home Assistant

Initial startup may take a while, depending on your internet connection.
Install the app.
- To access Home Assistant from your mobile device, use the QR code to locate the app in the app store.
