    Finally a clear and simple explanation about these terms! When I started HA I chose the VM just because it was the only method I understood. Luckily I found out (a year later) it was a good choice for my system.
  • @jaydenlee3103
    As a beginner trying to get into HA, this makes it very clear. Thank you for the great video
  • OMG. It only took me about a year to finally get it installed properly thanks to your video. FINALLY, I have Home Assistant on the laptop... now to fill up my cards. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
  • @elite-100
    Cleared up all the installation types ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Well, let's put it like this. I'm still confused, but on a higher level, so job well done.Thank's for that.
  • @Tekc92
    โ€œCake or deathโ€ bonus points if you know the reference. Thank you for this as I am planning out my HA for when I move into a new home. Keep up the great work.
  • @MattDub805
    Cakes ๐Ÿ‘ This video should be mandatory!
  • @fedefede843
    Hi, I am using core only in a RPi4. I would like to see a video on what I am really missing with supervised add-ons really. Maybe a top ten list or similar, just to see if it is worth it to move towards that. Thanks!
  • @TheTimplayer
    Hey, thanks for the video. Very helpful! I have a question though. Does Home Aisstant have root permissions? Asking because I think about opening a port...
  • @Dumdadum76
    Well, this really clears things up! Thank you.
  • @pavolholes
    Cakes! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Thanks for video. Finally I understand all these terms, thanks for explanation!
  • Really great explanation, I installed home assistant in my Mac via virtual box and able to browse the url successfully but the only problem is when I close my mac lid virtual machine stops running, I tried googling on how to solve this issue specifically on mac and ended up no where, any help would be much appreciated!
  • @yoerim360
    tried to use the install- guide on their site for the HA OS but only thing that balena seems to do is creating a bunch of non formatted partitions that are hard to get rid of
  • Cakes! And if they think it should have been layered the other way, they can have Upside-down Cake! Great job, as always!
  • @3D2eNano
    Thanks a lot for sharing all of this, I have zero knowledge about this things and I've been able to install HA in a Raspberry with remote access just following your videos. Could you please explain some day about Python3 access? an add on from HACS needs to run pip3 and I really don't know how to do that because typing in the terminal or directly in the raspberry the system says that the command doesn't exist, I can't find any explanation about that subject. Thanks!!
  • @tarunarya1780
    Loved the video. Please explain home assistant OS and how to use its base operating system commands for recovery. I used the raspberry pi 4 image and when I go onto a keyboard attached to the pi , get the cli. What is this. How can I use linux type commands. i seemed to have locked myself out of the OS. Samba is no longer available including files I was storing there. How do I see my files and the directories. How to I change/ hack the password or see the directory to do it.

    Ive installed HA via Synology - Docker, there was a built in HA image which I installed. However, it does not have Supervisor as I think I need it to run command lines. Just purchased TP-Link Plug P110 and its not supported, as they are not found via integration.
