Hello Alexx,
Thanks for creating this portable version. Using this as primary driver on Windows. Why? Coz this windows machine is used for a few other things, and dont want to create 10 different docker containers, to keep it all light weight, and love this idea of portable Hass.
Wanted to install DuckDNS add-on and noticed that this is not supervised mode. Is it possible for you to share steps you used to create this so I can try to create supervised version. Or if it is easier, and only if you want, do you want to create and share supervised version?
Thanks again!

Hello,

I'm pretty new, so please forgive my ignorance, but I've having an issue when trying to add the Nest integration. I keep getting the error "homeassistant.requirements.RequirementsNotFound: Requirements for nest not found: ['google-nest-sdm==0.3.8'].".

I have attempted to manually install that requirement, but the flow still doesn't find it. Can you please advise?

There an issue where the timezone of homeassistant is in UTC0 and does not follow the config define timezone / system timezone.

Hi, Alex

I'm having troubles with the las release HassWP_2021.6.5 when I try to install Broadlink and Samsung Smart TV integrations.

This is the errror that I get
2021-07-29 11:12:25 INFO (SyncWorker_3) [homeassistant.util.package] Attempting install of broadlink==0.17.0
2021-07-29 11:12:38 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Error occurred loading configuration flow for integration broadlink: No module named 'aiodiscover'
2021-07-29 11:20:04 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Error occurred loading configuration flow for integration samsungtv: No module named 'aiodiscover'

I´ve tried in two different PC and I get the same error. This only happen with the last release HassWP_2021.6.5.
It works OK with the previous HassWP_2021.1.1.

Thank you!!

Is it possible to add FFmpeg support?

new version seems to be infected with Win64:Evo-gen

I've been using HomeAssistant on Windows with Python 3.9 for half a year now and since a few monts i needed to patch every update to make it run. These were basically minor changes to file.py, serial socket for zha and disabling DHCP using your custom_components override. As you probably know, the home assistant devs decided to remove all the native Windows workarounds for the 2022 release. It's more work now to support Windows.

I am asking myself if there is any interest to share the work on the Windows support. I was thinking of forking the core repository, reverting all the dropped Windows submits and adding the additional changes. Basically one place where everyone caring about native Windows support can submit changes.

Is there any interest in this?

I tried to run, but it shows the error below, I tried to run as admim, but it was unsuccessful

Hi
I got caught up in the Insteon debacle. I am new to HA with a handful of lighting devices. I installed HASSWP. [Alex - I have no coding skills and was intimidated by a "normal" HA installation. I couldn't believe how easy HassWP was to install and use. Kudos}. I am having only one issue. Despite setting the time zone in General Configuration to "America/New York", when I trigger a light to turn on at a certain time, it turn on 5 hours earlier than scheduled (GMT time).

How can we update from the previous version of HASS portable to the new Hass portable version? Which files we need to copy to the new Hass folder?

In hass.cmd
hass.exe -c %~dp0config --open-ui
should be
hass.exe -c "%~dp0config" --open-ui
with the quotes, so it will start if the path contains spaces.

Any idea why I keep getting these errors? Once it happens the system stops responding.

Hi
Is it possible to run your hass cmd script hidden?
Thank you!

When I run update.cmd, it runs without any problems. But when I try to start HA afterwards, it hands after cloud domain startup.

I'm trying to get an integration that requires access to a device plugged into USB. Is this supported by HassWP? Looking at this page here: https://techtechandmoretech.com/guides/home-assistant-wyze/#comments, are instructions to install WyzeSense. Since I already have HACS installed I simply skipped to installing the WyzeSense repo. However, the instructions specify to add a Binary sensor to the config yaml:

binary_sensor:
– platform: wyzesense
device: “/dev/hidraw0” 

The device location appears to be linux based. I'm trying to determine what to use for a HassWP install instead.

I cannot access home assistant from anything other than the Computer that is hosting HomeAssistant.
When using another Computer or Web-Device (smart phone etc.) I cannot access http://localhost:8123/ or any combination thereof.

What am I doing wrong??

Sincerely;
Alex.

I just tried launching HassWP_2022.2.3 on my Windows 10 PC but it hangs after launching my default browser. The Home Assistant Login / Create Account screen that I see in YouTube videos showing how to install the program does not appear. My default browser launches, but only thing I see is a blue screen with a logo and Home Assistant displayed. See the attached PDF. I also attached a copy of the CMD script execution window showing what ran after I launched HassWP.cmd.

Can you help me understand what's wrong and how to get HassWP to work? FYI, I'm not an experienced coder so go easy! :-)

HassWP CMD Execution.txt

I am trying to upgrade to the new version 2022.5.3
I copied the config folder from my older version, to the new 5.3 folder.
During the execution I get several errors in red text and then it just keeps repeating the commands in the attached picture.
It never completes or loads. Any idea what is happening?
Thanks.

i already know where i downloaded it from, here is no need to spam me notifications about it

Thanks!

After installing hass thru Windows cmd script I am taken to the sign up page and get thru the process to Home Assistant. It discovers numerous devices and my network and seems to work as it should. I have installed an Insteon integration connected to one of their hubs successfully and setup numerous Insteon devices. My issue occurs after my connection becomes lost or I've logged out and closed my browser. When I signed in the 1st time and logged out and went to re login I bookmarked the page in my browser. The next day when I open my Browse and click n the bookmark for Home Assistant it hangs at initializing and eventually says it can't connect and it timed out but if I reload it says connection refused. If I reinstall it through the Windows cmd script I can go through the same entire process, duplicate the username and login without it suggesting that the user name and so on ever existed or an account was created. I must be doing something wrong and would like to know why this is recurring?

Hi. I downloaded and installed this after watching a great video, but have since realised that without Supervisor I cannot do what need to - at least not with my level of expertise, so I think I need to try and install it a different way.
Apologies if this is a really basic / stupid question, but how can I install everything your build (which does look pretty impressive, btw) has installed on my computer so I can go and build it in a VM environment?
Many thanks.

Error occurred loading configuration flow for integration xiaomi_miio: No module named 'backports.zoneinfo'
How fix it?

Hi,
do you know why the HACS does not show up? or maybe how to install it now? i tried the update file but it does not work.
In addition I tried the reset file and ran the HA again and it still wont work.
Thank you in advance.

can't read COM3 under windows driver

If you try and update the latest version it will not run as it cannot detect the country/code correctly in python unless anyone has got around this,
Tried it on my system and also on my father's and just the same. You have to delete the installation and reinstall it.

Thanks

I understand that this portable version does not include add-ons, but is there some way to get DuckDNS working? This is necessary for remote access when away from home. I have searched the Internet for alternative ways to integrate DuckDNS, but there seems to be no information.

Hi HASSWP
I wrote last week of a clock issue I was having HASSWP. Alex was nice enough to send me a proposed solution which involved executing "Home Assistant Windows Portable (HassWP) CTM FORKED". I followed the instructions:

1. Download CTMHomeAssistant2022-5-6.rar
2. Unpack in a folder
3. Run hass.cmd
4. Press any key to start.
   A command prompt sequence was executed but after it was complete, the problem persists (time zone in General Configuration is set to "America/New York" but system time is UTC). I have no programming experience so I wonder if I did something incorrectly. I am including a screen shot of the command prompt screen which indicates that some errors were encountered. Any advice?
   thank you in advance

Hi there, was wondering on How can I install Google Dark theme souch as this one: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/google-dark-theme-juanmtech/164225

I managed to install HACS and install a theme but I cannot select it, it says that themes are not uvailable

BTW: How can I stop opening default browser whenever you restart HassWP?

Thanks for Anwsering and Best Regards

Is it possible to copy HA from HassWP to an instance of HA running in Virtual Box?

If so, how can that be done?

this is the error from the logs

The sub directory is displayed correctly in Home Assistant

But when casting the media, there is an error, probably due to backslashes in the path instead of slashes like on linux system.

Love this and its running nice, i have some problem cant add the Ikea Trådfri integration? and it seems that it cant find my bluetooth.

I'm getting a warning (after updating to 2021.11.05): "Support for the running Python version 3.8.9 is deprecated and will be removed in Home Assistant 2022.1. Please upgrade Python to 3.9.0 or higher."

Is there an easy way to have the scripts to just use a local python installation (vs. the one packaged in the .zip file)?

I get this error when trying to save an image with camera.snapshot running in this version. i have an automation that takes a pic from my blink camera on motion but get this error

First, when I downloaded the newest version it ran perfectly. That was on my laptop running W11. Started quickly and the browser started without any problem.
Then I installed it on my W11 server. It's a regular desktop with an i7 6700 and 16GB of RAM. Both systems are on the newest updates.
It did not load at all. It was stuck most often loading seemingly plug-ins. Now, some just took like 10 minutes, and that is fine. But I left it for quite literally 10 hours to load. In the end, nothing happened.

Yes, I have re-downloaded multiple times and also used 7-Zip, just in case.
At this point, I am confused and plum out of luck. Should I wait for an update or is there another solution?

I am basically starting from scratch every time there is a new version.

Today I would like to try the lastest version and copy the complete config folder from my previous version HassWP to the new version. Am I supposed to copy 100% of the folder including /deps & .storage?

Please Let me know if there is any easier way to update

Apart from that this HassWP works great on a surface pro windows 10 mounted to the wall for the past year.

Thank you

If anyone is facing issues with missing "Git" or "PYCountry" Python library, please do the following.
My "HassWP" is located at E:\Experiments\HassWP

For GIT:

1. Download the git binaries and place at E:\Experiments\HassWP\git.
2. Include (from line 3) the following inside the E:\Experiments\HassWP\bin\env.bat.
3. Add the set WINGITDIR=%WINPYDIRBASE%\git\bin above the line which contains set WINPYDIR=%WINPYDIRBASE%\python-3.8.7.
4. Append %WINGITDIR%; to set "PATH=%WINPYDIR%\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5;%WINPYDIR%\Lib\site-packages\PySide2;%WINPYDIR%\;.... so that it looks like et "PATH=%WINPYDIR%\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5;%WINPYDIR%\Lib\site-packages\PySide2;%WINPYDIR%\;%WINPYDIR%\DLLs;%WINPYDIR%\Scripts;%WINPYDIR%\..\t;%WINPYDIR%\..\t\mingw32\bin;%WINPYDIR%\..\t\R\bin\i386;%WINPYDIR%\..\t\Julia\bin;%WINPYDIR%\..\n;%WINGITDIR%;%PATH%;".
5. Stop the HASS from the dashboard.
6. Start the "E:\Experiments\HassWP\hass.cmd".

For PyCountry:

1. Run the E:\Experiments\HassWP\bin\env.bat from a separate command-line shell.
2. Run the pip command pip3 install pycountry.
3. Stop HassWP.
4. Run the hass.cmd again.

The actual issue is discussed at hass-smartthinq.
