2. Install Home Assistant Supervised¶
This guide goes over how to install Home Assistant (Supervised) on a Debian based Linux distribution. Remember: only the latest version of Debian is supported.
A prebuilt image for this method (32 GB card or more) is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OFF1DpqMVtUqXKGGxFsO4lJdDIy_v8eS/view?usp=drive_link
The default logins of this image are: username "root" or "pi", password "pi".
2.1 Prerequisites¶
- Micro SD Card: a 32 GB or bigger card is recommended
- A Smart Pi running YUMI SMART PI 1 BOOKWORM SERVER (recommended)

Give a host name if you like¶
