The easiest way to install Home Assistant on your Raspberry Pi is by using Hassbian: a Raspberry Pi image with Home Assistant built-in. The image will install the latest version of Home Assistant on initial boot (~5 minutes).
-
We finally have a Raspberry Pi image! It’s been named Hassbian in honor of Raspbian.
-This image comes pre-installed with the dependencies, permissions and so on for Home Assistant. Image is based on the same install instructions as the Manual installation.
-It’s based on Raspbian Lite and generated with a fork of the same script that builds the official Raspbian images. Please note that this project has no association with the Raspberry Pi foundation or their projects.
Ensure your Raspberry Pi has access to the internet.

Insert SD card to Raspberry Pi and turn it on. Initial installation of Home Assistant will take 5 minutes.

-
On first boot the latest release of Home Assistant will be installed in a Virtual Environment at /srv/homeassistant and started as a service run by the user homeassistant. Since this is done automatically it’s required that the Raspberry Pi is connected to the internet with a ethernet cable. Installation takes about 5 minutes on first boot and after that you can connect to your Raspberry Pi on ipaddress:8123.

Home Assistant will now be available by navigating with a browser to http://ip-address-of-pi:8123. The default username is pi and password is raspberry (please change this by running passwd)

Pre-installed on this image is the MQTT broker Mosquitto, Bluetooth support for none Bluetooth LE and settings for the homeassistant user to use the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi. Mosquitto is not activated by default.
