</p>
<p>Saw the <a href="/blog/2017/04/30/hassbian-1.21-its-about-time/">announcement</a> yesterday for HASSbian 1.21 and got super excited?</p>
<p>Today well flash the latest HASSbian to a <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/pi-zero/">Raspbery Pi Zero W</a>.
<strong>With an added bonus</strong> that besides for an USB cable for power, theres no need for any cables!</p>
<p>What youll need:</p>
<ul>
<li>a Raspberry Pi Zero W (an amazing tiny computer with built-in wifi)</li>
<li>a microSD card</li>
<li>some source of USB power</li>
<li>Wifi</li>
<li>a desktop or laptop</li>
</ul>
<p>Lets get to it!</p>
<p>First, download the HASSbian 1.21 image from <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/pi-gen/releases/tag/v1.21">here</a>.</p>
<p>Unzip it.</p>
<p>Flash it to the microSD card. If you need a flash tool, try <a href="https://etcher.io/">Etcher</a></p>
<p>When the flashing finishes, remove it and plug it back in. You should see a drive called “boot”.</p>
<p>Right in there, not in any folders, create a file called <code class="highlighter-rouge">wpa_supplicant.conf</code>.</p>
<p>The contents of the configuration file should be something like this:
(You may have to adjust for your configuration, hints <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md">here</a> )</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>network={
ssid="YOUR_WIFI_NETWORK_NAME_HERE"
psk="YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD_HERE"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Next stick your SD card into the Raspberry Pi Zero W, and plug it in.</p>
<p>After about a minute, use your SSH client to connect to HASSbian (or <code class="highlighter-rouge">hassbian.local</code> from a Mac), with the username <code class="highlighter-rouge">pi</code>. The default password is <code class="highlighter-rouge">raspberry</code>.</p>
<p>Its a good idea to change the password. To do so, use the <code class="highlighter-rouge">passwd</code> command.</p>
<p>Next, type the following two commands into the SSH console:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ sudo systemctl enable install_homeassistant.service
$ sudo systemctl start install_homeassistant.service
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Wait about 15-20 minutes and voilà you have your Home Assistant on your Raspberry Pi Zero W in 30 minutes.</p>
<p>To try it out, go to <a href="http://hassbian:8123">http://hassbian:8123</a> or <a href="http://hassbian.local:8123">http://hassbian.local:8123</a> if youre using Mac.</p>
<p>For further details about HASSbian, take a look at the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/docs/hassbian/">documentation</a>.</p>
