Home Assistant is a widely adopted open-source home automation software that works on both full fledged PC's, as well as in micro-computers such as Raspberry Pi. We will learn today on how to install and configure on Windows PC.

To deploy the Home Assistant Frontend repository on a Windows PC, follow these steps:


1. Prerequisites

  • Install Node.js: Download and install Node.js, which includes npm (Node Package Manager).
  • Install Git: Download and install Git to clone the repository.
  • Install Yarn: Yarn is required for dependency management. Install it globally using npm:
    npm install -g yarn
    
  • Install Python: Some dependencies may require Python. Install Python 3.x and ensure it's added to your PATH.

2. Clone the Repository

  • Open Command Prompt or PowerShell and run:
    git clone https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend.git
    
  • Navigate to the cloned directory:
    cd frontend
    

3. Install Dependencies

  • Run the setup script to install all required dependencies:
    script/setup
    

4. Start the Development Server

  • To start the development server, run:
    script/develop
    
  • This will build the frontend and start a local development server.

5. Access the Frontend

  • Open your browser and navigate to the local server address (e.g., http://localhost:3000).

6. Additional Notes

  • If you encounter issues, ensure you have the latest versions of Node.js, Yarn, and Python installed.
