Check if the Home Assistant Green is plugged in and the yellow LED blinks in a heartbeat pattern. For more information on the LED patterns, see Home Assistant Green LEDs.
Check if the LED on the Ethernet port is active. If it is not active, try the following:
Try using a different port on your router.
Try using a different Ethernet cable.
The battery serves as a backup power supply for the real-time clock.
You need to install a battery only if you are planning to boot the Home Assistant Green in an environment where there is no internet connection for an extended period of time. Then the clock cannot synchronize.
When installing the CR2032 battery, make sure the positive side is facing upwards. You should see the plus sign on top.
If you forgot the owner's password, you need to connect an external monitor and keyboard to Home Assistant Green and reset the password via terminal. To do this, follow the steps on Using the console on the HDMI display.
To reset the password, enter auth reset --username 'existing_user' --password 'new_password'.
The ha command line doesn't support all special characters.
When resetting via the command line, use a short and simple password without special characters. Once reset, go and replace it with a complex one in the UI.
For example, to reset the password for the user yelena to 12345, enter auth reset --username 'yelena' --password '12345'.
Log in with the new password.
Go to your User profile and on the Security tab, replace the simple password with a complex one.
