  • In this video, I will walk you through the step of installing Home Assistant on VirtualBox in a Windows 10 PC. This home assistant setup, is usually don't on a RaspberryPi but for someone looking to test home assistant windows 10 install might serve them better. Home Assistant virtual machine setup allows you to spin up new session and really try out different setups without having to flash a SD card. The home assistant installation is fairly quick, so let me know if you have any questions below.

    For noobs out there as myself, be sure to activate Virtualisation from Bios to be sure that the Other Linux in 64 bit is available and not just the 32 bit. Thx for the vid, it was perfect.

      I can only see the "Other Linux (32-bit)" option, how do you find the option for 64-bit? I have gone through my Bios setting numerous times now where it just says SVM ---> YES. I have checked the OS settings and everything there checks out.

Though I do feel like an idiot after sitting here for nearly an hour wondering why nothing would happen after entering my Home Assistant IP address in the web browser, then I forgot I needed to add that IP address to my trusted zone to get around the firewall.

    Thank you for this information. Have performed the download / installation several times on the virtual machine (windows 10) because of different computer(s). The question that I have is how do I completely delete the home assistant from the virtual machine? seems like every time I install the virtual machine it finds the previous home assistant (with previous set up). I'm trying to perform a completely new installation on everything, but cannot seem to remove the previous home assistant.

  • @riffdex
    @riffdex 8 месяцев назад

    You said minimum of 2 processors. If I have a 8-Core/16 Thread CPU (Ryzen 7 2700) will this use up 2 entire cores, or can it utilize two threads only so that two threads of those 2 cores are still available? Also, if I designate 2 processors of my CPU to HomeAssistant, does that basically mean my machine only has 6 remaining to utilize for other purposes? So if HomeAssistant is using 2 Cores, does that mean my performance will suffer for other tasks?

    Great guide. I am currently running HA on Microsoft Hyper-V. Runs extremely well and happy with performance. But as you are likely aware, Hyper-V doesn't support USB pass-though. As my Lan based Vera Plus hub is no longer supported, I may have to migrate to a USB Z-Wave controller soon. Hence, I may now migrate VM off Hyper-V. Hyper-V is very lite and fast. Any chance that running VirtualBox as lite/fast when compared to Hyper-V? I've read from others that VB may introduce latency with the host Windows 10 system. Any insight or perspective from anyone is greatly appreciated.
