Argon SSD base can be connected to your computer using an appropriate USB-A to whatever USB port your computer uses. The SATA SSD in the Argon base will then act as a USB-connected drive.
A not-too-well-known fact is that the Raspberry Pi OS is also available for a Mac or Intel/AMD machine. This turns your desktop into a large RPi. I use it to run odd-ball situations when I don’t want to mess with RPi boards. Create a LIVE install onto a USB drive, and boot into an RPi running on a powerful CPU with 32GB RAM.
Thank you, that was super easy to follow and timely - I got notification last week that Raspberry Pis had come back into stock and I ordered one along with the Argon One case, Argon PSU with on/off cable and SSD. It all arrived today and it all worked on the first attempt.
I'm glad to hear it! Congrats on the new RPI as well, those have not been easy to get lately! I'm glad everything worked for you, I'm working on some videos for what's next so I hope you find them useful. If you need any help in the meantime, let me know! Thanks for the comment.
I had a German Keybord so the Password was always wrong until i figured out how to set the language to german and dissable english, then i could enter the password. it works now thx
Hey Chuckbuilds - a lot of videos says it’s not possible to set HA up without Ethernet cable (or very difficult to do) As I have Starlink gen 2, I only have facility for WiFi and after searching for a video that shows you how to set-up using WiFi I found yours and as a bonus you have the same case and SSD as me. You’re a genius! Many thanks for the video my friend
Is there a way to get it to boot automatically when the Pi receives power? Eg if it loses power momentarily then power is restored - the Pi turns itself back on. Thanks
great video used it get mine running pretty fast. one question, do you know what the default account and password is for the Raspberry PI Home Assistant install?
Thanks for your video, you gave me the push to finally go HA, I made it almost to the end. HA is installed and seems to be working, wifi is connected however I can't open it on my browser, running a MAC mini with safari Version 16.6 . After entering the address I get "Safari Can't Open the Page". Were does the ":8123" come from is it the same for all. THX
I wish I had gotten that! I hadn't seen it when ordering this one a few years back and decided to stick with what I had. Good call out for others. I really like the Argon but the Sata drive is a big limitation.
Thanks for getting back to me... im new to Home ass. I got HassOS I2C up and running but step 4) Click the … button (in top left). 5) Add this Repository URL. Click ArgonOne Temp Control and install. i dont see no URL nor the app for ArgonOne temp controler in the app store!? @@ChuckBuilds
Ouuu I’m new to this I don’t know what (NIC) is but I’m doing this with an xps 15 laptop, I have the raspberry pi 4, on a nighthawk r7000 router. The raspberry is connected to Lan cable . But I don’t see the ip by the (wlan0). I also had an pi in the past that I got rid of.
Seriously? I mean the video is great, but how can you recommend an NVME SSD .. and only line out on screen that it's actually not suited for the exact purpose of the video??
There are some argon kits and SSD expansion boards that work with NVME, in which case I would recommend an NVME. I would recommend an NVME over SATA SSD as it is faster and generally cheaper. However, for my specific Argon SSD expansion board it requires a SATA SSD. If you are purchasing these parts, get the NVME versions. If you already had the parts, double check it doesn't require SATA like mine did.

The Raspberry Pi Imager Software allows you to set up SSH and/or WiFi as an option during the imaging procedure.
It does, but only for Raspbian OS, not HomeAssistantOS. I showed this around the 9:45 mark in the video!

@@chrislee5245 I don't think this feature exists for a Pi but it is built into a lot of BIOS' for computers. I cover it in my Dell Optiplex video.
@@ChuckBuilds I thought it would be possible, never mind. I had it years ago on my crypto mining rig
@@chrislee5245 It might! I didn't see anything on a quick google. Crypto mining on a pi? wild!
It’s been several years that the RPi 3/4 has not needed a USB Boot loader setup.
could use Ubuntu live usb stick
How do I enter the SSID if I have spaces in the name?
Quotes around the whole SSID
Hello, I did the same thing you showed in the video, but the case gets very hot, how can I control the fan?
There’s an addon for the argon one inside of HomeAssistant that lets you control the fan curve!
If I have already RPI OS installed on my SSD, how to install HA??
You need to use a flash drive to overwrite the ssd. You can’t be using the ssd for the os and overwrite it at the same time
Thank you, Can I install home assistant on PI running Kali Linux.
You should be able to with docker
great video used it get mine running pretty fast. one question, do you know what the default account and password is for the Raspberry PI Home Assistant install?
it should've prompted to you create one when you first access it
When I plug the USB jumper in nothing happens - the SSD is not detected.
What SSD are you using? And you're using an Argon case correct?
@@ChuckBuilds That's right and a Ediloca EN206
@@ChuckBuilds Addendum - I think the USB bridge was bad. I have it working with a separate USB to USB cable.
Can raspberry 3B also run home assistant on raspberry os?
I would recommend the HAOS but technically yes it would be able to run it in docker! Might be a bit slow if you have any video processing
Can you do tutorial for Orange Pi Zero 3?
Hi, I won’t be able to do one for just that platform but I imagine it’s not very different!

Hi the :8123 is the port that homeassistant is running on. You can’t leave that off. Try homeassistant.local:8123 in your address bar
Argon sold an NVME-capable base, but it’s been un-available for several months.. sad
I wish I had gotten that! I hadn't seen it when ordering this one a few years back and decided to stick with what I had. Good call out for others. I really like the Argon but the Sata drive is a big limitation.
how do you turn on the fan on the Argon one?
there's an addon! github.com/adamoutler/HassOSArgonOneAddon
Thanks for getting back to me... im new to Home ass. I got HassOS I2C up and running but step 4) Click the … button (in top left).
5) Add this Repository URL.
Click ArgonOne Temp Control and install.
i dont see no URL nor the app for ArgonOne temp controler in the app store!? @@ChuckBuilds
@@Chillwind Did you restart HA after adding the repository? Join my discord and start a thread in the support channel and I'll try to help!
thanks buddy, i got it, after 2 days off messing around and reading forums and a crash cource in Yaml file editing @@ChuckBuilds
Metal Table is a bad idea, unless it's grounded and then still covered it with a matt
I see where you’re coming from but it’s a coated nsf certified surface so I like to think it’s fine for my hobbyist use.
Mine can’t get an ip ?
What kind of device? Is your NIC supported by Linux?
Ouuu I’m new to this I don’t know what (NIC) is but I’m doing this with an xps 15 laptop, I have the raspberry pi 4, on a nighthawk r7000 router.
The raspberry is connected to Lan cable . But I don’t see the ip by the (wlan0). I also had an pi in the past that I got rid of.
Update: It was a case issue took it out of the case now the (end0) ip address is popping up now
