I am just trying to install the openhabian image for the Pi4 on my brandnew Pi4 4GB v1.2
I am using the latest image using etcher to write the 32GB SD card putting the card into the PI.
Power and LAN, green LED starts flashing approx. for a minute after that nothing.
Network LEDs orange is stable green is flickering, I can´t find the PI in FING either.
Just downloaded the image again, not helping …
Just checked now openhabian.conf and realized that Wifi settings are already uncommented.
I thought these entries should be commented by default and can be uncommented when required.
So i commented the Wifi entries and the Wfi country entry.
Again stucks after approx 1 minute - Whats wrong here?
Next try, I have entered the WIFI details in openhabian.conf to try now the WIFI boot.
No luck! The green LED stopps after approx a minute. the device doesn´t appear in the LAN.
I was waiting multiple times more than 45 minutes, but as I said the green LED is absolutely quite and the Pi doesn´t appear in LAN and I guess it should?
I remember when I did it with my Pi3 it tooks never longer as 15 min
Might it be a possibility that there are people existing as non-coders and not daily working in GIT environments, can it be? Is Openhab not also created for people not Linux experts?
So is it really a problem helping people when asking for a Tip if there is no obvious download link on that page for alpha images?
Can you believe that it is frustrating when having such trouble when expecting a standard installation procedure and getting answers like just read a bit deeper, I better stop now cause it could get rude
Thanks for your help, have a good night you are the man!
with debugmode maximum it only shows rk connectivity instead ensuring network connectivity
You wrote “couldn´t find something helping” although there is a debug guide that is telling you what to try but you apparently did not read or did not follow, so to read again was proper advice, like it or not.
And the image link was just one click away.
You don’t have to take advice. But you shouldn’t insult people trying to help either.
So debugging is something for a standard user, like milk shopping in the super market?
Is openhab requiring debugging as default installation method?
maybe I give IOBroker or one of the other smarthome applications a try.
Debugging isn´t for me and for sure not acceptable for many other users (possible users not even able to install openhab).
Am I or is it you who is on the wrong track here - think about it in your nutshell of debugging and set maximum debugging …
Maybe even as a sustaining member you aren´t always on the right track…
Boris:
I know this can be frustrating, I’m sorry for the troubles you are experiencing. You said you have used OH on a Pi3 so you know your way around a bit. It honestly sounds like some other issue. Can you install a different operating system on your new Pi4? Isn’t there an option to install NOOBS or another operating system or something? Maybe just to confirm that there isn’t a problem with your network, your internet connection or the hardware itself?
