There seems to be a few annoying limitations with the Umbrel implementation of HA. ? No access to Add-Ons. Not able to upload Back-ups (can download back-ups, but not upload?). Unless I’m being dense. No integration auto scan. Integrations that are finicky about firewalls & ports (Sonos etc.) just…

Hi everyone, I’m experimenting too with Home Assistant and ESPHome and I have the same issues. ESPHome is not discovering my devices in my network. I think this is because the container used umbrel_main_network and not the host network, so the container cannot access devices in the local network. …

No sorry, I just decided to ignore the problem, and continue to run HA on Umbrel as-is.

Im trying to get my Daikin air conditioners integrated into HA and the addons functionality would make this easier as i need to connect the daikin ONECTA Cloud API to it. After doing a bit of research I can see that umbrels “docker” type install method does not natively support the Home Assistant C…

Home Assistant on Umbrel is useless and nothing more than a toy.

Hi guys. I have my umbrel node and just starting home automation and came across the same issues you guys had. I found this video on youtube (It’s in Brazilian). Where the guy installs home assistant supervised through the umbrel Terminal. Do you think this is a solution would it be ok? […

I’d be interested to know if you ever resolved this. I’m running into the same problem with my Home Assistant on Umbrel - I cannot find a way to edit the configuration file.
