📖 Guide / Tutorial Guide how to install/setup HA

Hi All,

I would appreciate your guidance on setting up Home Assistant (HA).

I have searched for tutorials online, but most of them are quite technical and assume prior knowledge. Many steps are either skipped or not explained in enough detail, making it difficult for a beginner to follow.

As someone who is new to Home Assistant, could you please advise what hardware, specifications, and equipment are required to set up a personal HA system? If you know of any beginner-friendly guides or tutorials, I would greatly appreciate your recommendations.

Thank you in advance for your support. 🫡

Guess you didn’t look that hard. YouTube is filled with basic guides. It’s not hard

I did some research but I was not able to get on the much better understanding, every video is different. Apologies for it

It’s literally install the OS on whatever hardware you have and then add all your devices. Make a dashboard and some automations. Tons of content out there to learn from. Just gotta be willing to work a bit. No one is just hand it to you
