Connecting to WiFi causes error on Raspberry Pi 4 #3616

When is the error appearing exactly, when you press Save? In a quick test on a Raspberry Pi 4 here, setting WiFi configuration did work. Maybe it is something specific with your WiFi? What security mode are you using? What WiFi version and channel are you using? |

Thank you,

Yes

WiFi is OK, have another HA configured in the past, works fine
WiFi configuration does not work
What security mode are you using?
ROUTER: WPA2-PSK[AES], ha: wpa2 + Password
What WiFi version and channel are you using?
2.4GHz channel 3, 802.11n
5GHz channel 36, 802.11ax
Auto configure
other - functioning - ha: Detected: wlan0
currently problematic: Detected: end0
I tried to see the setting over ssh + network + ...:

Same for me. Yesterday I tried to setup a new Home Assistant instance using the Web UI also on rpi4-64. Each retry increases the number in the message: Luckily, I had a backup to restore. |
|
Same problem for me on a Pi4. I previously had HA on a Pi3 working with wifi ok. |
|
The problem is somewhere in Linux and Network manager - I suppose |

Same Problem for me (RPI4, HA 2024.10.1) two days ago, so I am now still using LAN connection as workaround. I had a similar Installation prior to HA 2024.10 3 weeks ago, which had no major issues configuring wifi. UPDATE: Issue still exists with version HA 2024.10.2:

I just got myself a brand new Raspberry Pi 4 to finally try and get into Home Assistant, and the first thing I encounter is a somewhat abysmal user interface for configuring WiFi which spews these unprocessed internal error messages into my face. It took me a while to find the correct GitHub repository and this issue. I now realize that there is a "Bug reports" link hidden in the "About" section which isn't easy to find and it doesn't even point at this repository in particular. The first thing I found using my preferred search engine was the "Home Assistant Community" where WiFi issues seem to be dealt with in a very condescending manner of telling you how WiFi is unreliable and making you look like an idiot for not using a cable connection in the first place. I'm well aware that this is somewhat off-topic, but I hope the people voluntarily working on this project are aware that this isn't the type of pleasant user experience that is going to convince people to switch over from proprietary solutions to something like HA OS. At least give an error message that tells the average user what to do now and keep the confusing technical details to the logs or a report function. Do anything but a modal with a cryptic error message and an OK button. Please. |
try to install HAOS normally, on your SD-card or USB stick. |
I installed HA OS onto an SD-card using Raspberry Pi Imager as described in the official documentation and ran into this same issue. This is a normal setup, unless it is not, in which case it either shouldn't be in the official documentation or marked as not officially supported. Can we skip the not helpful "user must have done something wrong" comments and get to actually fixing the problem? |

Well, my installation was not my first, could not be more "normal" - following manual, using official images documentation.... |
|
This bug does not seem to be Raspberry Pi specific, I'm seeing the same error message running 2024.10.2 on x86-64. |

Same problem here running HA on x86-64 architecture. Core 2024.10.2
