Onboarding

Onboarding to Home Assistant (NOT Needed with the Magic Cube)  (For Reference ONLY)

NOTE:  Home Assistant on the MAGIC Cube has already been onboarded for the Cube’s Special uses.  Only use this as a guide and only if instructed by Support.

This Manual is modified and customized from the original Home Assistant Documenation available here.

• Enter the Home Assistant device’s address in your browser’s address bar

  • Typically, this is https://magiccubeaura.local:8123/

  • Ignore all browser SSL certificate warnings. This is a local site that uses a self issued SSL certificate. Choose Accept (Advanced, Accept) and Proceed.

  • If you are running an older Windows version or have a stricter network configuration, you might need to access Home Assistant at https://magiccubeaura.local:8123 or http://X.X.X.X:8123 (replace X.X.X.X with your device’s IP address).

  • Result: You now see the welcome screen. Depending on your hardware, preparation may take a while.

  

With Home Assistant installed, it’s time to set up the basics.

In this step, you will create the owner’s account of Home Assistant. This account is an administrator account. It will always be able to change everything.

• If you want to restore from a backup of a previous installation, contact support@innovo.net.

• If this is your initial installation, select Create my smart home.

• Enter a name, username, and password. Select Create account.

• We highly recommend keep this as the default username / password that was shipped with the Cube if you want to receive cloud based support.

  

• IF THE NEXT STEP SEEMS STUCK AND DOESN’T MOVE TO THE NEXT STEP IN 5 SECONDS, CLICK THE REFRESH BUTTON IN YOUR WEB BROWSER AND CONTINUE

  Enter the location of your home.

  • The location is used to populate settings such as time zone, unit system, and currency.
  • It is also used for location-based information and automations: for example showing the weather-forecast, opening the shades at sunrise, or starting the vacuum when you leave the home.
  • If you’d rather not send your location, you can choose a location far away from where you live.
  • You can always change this information later in the settings.
  

• Select which information you are willing to share.

• Sharing is disabled by default. However, we would like to encourage you to share some of this data.
• This information helps us to find out which platforms we need to support and where to focus our efforts.
• The data is anonymized and aggregated. To see the charts we generate out of this data, take a look at our analytics page
• . 

• Once you are done, select Next.

• Finally, select Finish.

  • Now you’re connected to the Home Assistant web interface. If some of your devices were discovered and setup automatically, this default dashboard may already show some of your devices.
