Thanks, I will.  
It’s just because on Shelly it is possible that I asked:

You can also reach Raspis with Home Assistant installed. All you need to do is install the “Terminal and SSH” add-on in HA. During configuration, you only need to assign port 22 and a password.

Nice. What OS is being used then? Is that a dedicated HA OS?

Got my Pi Zero and added it as device, I can read all kind of Pi variables (temperature, CPU etc), but if I try to change the output of a pin, I get an error: Can’t set pin value, not an output.  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/d/6d9ff7583d7f976d49cae07ae1631206e728c17e.png)  
I also tried to trigger an event whent a GPIO gets high, but no effect as well.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/5/55851afc9f241baf4feb060685d8a3988fba4e48.png)

Am I missing/forgetting something?

edit: Also with GPIO 22, 21 and other, I had some confusion with the GPIO pin numbers.

edit2: I ssh’d into my Pi and changed an input into an output: “pinctrl set 16 op” and now it’s working. Inputs are working as well one of my breadboard cabe had a bad connector ☹

edit3: No need to SSH into my Pi, can do it in a flow as well:

That means that pin is not configured as an output. You can use this command to set pin29 to output:  
**raspi-gpio set 29 op**

As a long time unix and linux system administrator I do welcome this idea. However 1 thing should relative fast be updated: The password for the ssh-user should NOT be stored anywhere. Since ssh is used, it is better to use a key-exchange with public and private keys.

Once the key-access is in place I might even use it.

I get this quite often:

And if i click on it:

When I restart the app manually it works again.

Bad connection, or your rpi is too busy. Especially if it is a rpi0 you need to increase the poll time.

Both actually. Set GPIO poll to 5 secs. Or disable completely (0) if you do not use GPIO states in Homey.  
Set other poll to e.g. 10 secs.

Top one was already on 10, changed to bottom one to 5. Let’s see what it brings.  
I do use some IO pins for input (switching on lights by hand).

Nope, still same problem. Too bad.

No problem pinging the device and after restarting the app, it all works fine again. Maybe the app doesn’t reconnect automatic if the wifi connection is temporary lost?

Edit:  
I restarted the app and the connection was lost within 6 hours. I give up, this isn’t a stable solution (for me).

Hi, i am using the app and i noticed that the (wired) network statistics are 0.

When i took a look into the source code i saw eth0 is used to get the info, but on my Raspberry Pi the interface is called end0 and i know linux now default create names for the network-interfaces, so can the app be updated to set the network-interface-names in the settings (where also the login-credentials and ip-address are set ?

Hello @Gruijter  
Thank you for your app.  
I’m currently using it for a:

Dell Wyse 5070 4xCPU  
Debian 12, x64  
Model: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Silver J5005 CPU @ 1.50GHz  
RAM: 15.3 GB / SSD (SATA) Disk Size: 232.2 GB

It would be great if you could perhaps build an app for general hardware?  
I’m still missing the features marked in green.

Perhaps you have a bit of time for that sometime? 😉 😊
