Bluelink is communcated with via internet access. The car talks to the Bluelink cloud servers via its celular connection. You can access it from the Bluelink app (or via these unoffical Bluelink integrations for Hubitat and Home Assistant). Nothing gets loaded onto your car.
Home Assistant requires one (and only one) of the following to run. Pick one and follow the documentation. If you need more help, you can open a new post with the category "Lounge", since it's far off topic from Hubitat Elevation, but the Home Assistant forum is the most appropriate place for questions specific to Home Assistant installation and setup.
A preconfigured Home Assistant Green hub you buy
A Windows PC running a virtual disk image
A Macintosh computer running a virtual disk image
A Docker container (can be run on many different devices)
A Raspberry Pi 3 or newer
There are even more ways to run it, but they get very involved and technical. Not recommened for that reason. One of the above is easier.
You do not need a PC, it's one of the many optional computers you can install it on.
As I wrote, pick one.
There's a so called "companion app" available for free, but this is not the Home Assistant core software. It is merely a mobile interface to connect to, program and control Home Assistant. You cannot run the core system on a phone.
Are you talking about Hubitat or Home Assistant now? I'm unsure. There are free apps for both systems to connect to the hubs. Hubitat's is more limited with that can be done, but you can just access the Hubitat hub from a Web browser on your phone if you want.
For Home Assistant, you can also connect to it by a web browser on your phone, but the Home Assistant developers made a stand-alone app that allows administration of the hub too. Different philosophies on how the systems should work, Neither is right nor wrong, just different.
This is getting quite off the topic of this thread now. I'd urg you to read the Home Assistant documentation and ask questions on their forum. Hubitat forum and this thread in particular isn't the appropriate place to ask questions specific to Home Assistant.
Ok. Thanks.
I just want to use the Moded Version that is spoken here on the thread. Downloaded some Home Assistance apps on the phone, but can't figure how to load all the code there. Sorry for being a newb. I will do my best to research more about it and understand it to be able to use it and give some feedback if it will help the community.
I was speaking about why not making a standalone app specific for this to use directly from the phone. I believe this would be possible in any case.
Have a great day!
I think you're misunderstanding my responses. In one of my posts above, I provided links to information on how to install Home Assistant and the Home Assistant forum, but you didn't click on them. Maybe you're new to forums too? Sorry, I don't want to sound disrespectful, but it seems you're guessing a lot about what can be done, when there's quite a bit of very good documentation that has been written to help you.
If you click this link Home Assistant installation, the web page will guide you with exactly which hardware the Home Assistant Core software can be installed on. Think of Home Assistant Core as the hub itself. where you install it matters less, so long as it's supported.
I'm genuinely sorry, to mess up the thread and entering of topic as a newb.
I'm thankful for the informal provided.
Probably, was looking too much into an easy solution.
I will have to get more free time to figure it out through the documentation.
Thank you.
