Finally I started to add stuff to our smart home. I have a couple of shelly devices (flood and smart plug), but never really used it.
The flood device is a pain in the butt. That is not available all the time and gives error in the HomeAssistant. My Raspberry Pi 3 is running hassio 9.5, but I need to create python scripts. My older ESP-DSMR logger does not have an API, so there was a way around it with getting the data in a file and make that file input for something else. Wait: that is for an other post. This is about my search how to install python. trying sudo and apt-get : nothing. This did the trick:

woohoo … now I have python installed!

In a series of posts I am trying to clearify what I have been through (had to execute and had to do over etc.)

What made me give up on this setup, was that I could not find any post with relevant information about how to setup the connection from the outside to the inside Pi server.

Well at this point I am learning the mysterious features and endless possibilities that the Raspberry Pi can give us … but as always: when you’re learning something, following the defaults steps –> You always end up looking for a couple off not mentioned bugs.

I learned that the newer Pi versions don’t have SSH enabled by default. “Oh dear”  .. no worries. Nothing more than adding an empty textfile with the name SSH on the disk.

But here it starts. Inserted the shipped memory card with the adapter in the iMac SD card reader SLOT. It showed up for a second and dissapeared to never been seen again….”oh my .. oh dear”

I saw a Youtube movie from someone with a same problem on a MacBook Pro. He showed that the problem was the insert off the card: if you stop 1 or 2 mm before total insertion: it will show up again!

Can you believe that? ?
