the 2nd message is MQTT config. Do you have MQTT running?
rising-crimsonOP•2w ago
No he have a error

That is hass.agent, how about your Home assistant, do you have mqtt running there?
I'm no expert, I have HA for a few weeks, but this is the direction to look.
You can start here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt/

I only use hass.agent i think
on the documentation I have to go to this interface but I still can't access it @europpe

Home Assistant has a webpage by default. that's the homeassistant.local:8123 (that's its default local hostname, you dont need to censor it 😉 )
On the webpage, you can access the software side of Home Asisstant. That's where you will be setting any automations, scripts, integrating devices, etc.
And the software has to have an MQTT integration for HASS.Agent. Do be cognizant of the difference. Hass.agent runs on your PC, and talks to Home Assistant via MQTT. So, if you install HASS.Agent on your PC, you have MQTT on your PC running. You need it on Home Assistant as well.
There's multiple ways to get it, so I've sent you to the documentation. You can also try youtube tutorials on Home Assistant and MQTT; once you have MQTT running, try setting HASS.Agent

Yes ! But i don’t have acces to the webpage and when I trie too lunch MQTT a message is displayed with an error and MQTT don’t lunch

it can't. It's like trying to run powerpoint on your TV. it has no idea what powerpoint is unless you install it.
There's no way ahead unless you do get to open your home assistant and install the integration.
How did you install home assistant?
rising-crimsonOP•2w ago
I have download home assistant.exe and lunch it
foreign-sapphire•2w ago
Okay, so you have it running on your computer. Is it the same you're trying to get hass.agent on?
rising-crimsonOP•2w ago
Yes !

What do you want to achieve?
rising-crimsonOP•2w ago
i want to Connect m’y pc on m’y phone too lunch it remotely

You wouldn't be able to do that with your configuration.
Home Assistant needs to be running to send commands like Wake on LAN to your PC. So your PC needs to be running to send commands to your PC. But to have your PC running so that you can turn it on is useless.
I'd suggest looking for a different tool for this specific job. The easiest way I see would be using Wake on LAN.
That's a technology that your PC probably has. It means that it's network interface is listening even if it's turned off, and if you send a specific command via network (wifi), it will turn itself on.
For that You should seek help elsewhere.
However I'll say this: in principle, the steps are two: Enable Wake on LAN (in BIOS), and get something that can send Wake on LAN commands. There are apps for that.

Yes it is possible but yes i need Wake on LAN but with m’y pc and m’y phone i can do what I want
HASS.Agent and every other windows app has no control over boot up, use WoL in BIOS and get a wake on lan app for your phone, will need to be on the wifi. For outside your wifi you will need to get more complicated with an always on device(server, rpi/mini pc or a whole machine) thats running some kind of VPN tunnel such as tailscale or a custom wireguard
Let me know if you still need HASS.Agent help with anything @𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽

I'd suggest this video if you want home assistant based solution https://youtu.be/2UL5j4tAEH8
Remember, the home assistant instance has to be active, so it must be on a device that's turned on.

Turn on your PC with Home Assistant!
Use Wake On Lan to turn on your PC without touching it!
Wake On Lan (WOL) is widely supported on almost all Network Interface Cards (NICs). This setup will allow you to wake your PC from Home Assistant. It can be set up in any automation - so you could do stuff like wake your PC when your VR headset is picked up. The problem I'm solving in this...
