Install Tater through the dedicated Home Assistant add-on repository, with Redis Stack as the required companion service.

Why choose this

Key points

  • The README points to a dedicated Home Assistant add-on repository for Tater.
  • The add-on store exposes Redis Stack and Tater AI Assistant together.
  • This path is for running the Tater container stack from Home Assistant's add-on workflow; Tater's current voice/display work is managed from the built-in WebUI.
Install flow

Steps

  1. Add the Tater add-on repository: https://github.com/TaterTotterson/hassio-addons-tater
  2. Install and start Redis Stack first.
  3. Install Tater AI Assistant second.
  4. Start Tater and open the WebUI ingress page.
  5. Complete Redis setup in the popup if prompted, then configure Hydra model settings in WebUI.
  6. Verify the WebUI loads through ingress and that Tater's main API routes are reachable.
Important notes
  • Awareness automations now run in Awareness Core inside Tater rather than a separate automation bridge endpoint.
  • Dashboard briefs, environment summaries, awareness snapshots, and ESPHome display notifications are now Tater-native surfaces.
  • Companion and smart-home routes can use the shared X-Tater-Token header when API auth is enabled.
