IP and Openhab conecction

[HestiaPi]

Did you connect to the HESTIAPI WiFi network to enter your WiFi name and password?
If you did, download a network scanning app like Fing and scan your network 5 minutes later to find the HestiaPi IP. There is an option to show open ports on it and you should see at least port 8080 and 22.
If entering [YOUR_HESTIAPI_IP]:8080 on a browser brings you nothing, try SSH (download putty) to the same IP (without any port numbers) and login with pi and hestia as credentials and run these commands entering hestia as the password if prompted again:

Touchscreen not responding

This worked to restore openhab2. I am now able to use the app, and connect and make adjustments with my phone/PC. Since openhab2 was running I ran: sudo systemctl stop openhab2 sudo openhab-cli clean-cache sudo openhab-cli reset-ownership sudo reboot My touchscreen, however still does not register touches. Any diagnostic advice?

@Ramyb

do i need to connected to Openhab to have the ip working ?

Absolutely not.

@Ramyb

do i need the other components like lcd and sensor to get it working?

LCD and relays are somehow optional. For a standard use of a thermostat though one would need at least 1 relay. For testing like you do, no you don’t need them.
