hello community I don’t know if it’s related to ecowath I don’t think so but since then, I’ve had to restart my Raspberry Pi (raspi) several times to access Gladys. it works for a few minutes then everything freezes and there’s no access anymore — I’m forced to restart again, the Raspberry Pi’s green LED blinks constantly every 2 seconds I think, I’m a bit lost here. ---

Negative — nothing. The system runs for a few minutes, then nothing; I can’t access anything anymore. Yet the Raspberry Pi’s green LED blinks constantly, so it’s busy — but with what? ---

Gladys being inaccessible is only a symptom, your Pi has hardware/network issues. ---

yes I think so but where and what I don’t know, or rather when it works for months and then stops; you have to look again into software and hardware problems — it eats up time researching, etc.. not being a Linux pro and not into configuration and command lines, I’ll simply give up and stick to Chinese software; I don’t have the patience or the time to tinker with IT anymore sorry it’s a rant, ---

I know, but well, I don’t have the courage to get my hands dirty anymore, and I don’t have the time either, because it’s insanely time-consuming, I’m dropping it for now, okay I’m going to feed my sheep LOL, thanks for your help, Gladys is super nice, but I just don’t have the patience anymore.

Hi @pascal_sapin! Maybe the Raspberry Pi isn’t the most suitable device for your use, it’s indeed a device « for tinkerers » that requires maintenance and a bit of follow-up, it’s not a consumer device at all… In the community some people have switched to consumer machines to replace their Pi, mini-PCs at 100€ that you can find in stores, and there it’s « consumer-grade » hardware, under warranty, and it works without any particular issues… (and if it’s broken, return it to the manufacturer). Maybe better suited to your need for long-term stability? 🙂 @Tlse-vins made the switch recently. We discuss it here : > [@Faire tourner Gladys sur un Mac Mini Intel pas cher?](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/faire-tourner-gladys-sur-un-mac-mini-intel-pas-cher/7617/30?u=pierre-gilles): > > J’ai partagé ce post sur Twitter car c’est super intéressant slight_smile[https://twitter.com/gladysassistant/status/1599299799492481024](https://twitter.com/gladysassistant/status/1599299799492481024) Je pense que ça serait bien qu’on rajoute une nouvelle catégorie dans la doc, « Installer Gladys sur un mini-PC », mettre quelques références de mini-PC avec leur prix, et expliquer dans la doc pour Raspberry Pi qu’en ce moment avec la pénurie de Rasp, un mini-PC est la meilleure option disponible ! ---

I’m planning to make a tutorial about what I set up on a mini PC, nothing too complicated. Also, Pierre-Gilles’ tutorials for installing Gladys manually are really well done. There’s just the Ubuntu (or other) installation part left to do. ---
