FHEM is a popular open-source home automation software with a web interface designed to control various smart devices. In this tutorial, we will be discussing the steps to install FHEM on the latest version of EndeavourOS using the AUR repository.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure to have the following prerequisites:

  • EndeavourOS Latest installed
  • Internet Connection
  • Non-root user with sudo privileges

Step 1: Update the System

It's always a good practice to update the system packages before installing any new software. Open the terminal and execute the following command to update the system:

Step 2: Install the Required Dependencies

Before installing FHEM, we need to install some dependencies. Execute the following command to install git and perl packages:

cd yay
makepkg -si

Once Yay is installed, execute the following command to install FHEM:

yay -S fhem

During the installation process, you will be prompted to confirm the installation. Press "Y" to proceed.

Step 4: Start and Verify FHEM Service

Once the installation is complete, start the FHEM service by executing the following command:

sudo systemctl start fhem

To verify if the service is running, execute the following command:

sudo systemctl status fhem

If the service is running, you will see an "active (running)" status message.

Step 5: Access FHEM Web Interface

Finally, access the FHEM web interface by opening the web browser and entering the following address:
