The problem

Hello there

I have installed the HA Core on Windows following the guidelines in the page:

When I reached the end of the steps and tried HASS I only get errors as below:

[Errno 98] error while attempting to bind on address ('0.0.0.0', 8123): address already in use means that there is already an process listening on port 8123. Maybe you have started it twice? It is already running in background? You should check which process is listening on 8123 within your wsl

Thanks, after further investigation, I found write up from another user having the same issues as me, and he recommended adding

pip install git+https://github.com/boto/botocore

so I have done a full re-installation and add that package just before starting HASS and now works

I only need to know how to auto-start HASS whenever Windows starts up

Any ideas?

Cheers
