2. You must have the full install of MONO on your Pi Board, install with:
   • apt install mono-devel
   • apt install mono-complete
   • apt install mono-vbnc
3. You can start HS3 by entering ./go in the /usr/local/HomeSeer directory to test and then add a line in rc.local to start it automatically when your system starts. Start it using the script /usr/local/HomeSeer/autostart_hs.
4. login: homeseer | pass: hsthsths3
5. After starting your system, go to find.homeseer.com to connect to your system or connect to your pi’s IP on port 80. (If you already have a server running on port 80 (maybe Apache), edit the file /usr/local/HomeSeer/Config/settings.ini and change the setting “gWebSvrPort” to any port you want. Restart HS3 or your system.)
