• update.cmd - try update Home Assistant version (stop Hass before updating)
• web.url - open default Browser with http://localhost:8123/
• config/reset.cmd - reset Home Assistant but don't touch config files

Supervisor and Addons

HassWP don't have and can't have supervisor and any Hass.io addons. Supervisor can be installed only over Docker. Nativelly Docker works only on Linux core. In any other OS it will use virtualization.

If you really needs Hass.io addons on Windows - use virtualization.

Move config

You can transfer your configuration to another Hass installation at any time. In another HassWP, venv, docker, hass.io, etc. Windows or Linux, it doesn't matter. Just move the contents of the config folder to a new location. Remember about config/.storage folder, it is also important. The config/deps folder may not be moved, but if you do, it's not a problem.

Before any movement - stop the old and new Home Assistant!
