Document homeassistant migration and network blocker

Added HOMEASSISTANT.md with migration steps and configuration details.
Home Assistant config copied to R5C at /srv/homeassistant.

**BLOCKED**: podman installation fails on R5C due to extreme network latency
(1000+ ms Starlink connection) and DNS resolution failures. Package downloads
fail consistently.

Migration can proceed once R5C network is stable enough for apt-get to complete.

# Home Assistant + ESPHome on R5C
## Status
- ✅ Configuration copied: `/srv/homeassistant` on R5C (10.42.1.1)
- ⏳ **BLOCKED**: podman installation failed due to R5C network issues
- Network latency: 1000+ ms (Starlink issue)
- DNS resolution failures preventing apt-get from downloading packages
- All podman dependencies (golang, netavark, crun, etc.) failed to download
## Migration Steps (when network is stable)
### 1. Install podman on R5C
```bash
ssh root@10.42.1.1
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y podman
```
### 2. Start homeassistant container
```bash
podman run -d \
--name homeassistant \
--restart=always \
--privileged \
-v /srv/homeassistant:/config \
-v /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro \
--network=host \
ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
```
### 3. Access Home Assistant
- URL: http://10.42.1.1:8123
- Configuration: `/srv/homeassistant` (persistent across restarts)
## Configuration
Home Assistant config is at `/srv/homeassistant`:
- `configuration.yaml` — Main config
- `.storage/` — Automations, integrations, UI state
- `custom_components/` — Custom integrations
- Database: `home-assistant_v2.db`
## ESPHome (Future)
ESPHome setup deferred until network is more stable. When ready:
1. Copy `/srv/esphome` from old vanrouter (4.8GB)
2. Run ESPHome container on port 6052
## Network Issue
The R5C has extreme latency preventing reliable package installation:
- Starlink connection appears unstable
- Consider when deploying production services
- May need to pre-download packages on local machine and transfer via USB
