type: reference

SSH to HA Blue: `ssh -p 2222 csader@192.168.86.36`

- Port 2222 (SSH add-on)
- User `csader` — root is blocked by AllowUsers
- Key: `~/.ssh/id_ed25519` (ed25519, csader@chrissader.com)
- Use `sudo` for privileged operations (e.g., HACS install)

**How to apply:** When needing to run commands on HA Blue directly (install HACS, check custom_components, etc.), use this SSH path.
