Pi Service Setup and Operations

Use this page when you are setting up the Pi Service or checking whether it is behaving the way it should.

Before you begin

Have the platform URL and device credentials ready
Confirm the Pi can reach the CoreSnap platform network endpoints
Confirm the audio and device connectivity hardware is attached correctly

Core operational responsibilities

Connect to the platform as the intended device
Sync local sound assets
Sync local playlists
Accept control requests for supported runtime operations

Recommended setup flow

Install and start the Pi Service on the target Raspberry Pi.
Configure it with the correct platform URL and device credentials.
Confirm it reports healthy status locally.
Run a sound sync if audio features are required.
Run a playlist sync if playlist playback is required.
Test one known-good control or playback action.

Operational checks

Health endpoint responds normally
Device credentials are valid
Sound and playlist sync complete without obvious failures
Local playback tools are available and configured correctly

Common failure cases

Wrong platform URL or device credentials
Local networking problems between the Pi and platform
Missing local audio playback dependencies
Attempting playlist or sound operations before the initial sync is complete
