Home Assistant Addon support
Hi, I recently found out about this project and I was wondering if someone would care to add support for adding this project as an addon to home assistant.
Here's an example on how this could potentially be done.
I would've loved to do this myself, but I have 0 knowledge regarding docker.
If this isn't something anyone is interested in then that's fine as well feel free to close this issue is that's the case.
@FeikoJoosten Nice idea, we already feature callback urls. I for example using them in nodeRed to trigger several things, sometimes lamps, sometimes notifications.
What do you exactly looking for as features of the addon, what function exactly you hoping for.
Addons in HomeAssistant (HA) are basically just running dockerfiles, but without the user doing any work in something like portainer.
Prefferably I’d be able to just add this project as an addon. Configure the addon using a similar structure you’re currently doing. Then be able to start/stop the addon using HA.
Edit: Glad you like the idea!
I get the point, we are going to think about it. Is there an easy way to mange Docker networks in HomeAssist, because thats a key mechanic which needs to be configured in order to provide infrared with a workable environment
I think so. I mean, I’m also running things like nginx proxy manager haha. But I’m certain the people in the home assistant discord are capable of providing much better answers than me.
@MB175 Alright, I gave it a shot, but I don't know enough about docker and setting up addons for home assistant to do this myself unfortunately. Together with my work I don't have enough time to do this myself. 😞 If you want to close this request, feel free to do so.
@FeikoJoosten Right now its a work week, dont be sad i might take a look at it on a weekend. My main problem right now is i have no Home Assistent Test environment.
Ah same here regarding the work week hehe. From what I saw on the home assistant docs you should be able to create a local docker environment for home assistant. See https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/add-ons/testing
