Document the development flow

I'd like to get my hands dirty but also avoid reinventing the wheel. What's the best way to setup an efficient development iteration? Could you please document it? Thanks!

Thanks for your interest! Yeah I need better docs for sure for this. If you're using Visual Studio Code, then this project includes a dev container that to my knowledge has only been tested on my machine 🙂.

Opening the project in a dev container will give you a local home-assistant instance with the plugin installed. There is a facility to launch a local Elasticsearch instance within the container as well -- when I get some more time I'll come back here with better instructions for you!


If the devcontainer route isn't your cup of tea, then you also have the option of installing this plugin to a local home-assistant instance, and editing the python files in-place. Just remember to restart home-assistant to see your changes reflected.
