Make this a component for Hassio
I am using multiple Hasssio installations and I am guessing more people are. Would it be possible to create this as a HACs integration as well? It would improve the posibility for a overview on my main installation.
Easy and quick to be able to utilize the information together with the lovelace card.
I have a number of small projects in the works... but I'll look into this after I complete a couple of them. Thanks for the suggestion. Normally I'd say just install this script but I do understand there are a couple of installation forms of home assistant that make this more difficult.
Thanks for the suggestion. More soon...
Question? What are you trying to solve by this being a HACs integration? I'm not sure I understand... I'm not sure what we'd be trying to make here. I'm willing to but I need to be really clear on what's being built.
I have multiple instances of hassio to control various objects. I would like to be able to get all data from those into my main installation top have a good overview.
Since they use hassio, I can't use direct Linux command so I was thinking of instead having a custom component and install trough HACS, then user the Lovelace card to show the info.
Great software. I have it installed on several pis already. I can confirm that it also works with RPi0W. I wanted to point out a few small things about the documentation:
First, the commands in the CONFIGURATION section need sudo (at least on my Pi). It annoyed me mildly twice after modifying the config file, and then not being able to save it. I should know better, but apparently I don't.
Second, regarding the modifications for the config file. The comments say what the default port is, but I had to uncomment out the default port assignment for it to work. ~Same for the MQTT sensor name~
I also had issues with the Lovelace card, but I should probably post those there.
Thanks for the public code!
Hello ironsheep
Are there any news on this topic? I am asking because I would like to use your "RPi Monitor Card" but as there is no counterpart, it always says "not loaded".
Thanks for the reply
@jds11111 i have over 15 installs of my own and many users around the world. You are the first person to report that the default port number doesn't work. Can you please verify this? It's working for me in all on my RPi's and my Onion Omega2+'s...
@dalwhin no there's no progress on making this a component for HA. Most of my users are adopting the Supervised install form which this current script works well on. Still keeping an eye on things... but i've a number of small other projects which are occupying my time... don't we all? ;-)

That was the odd thing with the RPi0W. I had to explicitly add the default port number to make it work. I did not change the actual port.
Since I'm running homeassistant on Hass.io I would be very intrested on the development on the HACs integration. Thanks

+1 for me... be nice to see this work with Hassio Pi's.
Thank you so much for this functionality, I love it!
I'm not a software developer and have little Python skills. What would be required to convert this script into a regular custom component?

Ho do you install it under HA OS at all? Could you provide some directions, because I do not understand how to install it if I am deprived of direct access to Linux.
For those of you running on developer provided RPi image of home assistant, please see https://github.com/ironsheep/RPi-Reporter-MQTT2HA-Daemon/issues/19 for a possible solution.
If you mean adding some sensors with similar features that is not a viable solution for me. I don't read any solution to install a daemon on hass os.
