![]() ![]() You can also access all the states and attributes of Home Assistant entities. ![]() The framework is event-driven, so you need to set up listeners for various events that happen in Home Assistant, so your code will be called automatically. Additionally, there is an API reference for quick lookup. There is a comprehensive tutorial that walks you through all the steps here. The best way to get started is to read the documentation. In this case, you should see a "Hello from AppDaemon" message in your logs indicating that the initial setup is done, you can check for this with: Once you restart AppDaemon, the apps will automatically load. $ cat /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/apps.yaml In order to activate and configure an app you will need to add the following inside ‘apps.yaml’: The hello.py code above was taken from the installation instructions, but you can find some useful apps in this repository as well at. Self.log("You are now ready to run Apps!") $ cat /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/apps/hello.py $ mkdir /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/apps $ cat /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/appdaemon.yaml The appdaemon.yaml configuration file also stores the credentials to access your Home Assistant instance, or can read them from the file ‘secrets.yaml’. You will need to create a default configuration preferably inside your HA configuration directory and add a default application to test your setup. $ cat /etc/systemd/system/rviceĮxecStart=/usr/local/bin/appdaemon -c /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant You should also create this systemd service to handle automatic startup: In the future, you can easily upgrade appdaemon with: Installation is straightforward, and you can find instructions at. An added bonus is that it comes with a framework to build pretty-looking dashboards.ĪppDaemon can be installed either on the same system as Home Assistant, also known as HA, or on a different system since it communicates with HA over a network socket. It gives you the flexibility to write complex automations directly in Python, and if you have a programming background, this will be easier than writing long automations in YAML. This is a framework that allows you to build your own Python applications and have them react to events and interact directly with Home Assistant. In this article we're going to look at a Home Assistant companion - AppDaemon ( ). ![]()
