Home Assistant 'Hass' is a home automation system running on Unix-systems and AppDaemon is used along with it to further empower developers to write Python-based automations and apps, working with Hass.
I don't excel at either Unix or Python but I still enjoy Home Assistant and want to use .NET to accomplish things I couldn't with Hass-AppDaemon. Hence the birth of this project, and being inspired by AppDaemon I want to enable myself and others to use their existing .NET knowledge to write app-like implementations based on Hass.
It is easy, just nuget-install Rille.Hass.AppStarter and follow the steps and you'll be going in no time!
- By nuget
Install-Package HomeAssistant.AppStarter - https://www.nuget.org/packages/HomeAssistant.AppStarter/
- Or by downloading this library.
- Create a class that implements IHassApp
- Filling out the various properties (see code for examples)
- Implement ExecuteAsync() with your code
Super easy! Better show with code:
public async Task RunAppStarter()
{
await Task.Delay(0);
var appRunner = new HassAppsRunner("ws://192.168.0.201:8123/api/websocket");
appRunner.TraceOutput += (sender, args) => _logger.Trace(args.Exception, args.Text);
appRunner.DebugOutput += (sender, args) => _logger.Debug(args.Exception, args.Text);
appRunner.WarnOutput += (sender, args) => _logger.Warn(args.Exception, args.Text);
appRunner.InfoOutput += (sender, args) => _logger.Info(args.Exception, args.Text);
appRunner.ErrorOutput += (sender, args) => _logger.Error(args.Exception, args.Text);
appRunner.Start();
System.Console.WriteLine($"\n-- Connected. Press any key to exit --");
System.Console.ReadKey();
appRunner.Stop();
}And an app to help you wake up! (It will be found by the AppStarter since it scans for everything that implements IHassApp)
public class WakeUpApp : IHassApp
{
public string TriggeredByEntities { get; set; } = "automation.wakeup_*"; // <-- yes, wildcards are supported!
// Dependencies (IoC or Factories not supported right now)
private readonly Logger _logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
private readonly HassWebApiServiceProxy _hassApiProxy = new HassWebApiServiceProxy("http://192.168.0.201:8123/api");
public async Task ExecuteAsync(EventData e, string rawData)
{
if (e.StateChangeData.OldState != "on" || e.StateChangeData.NewState != "on")
return; // A trigger for an automation has both these states set to "on" by some reason.
_logger.Info($"Executing {nameof(WakeUpApp)} for [{e.EntityId}]");
// Turn on all lamps
await TurnOnLightFor("light.dimmer_vardagsrum_level", 155);
await TurnOnLightFor("light.dimmer_minihall_level", 155);
await TurnOnLightFor("light.dimmer_hall_level", 155);
await TurnOnLightFor("light.led_sovrum_tak_level", 255);
}
public bool IsExecuting { get; set; }
private async Task TurnOnLightFor(string entity_id, int brightness)
{
await _hassApiProxy.CallHassService("light", "turn_on", new {entity_id, brightness});
}
}Since Hass exposes a Websocket API, this lib will subscribe to all state_changed events via this Websocket, and connect your written apps with those events.
- Since it's in alpha development it will crash! Feel free to contribute. :)
