Patatman HASS Config 🍟

Basic Home Assistant config, with regular updates

• over 20 different components
• Updated love-lace
• Minimal custom components, so it just works!
• Simple automations
• Tutorials (coming soon!)

Naming convention

Zigbee naming scheme:

<room>_<location>_<type>_<nr> e.g. livingroom_couch_light_1 or office_window_sensor

It is possible for sensor not having a Number, for instance the Office window only has 1 door/window sensor so naming should be kept short as possible.

Automation naming:

If room specific, lighting for example. <room>_<type>_<trigger> e.g. kitchen_light_motion-on or livingroom_light_button-1

If it's a virtual automation, like alarm: <type>_<trigger>_<action> e.g. alarm_pending_notification or telegram_windows-open_notification

Installation

First clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/patatman/patatman-homeassistant-config.git

Next, edit the docker-compose file to match our enviroment. More about docker-compose here: Docker Then move the docker-compose.yml file one folder up.

$ cp docker-compose.yml ../docker-compose.yml

This is needed since we're mounting the whole directory as our config.

If you'd only like to use a certain compenent, just copy the configuration to your own configuration, and create a Frankensteie config (made up of bits and pieces of everyone's configuration)

Docker-compose Usage

I like to use Docker-compose opposed to a long docker run command. Since it gives me more flexibility in restarting home-assistant. It's also easier to maintain, since it's a single file. Some of the basics commands you might already use with docker:

Start the container in the foreground

$ docker-compose run

This runs the container in the foreground, showing all TTY straight into your terminal. Handy for debugging. To exit, hit ctrl + c

Exiting a container running in the foreground will kill it. Meaning Home Assistant will no longer be active.

Start the container in the background

$ docker-compose run -d

With the -d parameter you send the TTY to the background. This is the recommended way of running Home Assistant, since you can use your terminal.

Restart containers

$ docker-compose restart

Show running containers

$ docker-compose ps

View logs

$ docker-compose logs -f

This will open the logs, and automatically follow them(showing new entries). You can also send it without -f, this will not follow the logs.
