Add-on: Home Assistant Google Drive Backup

I haven’t really been posting here for every release I make on the addon, but today I just released a new version, v0.109.1. Here is the list of changes since my last announcement (ignoring bug fixes). No huge features, just quality of life stuff and fixing little bugs that come up:

  • If configured from the browser, the web-ui now defaults to a “dark” theme if haven’t already configured custom colors.
  • Now you can configure the interval at which the addon publishes sensors to Home Assistant (see the “Uncommon Options” settings)
  • “Free space in Google Drive” is now published as an attribute of the “sensor.backup_state” sensor.
  • The “sensors.backups_stale” sensor will now report a problem if creating a backup hangs for more than a day (this was a problem for at least 1 person).
  • Added a warning for existing users if you’re not ignoring upgrade backups.
  • Added a warning about google’s OOB deprecation for private credential users.
  • Added commenting on backups, ie you can annotate them before or after creation.


*The addon is free to use and there is no intention of changing that in the for foreseeable future. It does cost me real money to run. Donations help keep the lights on indefinitely.
