Add-on ideas

Kyso looks like a really great tool - could contribute notebooks of analysis of HASS database data

https://kyso.io/

Seems that you can’t host that yourself (for free). I’ve been using InfluxDB and Grafana and have no issues with that setup. (Even available for hass.io now: Repository: Bestlibre Addons repository )

Kyso can be hosted and run in docker for free, and teams can be created. However notebooks are ‘public’ on the free tier. For hassle free jupyter notebooks this could be a good way to go.

I’ve been using netdata instead of glances and really like it. It would be really nice to have for hass.io

I am currently working on a local kiosk browser, so you can deploy hass.io on a Pi3 with a touchscreen.
Hopefully ready soon.

For those of us that keep our config at github; an add-on that that listens for web-hooks (or periodically polls) from github or travis, and automatically pulls the config down when there is something new.

Made something similar https://github.com/vkorn/hassio-addons/tree/master/configwatcher but using git pulls as it’s more unified than web-hooks (I’m using bitbucket, for example).

Tor’s Hidden Service feature would be nice as an addon

I’ve found this and this docker image, maybe this can be incorporated?
And these two articles (link, link).

I need this because my ISP provides me with an ipv6 ip address, thus I cannot connect from my smartphone if I’m away (my mobile provider only provides LTE with ipv4)

I know there is IPv6 over IPv4, maybe it also exists the other way around?
I have previously set-up an hidden onion service for HA, and that worked. But you’ll have to use a tor browser on your phone, and it kinda sucks (except for when you really want your home-server to be invisible on the web, but I’m running more things like Plex etc so that’s not the main priority for me)

Yeah I checked some IPv6 to IPv4 services. I tested the TOR hidden service with a normal install and really liked it. In general I don’t need acces to the homeautomation system from outside my flat, however it would be nice to have the possibility to just check it in some cases.

I also had a TOR connection on my hassbian for those rare situations I had to use it outside my house.

Anyone got the skills to take this https://github.com/aptalca/docker-ha-bridge and make it into a Hass.io add-on? I have it running on my Pi now using Hassbian but believe it has to be an add-on with Hass.io. I have the docker file working on a Pi2 and Odroid C2 using Docker for LibreELEC and it works a treat but would be awesome to see this made available for Hass.io.

anyone did this?

I would love to see an HDMI-CEC add-on

I like to see a PI-Hole add-on

I think pi-Hole would be a good add-on.

@xbmcnut, check out Repository: NotoriousBDG Add-Ons (Node-RED, HA Bridge, and Gogs) for an HA Bridge add-on.

Would this (https://hub.docker.com/r/johncardenas/happybubbles-presence/) work in order to make a happy bubbles addon?

Thank you! I’ll give that a go.

I am using on my pi a vpn server. So maybe this would be useful:
