Hello, I am new to HA and my question is - how to run ebusd (a third party utility protocol daemon) on the same host with HA supervised installation? So that the built-in ebusd integration would talk to the said daemon on the same machine.
I guess Docker could be an answer, according to https://hub.docker.com/r/john30/ebusd/. What I miss is understanding of how to set the whole thing up. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Tim
Hi, Iām struggling with the same thing. Have you been able to run ebusd on you HA ?
Looks like I have some progress. Even if you already managed to do this Iāll leave my version here in case someone else having the same issue.
The first thing I installed is Portainer in order to run the docker container. Then I tried to run you mentioned. But the problem is that it is set up for amd64. Raspberry Pi is arm architecture. Fortunately enough hub.docker.com has a filter by the architecture and someone already forced ebusd image and adopted it for armā¦ Iāve used this one https://hub.docker.com/r/lukics/ebusd-3.3.
I the Portainer chose images section choose DockerHub for registry and type lukics/ebusd:armv7 for Image and click Pull the image. Than in the container section click Add container. Name somehow. ebusd for instance. Type lukics/ebusd:armv7 in Image field. Then click publish a new network port next to Manual network port publishing. Type 8888 for both host and container.
In the Advanced container settings select Interactive & TTY (-i -t).
In Restart policy choose Always.
In Runtime & Resources click add device next to devices. Type /dev/ttyUSB0 for both host and container. (actually for host it may vary depending on which port your adapter is plugged. But for me it worked with USB0).
Now you can hit Deply the container button and see the logs if it works properly. You should be able to see the ebusd outpul in logs an run ebusctl commands in the console.
Next if container works well you need to add fe lines to your /config/configuration.yaml file.
Here are some docs. And here is my setup:
ebusd:
host: 127.0.0.1
circuit: 'bai'
port: 8888
name: 'Vaillant'
monitored_conditions: ['HotWaterTemperature', 'StorageTemperature', 'DesiredStorageTemperature', 'OutdoorsTemperature', 'WaterPreasure', 'ReturnTemperature', 'DesiredFlowTemperature', 'FlowTemperature', 'Flame']
Probably now you need to reboot your home assistant. And you will be able to use these sensors.
Hi Oleg, thanks for great guide! Will give it a try.
I have installed Portainer, had to turn off Protection mode (otherwise it would not start). Now I am stuck at the Registries view:
Could you please show how your Registries page looks like?
hm. now I have the same issue. Either portainer was updated or my trial period expiredā¦ Iāve never been working with portainer beforeā¦
Upd: it is strange that left side menu does not contain quite a lot of options when i open it on my phone (despite checking descrop mode) but on pc it contains everythingā¦
Well I managed to install Portainer at last. Still get an error āUnable to pull imageā when trying to Download ālukics/ebusd-3.3:armv7ā from docker.io 
Hi, for reference:
I also got it to work (Home assisant running on NUC image)
Installed Portainer (with the guide from above, thanks a lot!! @semenoh )
Only things I changed:
Hello everyone, I just started in home assistant.
Every intergration Iāve installed works. even the KNX.
but the ebusd canāt operate.
this is my device https://www.esera.de/shop/en/products/ebus/142/ebus-coupler-ethernet
I put this on and nothing goes

can you explain to me step by step what I have to do.
sorry for the English
Iām looking to accomplish the exact same thing. Did you manage to get it working?
Hey - Iāve just published a Add-on to run ebusd in Supervisor.
I used ebusdās native MQTT integration to send data to Home Assistant Core
Please check out the Thread here An ebusd add-on Iād really appreciate feedback!
A bit late to this thread butā¦ in case it helps someoneā¦ I got my ebusd implementation working by running this in a SSH session to install ebusd:
apk --repository=Index of /alpine/edge/community/ add ebusd
and then starting it using this command:
ebusd --scanconfig --mqtthost 192.168.1.91 --mqttport 1883 --mqttint=/etc/ebusd/mqtt-hassio.cfg --mqttjson --mqttuser username --mqttpass password
where username & password are a combination you have already defined in your HA portal. Also - change the IP address to whatever your HA is running on etc :). This should start ebusd and start throwing data into a MQTT queue (for which youāll need to install Mosquito via HACS as a prerequisite). HA has some sort of ādiscoveryā mode which allows sensor names to be created on-the-fly according to what ebusd finds. You should find these sensors start showing up in HA, under Settings-Devices. Sorry if the above is a bit cryptic but hope it helps someone. Good luck!
