I’d love to have my addons fully install- and configureable via configuration files.
Currently there isn’t any easy way to do this. The only possibility I’ve found is to create a ha-cli script with the “ha addons” subcommand.
I’ve already asked about this on Reddit and Discord, but there doesn’t seem to be a solution. Someone mentioned the .storage/core.config_entries file or the possibility to do a backup/restore, but this doesn’t seem like a good solution.
when i started the home automations voyage, i instantly fell in love with HA idea of configuring everything via YAML:
easy to read
copy–paste, modify, test, repeat – flow of working
version control with git
I’m surprised that so many things are actually hidden behind GUI, which makes the flow so much slower, is buggy a lot of times, cannot be easily shared, copy–pasted, etc.
