Newbie ? how does HADashboard and Appdaemon relate?

Third party integrations HADashboard
1

Started playing around with HADashboard (already familiar with appdaemon), looking at source code, perusing documentation, etc.

What is the “relationship” between HADashboard and AppDaemon? I see .dash files, yaml for widgets and yaml for panels in the Appdaemon folders. And then similar stuff over in HADashboard.

This feels like a stupid question, but how do those two interact/work together?

Thanks!

AppDaemon does both (HADashboard used to be separate but is now a “marketing name” for something else that AppDaemon does) - the 2 functions don’t necessarily interact although I am adding the ability to have them work more closely together.

Figured it out; should have read the DASHBOARD.md instructions :blush:. Additionally, I was using the system appdaemon instead of the virualenv appdaemon.

I really need to make the switch to Docker.

Thanks!
