Pigpio Addon

Today I’m starting to bring up my addons also to the Home Assistant community forum. The first one is:

pigpio

Wraps the C control lib pigpio in a Home Assistant addon to allow an easy installation on a Home Assistant OS system.

Addon Stage Supports aarch64 Architecture Supports amd64 Architecture Supports armhf Architecture Supports armv7 Architecture Supports i386 Architecture

Normally pigpio needs to be installed on the Pi running Home Assistant to interact with the GPIO pins. When running Home Assistant with the Home Assistant OS this is not possible in an easy way. This addon changes this and makes a pigpio daemon available on port 8888. In combination with the gpio integrations the pins can now be controlled and read.

To the Addon: Hassio-Addons/pigpio at master · Poeschl/Hassio-Addons · GitHub
To the PWM integration (I only use this): pigpio Daemon PWM LED - Home Assistant

If issues occur please use the GitHub issue board, since I’m only on the community forum from time to time.
