**Pixoo REST** is a Home Assistant add-on (fork of [4ch1m/pixoo-rest](https://github.com/4ch1m/pixoo-rest)) that lets you control a Divoom Pixoo64 from Home Assistant — draw images, GIFs, text, set brightness/channel, etc.
### Why this fork exists
Divoom changed the Pixoo's built-in HTTP endpoint at some point (`/post`, `/get` → `/divoom_api`), which broke the original library/REST wrapper for anyone on newer firmware. This fork fixes that, and adds:
- **Packaging as a proper Home Assistant add-on** — install straight from the Add-on Store, no manual Docker setup.
- **A native Home Assistant integration** (`custom_components/pixoo_rest`), installed automatically by the add-on. No more hand-writing `rest_command:` YAML — just add it from **Settings → Devices & Services** and get ready-to-use Actions like `pixoo_rest.draw_image_from_url`, `pixoo_rest.set_brightness`, etc.
- Still keeps the original project's built-in Swagger/ReDoc UI and pass-through endpoints for anything not covered by a dedicated Action.
### Install
1. Settings → Add-ons → Add-on Store → ⋮ → Repositories → add `https://github.com/sheha316/pixoo-rest`
2. Install **Pixoo REST**, set your Pixoo's IP in the config, start it.
3. Restart Home Assistant when prompted, then add the **Pixoo REST** integration from Settings → Devices & Services.

Feedback and issues welcome — this is actively maintained and I use it daily with my own Pixoo64.
Your formatting here is a bit off.
If you are copying directly from an LLM please at least fix the formatting.
Suggestions:
Also It is a fork but from you it is a new release (as a fork). That would suggest that you should recognize that Add-ons no longer exist, and they are called Apps now.
In addition things like this in your Github installation section of your readme no longer work. If you leave them new users will be contacting you that they can’t find these links.
Home Assistant Add-on
This repo can also be installed as a native Home Assistant add-on (tested on Home Assistant OS):
- In Home Assistant, go to Settings → Add-ons → Add-on Store.
