[proxmoxve] Getting legacy integration to bronze

Development
1

I’ve been using the proxmoxve integration for a long time, but it’s not very useful. It used to show only if a device was still running.

I saw this was a “legacy” integration and needs to be configured through yaml.
Tried contacting the code-owners, no response. Decided it was time to fix it myself.

It’s configureable through the UI and exposes 5 entities for each VM. You can still see if it’s running, you can also see if the agent is running (which is an important detail), cpu usage and memory usage also added. And the best thing, you can send commands to “reset” or “shutdown” a container.:white_check_mark:

I’m however totally new to python development and the mypy task gives some “errors” that I have no clue how to fix.

Then I found Checklist | Home Assistant Developer Docs and I have no clue where to get started and could use some help. :grey_question:

Initial version work can be found in svrooij/home-assistant-core at feature/proxmox :man_technologist:

Hi, I am currently using this one, and it’s been serving me very well. Will check back later if you you have something interesting cooking that I can use.

That one looks cool as well, no clue why it’s not integrated into home assistant as a replacement of the current “legacy” one.

That probably had me stopped from rolling my own

I also started to change the official integration to configure the config flow and allow me to implement more features, but I came across two issues that affected me: the level required by the maintainers was well above my knowledge and the PR review process was so long that it didn’t evolve.

So I decided to use my code as a custom integration. A lot of things evolved and were added to the code, and today I don’t try to include the changes in the core because many features and sensors are not accepted as they are.

It has been working well and we have a base of 3.8k users (considering only those who activate the Home Assistant analysis statistics).

Who knows, maybe one day we’ll be able to modernize the integration code in the core.
