If some of my stuff may be useful for others, why not share it.
I wanted a place to easily develop and test new features for home-assistant. I have installed hassio. So why not run test home-assistant there, where I already have my config etc.?
That’s why I’ve created add-on Simple Home Assistant Development Environment, or in short SHADE.
It’s still very basic. It’s still very experimental. It don’t even have a proper readme. But it’s already working. And I think the name is cool. Because shades are generally cooler than plain sunlight.
What it does is basically:
- checkout fork of home-assistant from user specified in config
- if you just specify it as
home-assistant
you can try out currentdev
, without waiting for new release!
- if you just specify it as
- copy your home-assistant config
- run home-assistant on your fork on port 8234
- oh, and it compiles coap-client for tradfri, as they’re my main planned field of work in home-assistant
- add ssh to easily change code and experiment
You can try it by adding my add-ons repository to your hass:
