Some HACS plugins that I feel should be added to Integrations

Battery Notes: I love the way it monitors my battery levels but also shows what type of battery and how many, also giving me the opportunity to tell it when I changed the battery. This allows me to review it later and see when I last changed the battery.

Circadian Lighting: Based on location and sun, it knows where the sun’s position and adjustment the internal settings for different white color balances. In the automation, it can be set to a Color called Circadian and HA will automatically update any lights that is set to that color.

Alarm: This will be an Alexa killer. Even though I set my phone alarm, it is nice having a second system that wakes me up as well. I should be able to ask Assist or any Voice Assistant to set an alarm. If there is a way for one to ask for an alarm wakeup on a specific device or multiple devices, it will add that item as an entity. Also, with calendar, someone who works different hours every day, not set to a specific time, they can enter the item in Calendar and HA, with some automation tweaking, can set the alarm accordingly.

One instance, Shango (my voice assistant wake-up call), set alarm for five A M tomorrow morning.
Second instance, create a new calendar item. I add my work times in the calendar. Like on Monday, I start at 9AM. Nothing on Tuesday if I am off on Tuesday. Wednesday, I add 10:30 AM. I basically add my schedule to the calendar. In automation, I will set a trigger to look for any calendar entries four hours in advance. I then set the alarm integration for wake up at those times. On Monday, it will wake me up at 5AM. Wednesday, 6:30AM.
Third instance, I set an alarm for 6AM every weekday morning, or for certain days for those who work Sun-Thurs.

I understand that this can be set in automation, but it will be cool if I can just tell Shango (my voice assistance call word) to set an alarm or say, “Shango, I am off tomorrow. Do not wake me up.”

Just some ideas I would love to see included into HA directly. All of the above, I am using and works great. The only thing is the alarm triggering via voice assistant. Keep in mind, these ideas are coming from an intermediate user. Imagine a brand-new user, HA is getting easier every month. I love how HA is easy to use, yet able to do more complex advance stuff if I apply myself into figuring out how to do something. Keep up the good work HA Team. :smiley:

Hi Antonio Edward,

HACS is a custom integration that is a loader for software that is created by software authors on GitHub that want to make their stuff more accessible, but don’t want to (or for one reason or another cannot) do the more involved work of getting their integration or whatever into HA Core.
HACS doesn’t have plugins or add-ons, it is a loader Custom Integration.

The Feature Request category is for asking for features for HA core only.

If you want Custom Integration Authors to get their stuff installed into Core, you need to contact them. This post will not do anything.

Read the Pinned Post if you want to know more about Feature Requests.
