TidbytAssistant: a HomeAssistant integration for your Tidbyt

This is for all 5 of you that own one of these, I made an integration/add-on for HomeAssistant that allows you to push apps and notifications to your Tidbyt device. Check it out on GitHub:

This is great. After an initial tough go at getting the add-on to install (It crashed my Home Assistant Green :upside_down_face: but tried again a few days later right after a fresh reboot and everythingworked), I was able to publish some text to the display. Yay!

Is there a way that this could be used to toggle on and off apps, like can do within the Tidbyt app? I’d love to be able to do app scheduling and control it in home assistant rather than the Tidbyt app, or be able to do things like use the existing home assistant entity app but have it be turned on / published only when certain conditions are met.

Didn’t see this until now but yes it supports publishing and deleting apps meaning you can add apps to the rotation when you want and then delete them when you don’t want them.

My apologies, I didn’t word this well. I mean to mute and unmute and pin community and built-in apps like you can in the tidbit app, beyond what’s built into the add-on and integration.

Yes you can do this by creating a tidbyt folder inside your HA config folder, placing your apps inside there inside its own named folder (ie an app named MyApp should be inside config/tidbyt/MyApp/MyApp.star) then using the Tidbyt Push service to push the app. Check the readme on the page, it will tell you how to do it.
