A macropad interface for Home Assistant using the Pimoroni Keybow
First, provision the device. Flash raspios and ensure ssh and WiFi access are enabled.
This can be done by writing a blank ssh file and a wpa_supplicant.conf file to the BOOT mount.
Once you are able to login to the device, perform some basic setup to set the hostname and enable SPI:
sudo raspi-config nonint do_hostname hasspad
sudo raspi-config nonint do_spi 1
sudo reboot
Install docker and docker-compose:
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker pi
sudo apt-get install -y libffi-dev libssl-dev python3 python3-pip
sudo pip3 install docker-compose
The last thing you need to do is provision a config file. You can see the example-config.yml file at the root of this repository. Copy it and the docker-compose.yml file to the directory where you want to run the code, and run docker-compose up. You may need to modify docker-compose.yml with the correct bind path to your config file.
You can also just install the binary using pip install hasspad. To ensure it runs persistently across network issues and errors, you'll likely also want to write a systemd file.
