Example - Community Hass.io Add-on for Home Assistant

Community Hass.io Add-ons: Example

Example add-on by Community Hass.io add-ons.

About

This is an example add-on for Hass.io. When started, it displays a random quote every 5 seconds.

It shows off several features and structures like:

• Full blown GitHub repository.
• General Dockerfile structure and setup.
• The use of the config.json and build.json files.
• General shell scripting structure (run.sh).
• Quality assurance using CodeClimate.
• Continuous integration and deployment using CircleCI.
• Usage of the Community Hass.io Add-ons build environment.
• Small use of the Bash function library in our base images.
• The use of Docker label schema.

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.

1. Add our Hass.io add-ons repository to your Hass.io instance.
2. Install the "Example" add-on
3. Start the "Example" add-on
4. Check the logs of the "Example" add-on to see it in action.

NOTE: Do not add this repository to Hass.io, please use: https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository.

Configuration

Eventought this add-on is just an example add-on, it does come with some configuration options to play around with.

Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.

Example add-on configuration:

{
  "log_level": "info",
  "seconds_between_quotes": 5
}

Option: log_level

The log_level option controls the level of log output by the addon and can be changed to be more or less verbose, which might be useful when you are dealing with an unknown issue. Possible values are:

• trace: Show every detail, like all called internal functions.
• debug: Shows detailed debug information.
• info: Normal (usually) interesting events.
• warning: Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.
• error: Runtime errors that do not require immediate action.
• fatal: Something went terribly wrong. Add-on becomes unusable.

Please note that each level automatically includes log messages from a more severe level, e.g., debug also shows info messages. By default, the log_level is set to info, which is the recommended setting unless you are troubleshooting.

Option: seconds_between_quotes

Sets the number of seconds between the output of each quote. The value must be between 1 and 120 seconds. This value is set to 5 seconds by default.

Changelog & Releases

This repository keeps a change log using GitHub's releases functionality. The format of the log is based on Keep a Changelog.

Releases are based on Semantic Versioning, and use the format of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. In a nutshell, the version will be incremented based on the following:

• MAJOR: Incompatible or major changes.
• MINOR: Backwards-compatible new features and enhancements.
• PATCH: Backwards-compatible bugfixes and package updates.
