If you have customized your installation you already use this functionality. The content of your folder www in your Home Assistant configuration directory (.homeassistant) is available under /local (eg. https://localhost:8123/local).

+ +

But there is more you can do! You can not only host images for customization there but HTML files or even web applications including CSS and Javascript.

+ +

In the past the buzz word “Smart mirror” was used a couple of times in our chatroom and even made it into the issue tracker. The existing solutions (Smart mirror, MagicMirror, and HomeMirror) seems to be overkill if you already have Home Assistant running somewhere in your house or apartment. Why not simple display a web page served by Home Assistant on the tablet? No app and no Raspberry Pi running in the background.

+ +

There are plenty of ways to achieve this…RESTful API, Python API, or one of the history components. If it is to be a web page I’m using the MQTT Eventstream component and mqttws31.js.

+ +

The HBMQTT broker provides websockets support for MQTT and mqttws31.js included in web page gives you access to the MQTT messages. It’s a matter of minutes. OK, it took a little longer because I’m not a Javascript guy to create the software part that will show details about your environment. The source is available at https://github.com/fabaff/home-assistant-display and the screenshot above shows the result. I guess that every person who is familiar with Javascript would be able to reduce the amount of code and to make it more flexible. Well, it’s a only prototype and showcase to include an image in this blog post.

+ +

I hope that this little article could give you an idea of extending Home Assistant in an unconventional way.

Now 30 people have participated. Thank you very much if you did. We think that’s enough time to have some “only partially representative” data. It’s hard to tell how many Home Assistant users are out there. Currently there are 215 members in our Gitter chat room and last week PyPI counted 5063 downloads.

- -

The idea was to anonymously collect some details about the usage of the different parts of Home Assistant and a little bit about the environment its running in.

- - -

Thanks to Python, users are running Home Assistant on the most popular Linux distributions and other operating systems including OS X and Microsoft Windows. One quarter of the operating systems are unknown which leads to the assumption that it is possible to run Home Assistant on most of the available operation systems today. We hope that *BSD users have fun too. The Hardware platform of choice seems to be x86_64 and ARM.

- -

Of course most users are running with the automation component otherwise it would make much sense to use Home Assistant. The sun component is used a lot too. We hope that this is not because this component is enabled by default.

- -

The Alarm control panels and the camera component are both used by around one third of the participants of the survey. It’s safe to say that they cover a niche, but they will gain momentum when people discover how they can build alarm systems with Home Assistant.

- -

Philips Hue is the “winner” in the light category closely followed by MQTT lights. Google Cast and Plex are the top media player platforms. Pushbullet is by far the most-used notification platform. If you followed the recent efforts to improve this platform it’s comprehensible.

- -

It’s interesting to see that most of the sensor, switch, and thermostat platforms are used. A lot of people seem to be interested in the weather data provided by the Forecast sensor. The MQTT sensors and switches are deployed in almost 50% of all Home Assistant setups.

The conclusion is that MQTT is popular in almost every section from Alarm Control Panel, presence detection with owntracks, sensors and switches, and now even for lights.

The interpretation of the data is up to you. Again, thanks for participating in this survey.

    The frontend of Home Assistant is served with the help of a local web server. If you have customized your installation you already use this functionality. The content of your folder www in your Home Assistant configuration directory (.homeassistant) is available under /local (eg. https://localhost:8123/local).

    + +

    But there is more you can do! You can not only host images for customization there but HTML files or even web applications including CSS and Javascript.

    + +

    + +

    + + + +

    In the past the buzz word “Smart mirror” was used a couple of times in our chatroom and even made it into the issue tracker. The existing solutions (Smart mirror, MagicMirror, and HomeMirror) seems to be overkill if you already have Home Assistant running somewhere in your house or apartment. Why not simple display a web page served by Home Assistant on the tablet? No app and no Raspberry Pi running in the background.

    + +

    There are plenty of ways to achieve this…RESTful API, Python API, or one of the history components. If it is to be a web page I’m using the MQTT Eventstream component and mqttws31.js.

    + +

    The HBMQTT broker provides websockets support for MQTT and mqttws31.js included in web page gives you access to the MQTT messages. It’s a matter of minutes. OK, it took a little longer because I’m not a Javascript guy to create the software part that will show details about your environment. The source is available at https://github.com/fabaff/home-assistant-display and the screenshot above shows the result. I guess that every person who is familiar with Javascript would be able to reduce the amount of code and to make it more flexible. Well, it’s a only prototype and showcase to include an image in this blog post.

    + +

    I hope that this little article could give you an idea of extending Home Assistant in an unconventional way.

    -The InfluxDB database is a so-called time series database primarly designed to store sensor data and real-time analytics.

    - -

    The influxdb component makes it possible to transfer all state changes from Home Assistant to an external InfluxDB database.

    - - - -

    The first step is to install the InfluxDB packages. If you are not running Fedora, check the installation section for further details.

    - -
    - 
    $ sudo dnf -y install http://influxdb.s3.amazonaws.com/influxdb-0.9.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm
-
    -
    -
    - -

    Launch the InfluxDB service.

    - -
    - 
    $ sudo systemctl start influxdb
-
    -
    -
    - -

    If everything went well, then the web interface of the database should be accessible at http://localhost:8083/. Create a database home_assistant to use with Home Assistant either with the web interface or the commandline tool influx.

    - -

    - - InfluxDB web frontend -

    - -
    - 
    $ influx
-Visit https://enterprise.influxdata.com to register for updates, InfluxDB server management, and monitoring.
-Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 0.9.5.1
-InfluxDB shell 0.9.5.1
-> CREATE DATABASE home_assistant
-
    -
    -
    - -

    An optional step is to create a user. Keep in mind to adjust the configuration (add username and password) in the next step if you prefer to go this way.

    - -
    - 
    > CREATE USER "home-assistant" WITH PASSWORD 'password'
-
    -
    -
    - -

    To use the influxdb component in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

    - -
    - 
    influxdb:
-  host: 127.0.0.1
-
    -
    -
    - -

    After you restart Home Assistant you should see that the InfluxDB database gets filled. The language to query the database is similar to SQL.

    - -
    - 
    $ influx
-[...]
-> USE home_assistant
-Using database home_assistant

    Grafana is a dashboard that can create graphs from different sources including InfluxDB. The installation is simple, and there are detailed steps for many different configurations on the Grafana installation page. For a recent system that is running Fedora:

    - -
    - 
    $ sudo dnf -y install https://grafanarel.s3.amazonaws.com/builds/grafana-2.5.0-1.x86_64.rpm
-
    -
    -
    - -

    Start the grafana server.

    - -
    - 
    $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-$ sudo systemctl start grafana-server
-$ sudo systemctl status grafana-server
-
    -
    -
    - -

    Login with the username admin and the password admin at http://localhost:3000/login. Now follow the InfluxDB setup instructions.

    - -

    Now you can start to create dashboards and graphs. You have various options to get the data from the graph. The next image just shows a screenshot of the setting for a temperature sensor.

    - -

    - - Grafana settings -

    - -

    If the graph is not showing up in the dashboard you need to adjust the time range in the right upper corner. The graph is created for all state changes recorded by Home Assistant.

    The frontend of Home Assistant is served with the help of a local web server. If you have customized your installation you already use this functionality. The content of your folder www in your Home Assistant configuration directory (.homeassistant) is available under /local (eg. https://localhost:8123/local).

    + +

    But there is more you can do! You can not only host images for customization there but HTML files or even web applications including CSS and Javascript.

    Another sprint has come to an end and it seems that we have not slowed down a single bit 🚀. 0.12 is full of new components, platforms and organizational additions.

    - -

    I would like to give a shout out to Greg Dowling (@pavoni) as every release includes new work from him. He is constantly adding support for new platforms or improving the reliablity of existing components and platforms. Keep up the good work!

    - -

    This release includes a very frequent requested feature: the ability to organize entities in different tabs in the frontend. See the demo to see this in action and read more in the group documentation how to get started.
