About

This is the repository containing all my Appdaemon apps.

Used together with my Homeassistant config which you can find here:

https://github.com/eifinger/homeassistant-config

I use Appdaemon for all my automations since I am a programmer myself and it provides me with all the possibilities of the Python world and a far better debugging experience than HA Automations or nodered.

No longer actively maintained

I no longer use appdaemon for my automations and switched over to automations completely:

How to contribute

Just open an Issue or a Pull Request for any Comments, Questions, etc.

Or you can message me on twitter : @eifinger

How to use

If you have never used Appdaemon before I suggest you start with the tutorial and the guide. Both contain more links to great tutorials and examples.

I tried to write each App in this repository with reusability in mind. This means that every app in here has a short documentation and is (if possible) written to be easily adjusted to your environment and your needs.

app_switch

Every App has an input_boolean inside HA which turns it on/off. This is useful if I don't want any notifications right now or an App is misbehaving.

App list

AlexaIntents

Are explained here

AlexaSpeakerConnector

App to Turn on Receiver Bluetooth when Alexa is playing something so it plays on the big speakers. Uses a custom_component for control alexa as a media player.

COMING SOON

travel_time

Monitors my Travel Time Sensors e.g. between home and work. I can enable an input_boolean in HA which causes this App to send me a notication as soon as the traffic is in an acceptable range. I use this drive to/from work when there is the least traffic.

travelTime_home_from_work:
  module: travelTimeNotifier
  class: TravelTimeNotifier
  sensor: sensor.travel_time_home_from_work
  notify_input_boolean: input_boolean.travel_time_home_from_work
  notify_name: group_notifications
  message: "Du kannst losfahren nach {}"
  #message: "You can start your journey to {}"

travelTimeNotifier

heartbeat

Sets a sensor in Homeassistant which is checked by an automation. The automation sends out a notification if appdaemon does not respond.

homeArrivalNotifier

Greet the person coming home with a notification

homeArrivalNotifierUserOne:
  module: homeArrivalNotifier
  class: HomeArrivalNotifier
  app_switch: input_boolean.home_arrival_notifier_user_one
  input_boolean: input_boolean.user_one_home
  notify_name: group_notifications
  user_name: Kevin
  zone_name: Home
  message: "Willkommen zu Hause {}."
  #message: "Welcome Home {}."

isHomeDeterminer

Controls an input_boolean "isHome" which is used as a trigger for other Apps. The state depends on other input_booleans controlled by the isUserHomeDeterminer

isHomeDeterminer:
  module: isHomeDeterminer
  class: IsHomeDeterminer
  app_switch: input_boolean.is_home_determiner
  ishome: input_boolean.is_home
  input_booleans: input_boolean.user_one_home,input_boolean.user_two_home

  #message: "Everyone left home. Setting isHome to off"

isUserHomeDeterminer

The GPS Logger tells me where someone is. But I want to know for sure who just came in the door. App to toggle an input boolean when a person enters or leaves home. This is determined based on a combination of a GPS device tracker and the door sensor.

isUserHomeDeterminerUserOne:
  module: isUserHomeDeterminer
  class: IsUserHomeDeterminer
  app_switch: input_boolean.is_user_home_determiner_user_one
  input_boolean: input_boolean.user_one_home

  door_sensor: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d000126a57b

  after_sundown: True
  turn_off_constraint_entities_on: binary_sensor.0x00158d0001fa464b_occupancy
  delay: 300

newWifiDeviceNotify

Actually a wrong name. This will send me a notification when any device_tracker component detects a new device. I initally thought to use this as a security feature but found it quite useful when adding new Sonoff switches and such. I get a notification if the setup was successfull.

Version 1.2: Displays two buttons which let me control the internet access for the new device. The configured fritzbox standard profile denies internet access. With this I can easily allow my guests access to the internet without logging in to my fritzbox manually.

newWifiDeviceNotify:
  module: newWifiDeviceNotify
  class: DeviceNotify
  notify_name: group_notifications
  message: "Unbekanntes Gerät entdeckt. Hostname: {}. MAC: {}."
  #message: "Unknown device connected. Hostname: {}. MAC: {}"

Thanks

First of all thanks to the Homeassistant Team and Andrew Cockburn for making Appdaemon

Some of the Apps are taken from the official examples and many based on or at least inspired by Rene Tode. For example his absolutely fantastic Alexa-Appdaemon-App.
