Home Assistant

Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts.

Setting up

homeassistant_enabled: true

You will need to complete first-time setup through the server’s IP and Home Assistant’s port first: http://[your_server_ip]:8123. Once set up, you can configure the Home Assistant HTTP Plugin to enable access via reverse proxies (DNS): https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/http/#reverse-proxies

By default, Home Assistant can be accessed at http://[your_server_ip]:8123 or https://homeassistant.[your_domain].com if you have DNS access configured.

Configuration

Home Assistant can publish metrics to Prometheus for monitoring. To enable this integration, set prometheus_homeassistant_long_lived_access_token to a Home Assistant long lived access token.

# You'll need to create a long lived access token: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/auth_api/#long-lived-access-token
prometheus_homeassistant_long_lived_access_token: abcd

Be sure to check out the extensive list of Home Assistant Integrations to connect your other devices and services! Here is a nice link that will show all integrations sorted by number of installs: https://analytics.home-assistant.io/integrations/. Though remember that a lot of power comes from less popular integrations that may be more specific to your use case, such as gleaning power information from an integration with your local power company.

See the default configuration options for Home Assistant at roles/homeassistant/defaults/main.yml. Add any overrides to your inventories/[your_inventory]/group_vars/homelab.yml file.
