@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ I am running my productive box with Python 3.7, no Python 3.6 anymore. Anyway, i
Once this was a fork of `https://cgit.gentoo.org/user/lmiphay.git/tree/app-misc/homeassistant-bin`, which seemed unmaintained to me. First I just wanted to compile it for my personal use. This happed at 0.77 in September 2018. Some friends told me they wanted to use/see it, so I placed it on my public git server, and was caught by surprise of several hundred page views in the very first days. I'll do my best to keep it close to the official releases, might get slower during summers. After 3 months it had ~170 ebuilds, now (Nov 2019) > 1599 ebuilds in > 830 packages are on file. As long as I certainly do not count automatically consolidated collections, this Overlay has grown to one of the largest [Gentoo Repos](https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/repos/) during the last year.
## Nearly all Home Assistant Components are now included
Except some modules with uncorrectable errors (e.g. hard drive crashes, lost sources or some other unbelievable mess) nearly all possible integrations for Home Assistant and their stated dependencies are included as ebuilds, based on the *most accurate* integrations list from `/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/homeassistant/components/*/manifest.json`. Many fixed dependencies (necessary or not) to old releases forbid installation of packages requiring newer ones, but I filed all dependencies strict as they have been declared in `setup.py` or `requirements.txt` (sometimes other sources) anyway. The exception proves the rule. I will expand/continue my tests during winter holidays, and do some more cleanups. Perhaps Gentoo's Python guys either will bring some more code to 3.7.

## Authors welcome
If you are author of an integration / component or other stuff related to Home Assistant and you want your stuff added, please file a pull request, or just drop me a note. For adding a component, I need a release file in tar.gz or zip format. Tagged releases on Github are OK, but a Pypi `sdist` tar.gz source release would be preferred, because I can automatically merge it and it will use Gentoo's mirror system. Most of the integrations/components do both. I cannot add packages only available in wheels format. And make sure you have a proper license assigned, selected license should be unique on all platforms (Pypi/Github/Sourceforge).

It will make things easier if you take the example files from `/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/99_homeassistant` and `/etc/portage/package.use/60_homeassistant` and copy it to your `/etc/portage`, a lot of main repo's unstable ebuilds are needed, because some of the stable versions do *not* support Python 3.7.

## Installation on Python 3.6 (deprecated)
Installation is pretty easy, but it won't help. You have to run it on 3.7. I remove this part 01/2020. If you really want to do this, scroll back in time, it's a git :-)

## Problems
Please let me know if any initial dependencies are missing, since I use only some of the components myself. From time to time a fresh compile test on an empty box is run to catch general faults, last good (full) compile test was December 2019 with `v0.102.3`.

## experiments are in progress:
* grafana with influxdb, have to use it at work in 2020, so I have to get used to it anyway, fits much better for irregular measurements than Cacti/RRD.
* grafana with influxdb, will have to use it at work soon and have to get used to it anyway, fits much better for irregular measurements than Cacti/RRD.
* remote IOS authentication with [haproxy](https://www.haproxy.org) and client certificates.
## some Background...
I have Home Assistant running on a virtual X64 box, 4GB RAM, 3 Cores of an older Xeon E5-2630 v2 @ 2.60GHz and 30GB Disk from a small FC SAN (HP MSA). Recorder writes to a local mariadb socket, moved this from my 'big' mariadb machine because of some performance issues. currently 10.2.29 without problems. Influxdb and Graphana are also on the same box.

Some of my devices are still connected via Eclipse Mosquitto (https://mosquitto.org/), I use the stable version coming with the original distribution (1.6.8), no SSL inside my isolated IOT Vlan, so no need to upgrade. Along MQTT I am actively using (and therefore testing) the following platforms/components:
* some (~9) Z-Wave devices, mostly Fibaro Roller Shutter 3 with a ZMEEUZB1 Stick connected to my VM with ser2net, socat & OpenZWave. I would not buy the Fibaro stuff again, because of their weird firmware policy. You need to have their expensive gateway to make an update. The cheap chinese stuff would do it better.
