Home Assistant Gentoo Overlay
https://www.home-assistant.io/
"Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server."
This was fork of https://cgit.gentoo.org/user/lmiphay.git/tree/app-misc/homeassistant-bin which seemed unmaintained to me, at first I just wanted to compile it for my personal use. Some friends told me they wanted to use/see it, so i putted it on my gitea, and was caught by surprise of several hundred pageviews in the very first days. But it's not perfect, the following libs are still installed in "site-packages", because i couldn't get them to work, include or compile in Portage so far, any help is appreciated:
- caldav-0.5.0
- maxcube
- warrant-0.6.1
Most of my devices are connected via Mosquitto. Along MQTT i am actively using (and therefore testing) the following platforms/components:
- Samsung (currently not working anymore due to Samsungs newest firmware 'improvements', had to switch to "ping" for status detection)
- Sonoff/Tasmota (mostly via MQTT) (https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota)
- a bunch of OneWire and I2C Sensors (mostly all via MQTT) and
- ESPEasy (https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/ESPEasy)
- some more HC-SR501 PIR Sensors (via ESPEasy, Tasmota & MQTT)
- Yamaha RXV (4 devices)
- Tradfri (4 devices now, can't wait for their shutters to arrive in early 2019)
- Sonos (had many, sold most of them, because they destroyed a formerly very cool gui, only two boxes left)
- Calendar (connected to a locally run ownCloud, OC not in this Repository) (https://owncloud.org/)
- Kodi on Raspberry (3, all with OSMC) (https://osmc.tv/download/)
- Enigma2 on Dreambox (2 left) (http://wiki.blue-panel.com/index.php/Enigma2)
- Hyperion with APA102 (very cool stuff) (https://hyperion-project.org/)
- EQ3-Max! (i accendently bought some, so i have to use them until they die, 8 devices and a cube)
- Axis Camera (1, more to come)
- yr.no weather (best reliable forecast you can get for low money) (https://www.yr.no/)

Installation is pretty easy:
First add the Overlay to /etc/portage/repos.conf/homeassistant.conf:
[HomeAssistantRepository]
location = /usr/portage/homeassistant
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://git.in.edevau.net/onkelbeh/HomeAssistantRepository.git
auto-sync = yes
sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no
Sync it and install it
# emerge --sync
# emerge -tav app-misc/homeassistant
Let me know if any initial depencies are missing. Additional information can be found at (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf)
Todos
- Add more libraries:
- warrant-0.6.1 (still does not compile)
- caldav-0.5.0 (also refuses to compile at my box)
- and other frequently used modules i currently do not use
- Find out why
SRC_URI="mirror://pypi/${P:0:1}/${PN}/${P}.tar.gz"is not working in some cases and fix it in:- rxv
- user-agents
- ifaddr
- libusb1
- adb-homeassistant
- firetv
- envs
- Add a mechanism for automatically check the
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/dev/requirements_all.txtagainst this repo. - Write an installation page for the home-assistant.io Documentation an get it added.
- Convince more people to not run Home Assistant with Docker (see https://xkcd.com/1988/)
- If it moves, compile it :-)
some Background...
I decided to run Home Assistant on a dedicated box, now Home Assistant is running in a virtual X64 here. I assigned 4GB RAM, 4 Cores of an older Xeon E5-2630 v2 @ 2.60GHz and 10GB Disk from a small FC SAN (HP MSA) to it. Recorder writes to a separate mariadb machine (530 MB today). Main broker is mosquitto-1.5.3, no inside SSL.
I have no Google, Amazon or Apple involved in my privacy (at least in this case), neither am I planning to do so.
- Tried to get all Python installed systemwide under Gentoo's package management and keeping "/etc/homeassistant/deps" as small as possible.
- Be aware that all dependent libraries as marked as stable here as soon as they compile and run some minutes within my local box. Further (ouside HA) dependencies execpt portage are not tested!
- Since i use Gentoo mostly on servers i do not use systemd. I prefer an own profile based on "amd64/17.0/no-multilib", with python-3.6.5 set as default target.
