Home Assistant¶

Docker Compose¶

I run HA in a Docker container using Docker compose to enable the ease of updating via Renovate.

HAOS¶

I toyed around with moving to HAOS to make it easier to install and manage integratios, but I didn't like the command line.

Config¶

sudo ls -la /dev/serial/by-id

/dev/serial/by-id//dev/serial/by-id/usb-Nabu_Casa_SkyConnect_v1.0_8aaab0838e91ed1196c1c3d13b20a988-if00-port0

Notifications¶

I use several notification platforms to stay informed about my home's status.

• Mailrise: SMTP gateway for Apprise notifications.
• HTML5: Browser-based notifications.
• Alexa: Voice notifications via Echo devices.
