My Home Assistant Configuration

This Repo is designed for Smart Home inspiration. The configuration, devices and layout should help inspire you to jump head first into the IOT world. This is the live working configuration of my Smart Home. Use the menu links to jump between sections. All of the code is free to use and contribute to. This readme is based on the great documentation of CCOSTAN

This repository is a companion to my appdeamon-scripts where all my automations are.

Notable Software making up my Smart Home System:

• Docker - Docker runs on a Ubuntu Server compose file at the bottom
• Home Assistant Container - It all starts here
• DDNS via Strato
• SSL via letsencrypt - Support a more secure and privacy-respecting Web
• Indoor positioning with find3 - Machine Learning tells your phone location without any other hardware
• MQTT Broker mosquitto-docker
• Face Recognition Container - Forked from JanLoebel
• MySQL Docker
• Appdaemon - See my Appdaemon scripts here
• HAASKA Haaska-repo - Alexa Smarthome V3 API for all your HA devices
• Tasmota Tasmota-repo - Custom Firmware for ESP8266 devices offering MQTT and much more.
• Raspberry Pi running PiHole - DNS Server and AdBlocker
• hassalarm - link my android alarms to HA

Networking / Server
AVM FRITZ!Box 7490	Ubiquiti Networks UAP-AC-PRO	Ubiquiti USG	HP Microserver Gen10
Using a Fritzbox as this is one of the official supported modems for Telekom. The rest is running on Ubiquiti. Rock solid and fun to use. As a server running Homeassistant and everything else I use a HP Microserver Gen 10. Click on the sections to expand them Notify if an unkown device is found on the network Appdaemon App - newWifiDeviceNotify Allow a device internet access via Telegram Bot (Fritzbox only) Appdaemon App - newWifiDeviceNotify
Alexa Echo Devices
Amazon Echo DOT
The Alexa devices in my house are for automation overrides. They are primarily an input device into Home Assistant. Using haaska, I am able to turn on /off most HA devices even if they don't have native Alexa support. I use them for Multiroom Audio and some custom skills. Click on the sections to expand them Alexa tell Homeassistant to turn off Ventilator in 10 Minutes Appdaemon App - turnEntityOffInX Alexa ask Home Assistant whether all windows are closed Appdaemon App - windowsOpen Alexa ask Home Assistant when the next bus departs Appdaemon App - nextBusIntent Turn on Receiver Bluetooth when Alexa is playing something so it plays on the big speakers. Appdaemon App - alexaSpeakerConnector
Voice Notifications - Appdaemon App - Notifier
Denon AVRX1300W		TP-Link Smart Plug
I am using the great Alexa TTS Component by keatontaylor to let Alexa notify me of everything when I am home. Click on the sections to expand them Voice announcements whenever someone comes home. Appdaemon App - homeArrivalNotifier Notify if a user is leaving a zone after being there for a certain amount of time. Appdaemon App - leavingZoneNotifier Once you can teach your house to talk, you just keep expanding on it's vocabulary. It's addicting. :)
Various Hubs
Xiaomi Mi Smart Home Hub	RM Mini3 by Broadlink	RM Pro by Broadlink
The Hubs help the home communicate across all the various protocols running in the house. Most of my sensors are Xiaomi Sensors running over 1 gateway. I use the RM hubs to control non smart TVs and Receivers as well as my canopy via 433MHZ.
Lights
Xiaomi Yeelight		Magichome RGB LED Controller
Almost all of my lights are Xiaomi Yeelight Color bulbs. Before I started using them I used SonOffs with Tasmota and I stil do. You will find them in the switches section. I have one lightstrip under my bar table controlled by a MagicHome LED Controller also running Tasmota. Click on the sections to expand them Turn Bar Red when Homeassistant goes offline As I sometimes restart HA when working on it from remote I turn the Bar lights to red with [this script](https://github.com/eifinger/homeassistant-config/blob/master/updateHomeassistant.sh). This way everyone can see HA is currently unavailable. If it comes back up again this
Switches
Sonoff S20	Sonoff Basic	Teckin Smart Plug	TP-Link Smart Plug
Before I used smart bulbs I bought SonOff switches because they are much cheaper than a $20 bulb and put them in front of "normal" bulbs. I use 2 S20 to control lightstrips. Click on the sections to expand them Notify me when the dishwasher starts/stops Appdaemon App - powerUsageNotification
Cameras
Android IP Webcam
I currently only use old Anroid Smartphones as IP Cameras. Click on the sections to expand them Selflearning Facerecognition for the Frontdoor AppDaemon App - faceRecognitionBot
TV Streaming
Amazon Fire TV Stick
Just the usual things for Netflix
Sensors
Xiaomi Motion Sensor	Xiaomi Door/Window Sensor	Xiaomi Temperature Sensor	Sonoff Sensor AM2301
All of my windows have Xiaomi Contact Sensors and my Terrace Doors have two so I can distinguish between open and tilted. I have several Motion Sensors which I use for presence detection and light control. To get a good overview of the temperature distribution I use Xiaomi temperature sensors where I don't already have Sonoff TH16s. Click on the sections to expand them Turn on light when sun is down and motion detected AppDaemon App - motionTrigger AppDaemon App - bedroommotionTrigger Alexa ask Home Assistant whether all windows are closed Appdaemon App - windowsOpen Know the exact moment when someone leaves or comes home Appdaemon App - isUserHomeDeterminer
Climate
Decdeal WIFI Thermostat
I am using a custom_component for Broadlink Thermostats which works perfectly. Click on the sections to expand them Turn on floor heating for 1 hour before wake up AppDaemon App - setThermostat
