    :iphone: Home Assistant for Apple platforms (by home-assistant)

  • home-assistant-google-assistant-local-sdk

    Google Assistant Local SDK implementation for Home Assistant

  • It’s implemented but it still requires an official Google Assistant smart home skill and a cloud connection to set-up. It works out of the box with Home Assistant Cloud.

    It’s kinda cool how it works, as your Google Home Mini will run our JS app and let it interact with Home Assistant. In the case of Home Assistant Cloud, all commands are just forwarded as-is as all processing is always local. You can see the source here https://github.com/NabuCasa/home-assistant-google-assistant-...

    Note, syncing local access, exposed devices and any command requiring 2FA still goes via the cloud.

  • architecture

    Repo to discuss Home Assistant architecture (by home-assistant)

  • It’s all clearly defined in ADR-007 https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/master/a...

    The TL;DR: Authentication for devices and services are via the UI only (to deal with OAuth2, refresh tokens, auto-updating IPs via mDNS). Automations/scripts/scenes are both YAML or UI.

  • NPushOver

    Discontinued Full fledged, async, .Net Pushover client

  • I use Pushover [1] for this use case with a couple of one-liner shell scripts. Since it's a stateless HTTP request, Shortcuts can also use it natively.

  • TextBelt

    Free API for outgoing SMS

  • I settled on https://textbelt.com/ since it was cheap, a curl one-liner to use and didn't require me to install something new on my phone.
