Integration Alternatives

integration reviews and mentions

• An example of HACS: Adaptive Lighting
  3 projects | dev.to | 26 Dec 2024

  Before implementing your integration, you should know about Home Assistant Community Store or HACS. HACS is a third-party integration store. If Home Assistant doesn't offer the necessary integration, there's a considerable chance somebody published it on HACS.

• Thoughts, learnings and regrets after three years on Home Assistant

  I have HACS[0] installed in my Docker image, I use it for exactly one integration and the initial setup seemed a little dodgy but it's been pain-free for a couple of years now.

• Is there a way to see actual print time after a print is done?

• MyQ now free? Possibly included with premium connectivity?
  2 projects | /r/teslamotors | 23 Jun 2023

  Yeah! So first, get HACS if you don’t already have it (https://hacs.xyz), then the custom Tesla integration (https://github.com/alandtse/tesla) - side note: you’ll need to be able to get a refresh token for your account (iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/auth-app-for-tesla/id1552058613)… once you have the integration setup, create an automation. It should trigger when your vehicle tracker enters home zone and you can set device > myQ to open. Lmk if you need more help or have questions

• Natural Light setting is fickle - Lutron Aurora
  2 projects | /r/Hue | 16 May 2023

  Adaptive lighting is not a default for Home Assistant. It's an addon. You can install it through HACS (which is an addon itself) https://hacs.xyz/

• How to access all of the things from a single point

  Once you have that, you can also install a lot of additional services that would require separate docker containers from the Addon Store (like PiHole) or HACS, which is where you'll get all the unofficially supported integrations. Frigate is an option in the latter, so I don't think you need a separate PC application, unless it's just to view.

• Alexa routines accessible in home assistant?
  3 projects | /r/homeautomation | 6 Jan 2023

  Yup! There's a community integration you can install called Alexa Media Player. The easiest way to install it is by using HACS.

• This is why Linus says not to buy Cloud-based services
  1 project | /r/LinusTechTips | 22 Nov 2022

  There's also an extended 'store' called HACS (Home Assistant Community Store) which basically has third-party, but still FOSS so you can audit the code, integrations which further expand. https://hacs.xyz/
