Home Assistant Add-on #10

Closed supersebbo closed 1 year ago

Hi,

Very excited to start experimenting with this project for my Balboa BP2100 based spa, my Elfin-EW11A is on order. I wondered, did you ever consider publishing this as an all-in-one Home Assistant 'add-on'? Add-ons are simply docker containers with a bit of meta-data to allow HA to manage them, it also allows for easy integration wtih HA hosted MQTT servers with HA managing credentials. I think it could almost fully automate the installation process for this system - all people would need to do is configure the Elfin.

If so or not, I'd be interested in helping/partnering on this. Let me know.

Thanks!

It's a great idea but unfortunately, I'm not the author of the https://github.com/ccutrer/balboa_worldwide_app module. My contribution and this repository is just a docker wrapper around @ccutrer amazing code with a few additions to support the Elfin adapter. You should ask the same on his repo. I'd be happy to contribute anything here to the effort.

Thanks for the response. Totally understand - however the bulk of the work to make it an 'addon' is the just the docker wrapper, so if you're happy for me to re-use your code I'll give it my best shot, and of course cite your work :)
