Installation on Hassio #127

Open magicmatt007 opened 4 years ago

magicmatt007 commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. First of all sorry for any dumb questions. I'm still a beginner.... I'd like to install this bt-mqtt-gateway on my Hassio running on a raspberry PI. I already have a Mosquito MQTT broker running on it. Normally, I install via the Hass-Io Add-On Store or the HACS (home assistant community store). I don't know, if and how I can install this package on my system.

Describe the solution you'd like In a perfect world, I'd like to have this available either in the Hass-Io Add-On Store or alternatively being able to plug this repository into the HACS.

Describe alternatives you've considered None.

Additional context None

I'm not sure HACS can handle it ( it needs to be run outside of HA ).

For Hass-Io this can make more sense, then why use this, instead of built in bluetooth integrations, from HA ? Idea was to put it on different device, to extend BT range.

Happy to accept PRs for this.

Hi Zewelor,

I'm actually trying to integrate my Linak Desk on my Hassio. Your bt-mqtt-gateway mentions that it would support it. As I already have a MQTT broker running anyway for zigbee2mqtt, I thought it would be easy to add bt-mqtt. I'm happy to skipp the mqtt broker and use the bt directly on my hassio. But I wouldn't know how to :-) Do you know?

zewelor commented 4 years ago

If you are running hassio ( docker ) then you can use docker image to run gateway. Other option would be to create some custom component, for linak desk ( that would allow most features for sure ).

How would I create "some custom component"? Thx

It is all nicely documented on the HA website. https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/creating_component_index.html
