Home Assistant Container install on Raspberry Pi 4.
Full setup here.
For themes, head over to the themes folder.
These are some of my custom implementations using Home Assistant:
With custom component Alexa Media Player
, Home Assistant is able to control any thing that you're able to speak to Alexa.

This requires the use of input_boolean
helpers to control the state of the entity.
Since this uses the smart speaker, an internet connection is unfortunately required for this to work.
E.g. to control a smart plug...
# configuration.yaml
switch:
platform: template
switches:
6a_plug:
value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.6a_plug_state', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
entity_id: input_boolean.16a_plug_state
- service: media_player.play_media
entity_id: media_player.new_room_echo
data:
media_content_id: 'turn on 6a plug'
media_content_type: custom
turn_off:
- service: input_boolean.turn_off
entity_id: input_boolean.6a_plug_state
- service: media_player.play_media
entity_id: media_player.new_room_echo
data:
media_content_id: 'turn off 6a plug'
media_content_type: custom
With custom firmware and bash scripts, statistics from router like current internet usage or monthly usage can be integrated into Home Assistant.

Requires Voxel's firmware and entware
to be installed.
Get current WAN usage
Using netdata
:
# ssh [email protected]
opkg install netdata
Add the Netdata integration to Home Assistant.
Using vnstat
to get total daily/monthly usage
# Install on router
opkg install vnstat2
# Initialize WAN interface
vnstat2 --create -i eth0
# Restart vnstat daemon
/opt/etc/init.d/S32vnstat restart
# configuration.yaml
# Daily usage
sensor:
- platform: command_line
name: Router daily WAN usage
command: "/bin/bash /config/scripts/orbi_router.sh wan_daily"
# Script in ./bash_scripts/orbi_router.sh
scan_interval: 120
value_template: "{{ value_json.id }}"
json_attributes:

{{ (state_attr('sensor.router_monthly_wan_usage','upload') | float/976563)|round(1) }}
{% else %} NaN {% endif %}

Controls the volume of the Alsa mixer - 3.5mm headphone port on the Raspberry Pi.

This involves a input_number
helper, an automation and a series of shell commands.
Requires alsamixer
to be installed.
# configuration.yaml
input_number:
pi_volume:
min: 0
max: 100
step: 5
automation:
- alias: Set soundbar volume
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_number.pi_volume
action:
- service_template: shell_command.pi_volume_{{ trigger.to_state.state | int }
shell_command:
pi_volume_0: echo amixer_0 | netcat localhost 7900
pi_volume_5: echo amixer_5 | netcat localhost 7900
# Truncated. Full in ./config
Similar to above, the script calls the command amixer
to increase or decrease the volume...
hass_socket_script.sh
:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $MESSAGE == 'amixer_0' ]]; then
amixer -q cset numid=1 -- -10239
fi
if [[ $MESSAGE == 'amixer_5' ]]; then
amixer -q cset numid=1 -- -7399
fi

Stream lofi-beats from YouTube.

Pull Docker image:
docker pull agneev/mpv-ytdl:lofi
# configuration.yaml
switch:
platform: command_line
switches:
lofi_beats:
command_on: echo "lofi_on" | nc localhost 7900
command_off: echo "lofi_off" | nc localhost 7900
socat
runs as a daemon in the background (systemd unit file) and listens for commands.
Once a switch is turned on, this script is called that starts the playback...
hass_socket_script.sh
:
#!/bin/bash
read -r MESSAGE
if [[ $MESSAGE == 'lofi_on' ]]; then
docker run -d --rm --name=lofi-beats \
-e "VIDEO_ID=abcdef" \
--device=/dev/snd:/dev/snd \
agneev/mpv-ytdl:lofi
if [[ $MESSAGE == 'lofi_off' ]]; then
docker stop lofi-beats
