Homex

This library aims to bring Elixir (and especially Nerves) closer to Home Assistant. This is a work in progress based on the initial idea.

Example

There is a Livebook example example.livemd to get you started!

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding homex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:homex, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Usage

Define a module for the type of entity you want to use

defmodule MySwitch do
  use Homex.Entity.Switch, name: "my-switch"

  def handle_on(entity) do
    IO.puts("Switch turned on")
    entity
  end

  def handle_off(entity) do
    IO.puts("Switch turned off")
    entity
  end
end

Configure broker and entities. See Homex module docs for options. Entities can also be added/removed at runtime with Homex.add_entity/1 or Homex.remove_entity/1.

import Config

config :homex,
  broker: [host: "localhost", port: 1883],
  entities: [MySwitch]

Add homex to you supervision tree

defmodule MyApp.Application do

  def start(_type, _args) do
    children =
      [
        ...,
        Homex,
        ...
      ]

    opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: MyApp.Supervisor]
    Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
  end
end
