I just stumbled across this thread. This is wonderful, and much preferred to running Homey SHS on Synology (maybe 
). At least I’m not going to experience the current issue I’m having with saving flows when Hyper Backup is writing to my other NAS.
Thank you so much for developing this! I really wish it had been presented on the SHS product page. I would have chosen this over Synology.
Hello,
I’m really impressed with the Home Assistant add-on and am currently testing it on my Home Assistant OS.
The devices are transferred to Homey without any issues.
My question is, assuming I add new devices via Home Assistant, will they be automatically transferred to Homey, or do I have to manually request the device from Home Assistant in the app?
The add-on isn’t officially advertised on the Athom website.
Therefore, my question is, how long will this add-on be supported with updates?
Can you tell me how that works?
I only know of manually adding the H.A. devices per Home Assistant community app.
(I prefer it over the ‘official’ Home Assistant app)
Manually, like the way I just described.
For the other way round, you can give this brand new HA integration a go:
https://community.homey.app/t/home-assistant-integration-for-homey-now-available/148786
Create an API key, install the add-on per HACS, and it connects to all of your Homey devices, zones, flows and moods, with options to deselect or remove unneeded Homey items.
Note: it’s still a work in progress!
I’m using the official Home Assistant app from the Homey App Store because my goal is to control all my Homey devices, and I haven’t encountered any problems with that so far.
The Community app isn’t relevant for me, as it describes how to use Homey devices within Home Assistant.
Backup concept? Is it sufficient to perform backups only on the HA production system, or is it necessary to do this in Homey as well?
The Home Assistant Community app has the same base functionality > adding HA devices to Homey.
You most probably have read the info about the new Homey integration for H.A.,
https://community.homey.app/t/homey-integration-for-home-assistant-now-available/148786
which I was not referring to!
.
It’s probably already part of your backups.
