Welcome to the NetDaemon project. This is the application daemon for Home Assistant for people that love to write code in the .NET ecosystem and want to do their automation for Home Assistant in .NET and C#.

Please see https://netdaemon.xyz for detailed instructions how to get started using NetDaemon.

The NetDaemon is currently in alpha release so expect things to change.

If you have issues or suggestions of improvements, please add an issue

Please join the Discord server to get support or if you want to contribute and help others.

For those who have Homeassistant running on Docker, not supervised by HASS, the NetDaemon can be shipped as a container and ran in parallel.

You can deploy the container using the following command. It is advised to map the /data folder of the container to a local folder as the daemon's apps are linked to this folder.

The following environment variables are available to identify your Home Assistant instance

• HASS_HOST, defaults to localhost
• HASS_PORT, default to 8123
• HASS_TOKEN needs to be set to a valid access token.
• HASS_GEN_ENTITIES, defaults to False, set True if you want the autogenerated entities
• HASS_LOG_LEVEL, defaults to info, values are (trace, debug, info, warning, error)
• TZ, you will need to set container time zone to make the scheduler work properly

Example giving:

docker run -dt \
  --name netdaemon \
  --restart=always \
  -e HASS_HOST=192.168.1.1 \
  -e HASS_TOKEN=XXXXX \
  -e HASS_GEN_ENTITIES=False \
  -e HASS_LOG_LEVEL=info \
  -e TZ=Europe/Stockholm \
  -v ~/netdaemon_config:/data \
  netdaemon/netdaemon

For the full user experiance please download and copy the netdaemon companion component to the custom_components folder of your Home Assistant configuration. The companion app registers basic services that are required for the service attributes as well as the dynamic app reload / discovery feature.

Do not forget to add the component to your Home Assistant configuration file afterwards.

homeassistant:
  customize: !include customize.yaml

Please check out the apps being developed for netdaemon. Since documentation is still lacking behind it will be best looking at real code 😊

Please advice that some customizations to VSCode has been made through settings. Check out the settings.json in the .vscode folder.
