eifinger's Appdaemon Scripts

About

This is the repository containing all my Appdaemon apps.

Used together with my Homeassistant config which you can find here:

https://github.com/eifinger/homeassistant-config

I use Appdaemon for all my automations since I am a programmer myself and it provides me with all the possibilities of the Python world and a far better debugging experience than HA Automations or nodered.

No longer actively maintained

I no longer use appdaemon for my automations and switched over to automations completely:

• Traces allow easy debugging of what happened and why
• I can see related entities from automations and vise versa
• I can quickly adjust automations via the UI editor on my smartphone
• There is no disconnect/lag between Appdaemon and Homeassistant.

How to contribute

Just open an Issue or a Pull Request for any Comments, Questions, etc.

Or you can message me on twitter : @eifinger

How to use

If you have never used Appdaemon before I suggest you start with the tutorial and the guide. Both contain more links to great tutorials and examples.

I tried to write each App in this repository with reusability in mind. This means that every app in here has a short documentation and is (if possible) written to be easily adjusted to your environment and your needs.

app_switch

Every App has an input_boolean inside HA which turns it on/off. This is useful if I don't want any notifications right now or an App is misbehaving.

buttonClicked

My multipurpose App to link any switch/light to a Xiaomi Button.

You can map different entities to the click types single and double.

For the 1st Generation Button you can hold the button to use it as a light dimmer.

xiaomiroundButtonBedroomClicked:

  actor_hold: light.bedroom_yeelight
  dependencies:
    - Notifier

comingHome

When the front door openes and no one was home before this will turn on something. I am using it to turn on the light (if the sun is down) and turn on the receiver so I can hear Alexa

comingHomeYeelight:
  module: comingHome
  class: ComingHome
  app_switch: input_boolean.coming_home_yeelight
  sensor: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d000126a57b

  actor_double: group.all
  actor_hold: light.bedroom_yeelight

detectWrongState

Checks a list of entities which should be on/off when everybody left the house. If something isn't right it will try to turn it off (e.g. a light) and send a notification.

detectWrongStateWhenLeaving:
  module: detectWrongStateWhenLeaving
  class: DetectWrongStateWhenLeaving
  app_switch: input_boolean.detect_wrong_state_when_leaving

  class: Monitor
  events:

faceRecognitionBot

COMING SOON

travel_time

Monitors my Travel Time Sensors e.g. between home and work. I can enable an input_boolean in HA which causes this App to send me a notication as soon as the traffic is in an acceptable range. I use this drive to/from work when there is the least traffic.

travelTime_home_from_work:
  module: travelTimeNotifier
  class: TravelTimeNotifier
  sensor: sensor.travel_time_home_from_work
  notify_input_boolean: input_boolean.travel_time_home_from_work
  notify_name: group_notifications
  message: "Du kannst losfahren nach {}"
  #message: "You can start your journey to {}"

heartbeat

Sets a sensor in Homeassistant which is checked by an automation. The automation sends out a notification if appdaemon does not respond.

homeArrivalNotifier

Greet the person coming home with a notification

homeArrivalNotifierUserOne:
  module: homeArrivalNotifier
  class: HomeArrivalNotifier
  app_switch: input_boolean.home_arrival_notifier_user_one
  input_boolean: input_boolean.user_one_home
  notify_name: group_notifications
  user_name: Kevin
  zone_name: Home
  message: "Willkommen zu Hause {}."
  #message: "Welcome Home {}."

isHomeDeterminer

Controls an input_boolean "isHome" which is used as a trigger for other Apps. The state depends on other input_booleans controlled by the isUserHomeDeterminer

isHomeDeterminer:
  module: isHomeDeterminer
  class: IsHomeDeterminer
  app_switch: input_boolean.is_home_determiner
  ishome: input_boolean.is_home
  input_booleans: input_boolean.user_one_home,input_boolean.user_two_home
  message: "Es ist keiner mehr zu Hause. Setze isHome auf off"
  #message: "Everyone left home. Setting isHome to off"

isUserHomeDeterminer

The GPS Logger tells me where someone is. But I want to know for sure who just came in the door. App to toggle an input boolean when a person enters or leaves home. This is determined based on a combination of a GPS device tracker and the door sensor.

• If the door sensor opens and the device_tracker changed to "home" in the last self.delay minutes this means someone got home
• If the door sensor opens and the device_tracker changes to "not_home" in the next self.delay minutes this means someone left home

isUserHomeDeterminerUserOne:
  module: isUserHomeDeterminer
  class: IsUserHomeDeterminer
  app_switch: input_boolean.is_user_home_determiner_user_one
  input_boolean: input_boolean.user_one_home
  device_tracker: person.kevin
  door_sensor: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d000126a57b

leavingZoneNotifier

Notify if a user is leaving a zone after being there for a certain amount of time. I use this to notify my SO that I am leaving work and driving home

leavingWorkNotifierUserOne:
  module: leavingZoneNotifier
  class: LeavingZoneNotifier
  app_switch: input_boolean.leaving_work_notifier_user_one
  device: person.kevin
  user_name: Kevin
  lingering_time: 3600
  delay: 120
  zone: Arbeit
  notify_name: group_notifications
  message: "{} hat {} vor {} Minuten verlassen."
  travel_time_sensor: sensor.travel_time_home_user_one
  travel_time_sensor_message: "Die momentane Reisezeit beträgt {}."
  dependencies:
    - Notifier

motionTrigger

Turn something on/off when a motion sensor turns on. Automatically turn it off again after a delay.

bathMotionTrigger:
  module: motionTrigger
  class: MotionTrigger
  app_switch: input_boolean.bath_motion_trigger
  sensor: binary_sensor.0x00158d000236b801_occupancy
  entity_on: light.lower_bathroom_yeelight
  entity_off: light.lower_bathroom_yeelight
  sensor_type: zigbee2mqtt
  after_sundown: True
  turn_off_constraint_entities_on: binary_sensor.0x00158d0001fa464b_occupancy
  delay: 300

newWifiDeviceNotify

Actually a wrong name. This will send me a notification when any device_tracker component detects a new device. I initally thought to use this as a security feature but found it quite useful when adding new Sonoff switches and such. I get a notification if the setup was successfull.

Version 1.2: Displays two buttons which let me control the internet access for the new device. The configured fritzbox standard profile denies internet access. With this I can easily allow my guests access to the internet without logging in to my fritzbox manually.

newWifiDeviceNotify:
  module: newWifiDeviceNotify
  class: DeviceNotify
  notify_name: group_notifications
  message: "Unbekanntes Gerät entdeckt. Hostname: {}. MAC: {}."
  #message: "Unknown device connected. Hostname: {}. MAC: {}"

nextAppointmentLeaveNotifier

Send me a notification when it is time to leave for my next appointment based on my current location. Inspired by this blog post.

• Selectable travel mode (car/bus/walk/bike)
• Only for google calendar events which have a location
• Adjustable offset when to notify
• Includes a direct Google Maps Navigation Link in Notification Message

Saved my ass quite a few times

nextAppointmentLeaveNotifier:
  module: nextAppointmentLeaveNotifier
  class: NextAppointmentLeaveNotifier
  sensor: sensor.calc_leave_time
  notify_input_boolean: input_boolean.announce_time_to_leave
  notify_name: group_notifications

  travel_time_sensor: sensor.travel_time_next_appointment_location
  message: "Es ist Zeit loszufahren nach {}. Du brauchst {} Minuten. Hier ist ein Google Maps Link: {}"
  #message: "It's time to leave to {}. It will take {} minutes. Here is a Google Maps Link: {}"

Thanks

First of all thanks to the Homeassistant Team and Andrew Cockburn for making Appdaemon

Some of the Apps are taken from the official examples and many based on or at least inspired by Rene Tode. For example his absolutely fantastic Alexa-Appdaemon-App.
