Home Assistant Configuration by @whatdaybob

Home Assistant configuration files.

This is my personal Home Assistant Configuration. I tinker here and there and hopefully am doing it correctly!

I will try and write a description for each folder as I add to it!

I have Home Assistant running on an Intel NUC DN2820FYKH (Similar Model as mine is discontinued)

Software used in conjuction with Home Assistant:

• Mosquitto MQTT for MQTT communications.
• Mariadb for the main database.
• Adminer to manage the database.
• Node-RED for automations and other things like cutom sensors.
• Xbox-Smartglass-Core for controlling xboxes.
• Home Assistant - Monitoring API for exposing the system's current metrics via rest.
• Zigbee2mqtt for controlling some zigbee devices
• ha_dockermon to control docker containers directly in HA.
• ESPHome for a few custom built sensors.
• Prometheus for storing long term sensor data.
• Grafana for viewing the long term sensor data in pretty graphs.
• cAdvisor for exposing my docker and hardware statistics for more graphs.
• Node exporter for monitoring linux host metrics in prometheus.
• Alertmanager for handling metrics alerts.
• Dozzle for viewing log files for my docker containers in a browser.
• unifi-poller for sharing Unifi data with prometheus.
• AdGuard Home for network DNS management.

A lot of these just send data to prometheus but come back in via alermanager webhooks
