The brain: Banana Pro with Home Assistant
My Pi 2's micro sd card broke very quickly, so I've been working on a more stable replacement in the form of a Banana Pro board. I installed Bananian on the sd card and then moved the installation to a read hard disk connected to the SATA port. Hopefully this will survive longer.
Home Assistant
I followed this Installation instructions. This worked fine once I installed some dependencies for the discovery component (I don't know which one did the trick):
apt-get install build-essential checkinstall python3-dev
Useful commands for my own reference
sudo journalctl -f -u home-assistant@homeassistant
sudo service home-assistant@homeassistant restart
Sensors
NRF nodes
Most probably I will use the hardware designed by User:Zarya as mentioned in NrfSensorNode. They will run the library from https://www.mysensors.org/.
Lights
Philips Hue
Got some Philips Hue stuff for cheap. It's the Hue Bridge v1, and 3 LED lights that work just fine, although 2 of them are missing the glass bit. They do whites and colors \o/. They are supposed to integrate with Home Assistant very easily: https://home-assistant.io/components/light.hue/ <gallery> Image:Hue.jpg </gallery?
