Configuring the package in HomeAssistant Docker container

Make sure the package is installed and configured properly

1. First we need to pull the container
   sudo docker pull homeassistant/home-assistant:latest
2. Run Home Assistant container

   docker run --name=Home-Assistant -d \
   	--env="TZ=Asia/Jerusalem" \
   	--v="/path/to/your/config:/config:rw" \
   	--net=host \
   	--restart=always \
   	--detach=true -t \
   	homeassistant/home-assistant:latest \
   	python -m homeassistant --config /config
   

• notice the path /path/to/your/config which should be set according to your config directory

2. Go to your config directory and create a new directory named custom_components, in it, create a new directory named switcher, should be something like /path/to/your/config/custom_components/switcher

3. Copy the package files including your configured credentials.json to newly created Switcher directory.

4. Test: Connect to the container
   sudo docker exec -i -t Home-Assistant /bin/bash

5. Test: Run a command within the container
   /path/to/your/config/custom_components/switcher/switcher.py -m get_state

6. If no errors comes up, configure Switcher in HomeAssistant Remember to use the docker config path when configuring the commands
   /path/to/your/config/custom_components/switcher
