# Home Assistant Module
This document details the Home Assistant module configuration.
## Module Structure
The Home Assistant module is organized in the following structure:
```
modules/nixos/homeassistant/
├── automations/ # Automation configurations
│ ├── lightswitch/ # Light switch automations
│ └── motion-light/ # Motion-activated light automations
├── default.nix # Main module configuration
├── options.nix # Module options definition
└── services/ # Related service configurations
├── govee2mqtt/ # Govee integration via MQTT
├── homeassistant/ # Core Home Assistant service
├── music-assistant/ # Music Assistant integration
├── thread/ # Thread border router
└── zigbee2mqtt/ # Zigbee to MQTT bridge
```
## Module Options
The module is configured through options defined in `options.nix`:
```nix
options.${namespace}.services.home-assistant = {
enable = mkEnableOption "enable home-assistant";
mosquittoPort = mkOpt types.int 1883 "Port for MQTT";
zigbee2mqttPort = mkOpt types.int 8080 "Port for zigbee2mqtt web interface";
zigbeeDevicePath = mkOpt types.str "/dev/ttyUSB0" "Path to zigbee usb device";
};
```
## Main Configuration
The main module configuration in `default.nix` includes:
1. **Activation Scripts** - For setting up custom components
2. **Service Configurations** - For Matter, PostgreSQL, etc.
3. **Firewall Rules** - For allowing required ports
```nix
config = lib.mkIf cfg.enable {
# Activation script for custom components
system.activationScripts.installCustomComponents = ''
chown -R hass:hass ${config.services.home-assistant.configDir}
chmod -R 750 ${config.services.home-assistant.configDir}
'';
# Service configurations
services = {
matter-server.enable = true;
postgresql = {
enable = false;
ensureDatabases = [ "hass" ];
ensureUsers = [
{
name = "hass";
ensureDBOwnership = true;
}
];
};
};
# Firewall rules
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [
cfg.mosquittoPort
cfg.zigbee2mqttPort
8095 # music-assistant
8097 # home-assistant
5580 # matter-server
];
};
```
## Home Assistant Service
The core Home Assistant service configuration in `services/homeassistant/default.nix` includes:
1. **Package Selection** - Using the standard Home Assistant package
2. **Component Configuration** - Enabling required components
3. **Custom Components** - Adding custom components from packages
4. **Lovelace Modules** - Adding custom UI components
5. **Integration Configuration** - Setting up integrations with other systems
```nix
services.home-assistant = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.home-assistant;
openFirewall = true;
configDir = "/var/lib/homeassistant";
configWritable = true;
# Components
extraComponents = [
"mqtt"
"zha"
"homekit"
# ... many more components
];
# Custom components
customComponents = [
# ... custom components
];
# Lovelace modules
customLovelaceModules = [
# ... custom UI modules
];
# Configuration
config = {
# ... Home Assistant configuration
};
};
```
## Related Services
### Zigbee2MQTT
The Zigbee2MQTT service in `services/zigbee2mqtt/default.nix` connects Zigbee devices to MQTT:
```nix
services.zigbee2mqtt = {
enable = true;
settings = {
mqtt = {
server = "mqtt://localhost:${toString cfg.mosquittoPort}";
};
serial = {
port = cfg.zigbeeDevicePath;
};
# ... additional settings
};
};
```
### MQTT
MQTT is configured as a dependency for the Home Assistant module.
### Thread Border Router
The Thread Border Router in `services/thread/default.nix` provides Thread network connectivity for Matter devices.
## Automations
The module includes predefined automations in the `automations/` directory:
1. **Light Switch Automations** - For controlling lights via physical switches
2. **Motion Light Automations** - For motion-activated lighting
## Using the Module
To use this module in a system configuration:
```nix
{ config, ... }:
{
mjallen.services.home-assistant = {
enable = true;
# Optional: customize ports and device paths
mosquittoPort = 1883;
zigbee2mqttPort = 8080;
zigbeeDevicePath = "/dev/ttyUSB0";
};
}
```
## Extending the Module
### Adding Custom Components
To add a custom component:
1. Add the package to `packages/`
2. Add it to the `customComponents` list in `services/homeassistant/default.nix`
### Adding Custom Automations
To add a custom automation:
1. Create a new directory in `automations/`
2. Implement the automation in `default.nix`
3. Import it in the system configuration
