The Web UI has a Disable button, and also quick options for permanent, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 5 minutes, custom, etc. I think there's also an API as well. I can toggle it via Alexa and Home-Assistant.
It's a feature that's been around for 2 years or more
- xref 6y ago“Alexa, shut pihole” Thanks for the tip, I don’t have any home assistants but this would be the first integration I’d set up
- domoritz 6y agoI just noticed that the home assistant addon has been deprecated: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-pi-hole https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-pi-hole. I hope that it comes back eventually.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoThey recommend the AdGuard Home one now... That's why they have replaced it. I also don't like it as AdGuard is a commercial company, and I have zero need for the added features like parental control. But I don't really care, I run all the dockers that have nothing to do with home assistant outside of hassio anyway.
- dnzm 6y agoTo be fair, AdGuard Home is an open source project under GPL, so there's that.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoI know. But still I would prefer something a non-profit or volunteer-driven project over one from a for-profit company. Especially in the adblocking business where investor concerns are very likely not going to be aligned with consumer interests. It's not about it being free, I support several free open source projects with donations. I just don't like the clashing interests. For me that means Firefox, uBlock Origin and pihole (though I ran dnsmasq myself for a while, I like what they've made of pihole now, it's come a long way!)
