Yep. Like many here I appreciate the idea of Home Assistant, but the abstraction on top of abstraction is a little disappointing, and seems like too much for so

Yep. Like many here I appreciate the idea of Home Assistant, but the abstraction on top of abstraction is a little disappointing, and seems like too much for someone who's pretty comfortable shell scripting..
..so yes, thats kind of what I'm fishing for. Is anyone aware of something a little more shell-oriented?
- jonwest 5y agoNode red is probably closer to what you’re looking for, though it’s JavaScript and not shell, it’ll give you a lot more flexibility.
- ornornor 5y agoSome say nodered, I personally didn’t like it. Appdaemon however is exactly what I wanted. It can do anything python can and there is no drag and drop UI, you write actual code to make things happen.
- dividedbyzero 5y agoIs appdaemon standalone or does it require HomeAssistant?
- ornornor 5y agoI’m not sure if you can run it without HASS. I run it with, and I think it would be much harder without.
