Home Assistant Kodi Addon (HAKA!)

HAKA!

This is a Home Assistant Kodi Addon (HAKA!). The addon allows users with a Home Assistant installation to browse their Home Assistant entities (such as lights, switches and sensors) in a Kodi directory structure. Depending on the type of device actions are possible such as toggling lights, switches or start a robotic vacuum.

HAKA! Main menu

Prerequisites:

  • Home Assistant 2021.2.1 or higher (older versions have a different API)
  • Kodi Leia / Kodi Matrix

Installation

  1. Download the zip file (Kodi Leia / Kodi Matrix)

  2. In Home Assistant navigate to your profile (bottom icon in the side-menu).

  3. Scroll down and generate a long life token (long live the tokens!).

  4. Write down the token / carve it in a stone / memorize / use a carrier pigeon and send it to yourself or.... just copy the token.

  5. Launch Kodi >> Add-ons >> Get More >> .. >> Install from zip file

  6. Enter your Home Assistant IP and port (i.e. https://myfancypansyhainstallation.duckdns.org:8123)

  7. Enter the token obtained in step four (don't forget to release the pigeon if you used one)

  8. Set up the domains you would like to browse from your couch.

Enjoy!
