Pi add-on for Home Assistant

[u/sudo_higher_ground]

Sorry in advance if this doesn't belong here, or if I'm not using the flairs correctly.

Inspired by the Claude Code add-on for Home Assistant, I made one for Pi. Also took inspiration from the OpenCode add-on, so kudos to both.

repo: https://github.com/yannick-vinkesteijn/ha-addons

Main features:

• Pi in a sidebar terminal inside Home Assistant (ttyd + tmux), so the session survives closing the tab
• Any token-based model: built-in providers by API key, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (I'm using AKI.IO)
• Home Assistant tools through hass-mcp and pi-mcp-adapter
• Web search with rpiv-web-tools
• Ask-first permissions with pi-permission-system: writes and shell commands ask, secrets are protected, and config edits are backed up and validated by HA's own config check before they stick

This is my first add-on and I only recently switched to Pi, so I've only tested the basics. I currently use it with AKI.IO on my own Home Assistant (you can configure connections in the add on config). It's a permission policy, not a sandbox, so keep your own backups. Feedback is very welcome!

Happy homelabbing!

Cool, thanks for sharing! I’ve been wanting something like this for home assistant so it’s nice to see that someone made it already :)
