KNX UI

This is the KNX panel for the KNX core integration in Home Assistant. It provides a user interface for interacting with the KNX integration.

Development

If you check out this repository for the first time please run the following command to init the submodules:

$ nvm use
$ script/bootstrap
...

Development build (watcher)

$ script/develop
...

Production build

$ script/build
...

Update the home assistant frontend

Get the latest release tag.

$ script/upgrade-frontend
...

Or get a specific tag or sha.

$ script/upgrade-frontend <tag-or-sha>
...

Testing the panel

First of all we recommend to follow the instructions for preparing a home assistant development environment.

You can test the panel by symlinking the build result directory knx_frontend into your Home Assistant configuration directory.

Assuming:

• The knx-frontend repository is located at <knx-frontend-dir> path
• The home-assistant-core repository is located at <hass-dir> path (Remark: per default the Home Assistant configuration directory will be created within <hass-dir>/config)

$ ln -s <knx-frontend-dir>/knx_frontend <hass-dir>/config/deps/lib/python3.xx/site-packages/
$ hass -c config
...

Or on a venv-install

$ cd <hass-dir>
$ script/setup
# Next step might be optional
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ export PYTHONPATH=<knx-frontend-dir>
$ hass
...

Now hass (Home Assistant Core) should run on your machine and the knx panel is accessible at http://localhost:8123/knx.

On Home Assistant OS you might use https://github.com/home-assistant/addons-development/tree/master/custom_deps
