Integration with home assistant

[taostaos]

I'm currently thinking about how to integrate Jarvis and Home assistant.

They provide Alexa support, so I'll read a lot about how they did the integration.

The first idea of implementation I had was to just build a script to create the list of Jarvis command based on the list of service provided by the rest api of HA.
I might be interesting to push data from HA to Jarvis like "hey, your girlfriend is almost here".

Maybe they did the integration differently.

Do you think this should be a part of Jarvis?
->Yes = Maybe you can contact the HA leader, he might be interested =)
->No = I'll do it on my own ^^'

Would you like to control from Jarvis or get a status any device managed by Home Assistant?

Looks like they provide a RESTful API:
https://home-assistant.io/developers/rest_api/
which allows to read states, events, history but also call for services such as turning lights on.

So I believe it is possible to use Jarvis to actually talk and hear from your Home Assistant.
The best approach I would recommend here would be to create a Jarvis plugin for HomeAssistant.

If we can get someone from HA to do it, even better 😄
They have a Github repo, we could cross ref a ticket there.

I think that to be able to provide the cleanest way to push data to Jarvis, you might consider to provide a little rest api. It shoud be easy as there is already jarvis -s implemented.

Should I give it a try and do a pull request?

Quick poc of a rest api to push notifications to jarvis, written in python, using flask framework.

Very nice, you can propose a pull request.
You could propose it in the root folder and it will be the starting point for a real RESTful API for adding commands, events, ...
Someone has actually asked for it here: #180

[taostaos]

Doing it asap

Jarvis API plugin now available allowing you to control Jarvis remotely:

Could be nice if someone proposes to create a Plugin for Home Assistant

I will do a plugin for HA as I'm migrating from openhab. When I finish my migration I do that.
