This is my repository containing all Home Assistant Add-ons I developed over time. Currently, there are two add-ons available:
This add-on is a prerequisite for my DWD Global Radiation Home Assistant Integration. It provides the necessary API services for the integration to work correctly. You can find more details in the README.
The add-on uses a Python library to retrieve global radiation measurement and forecast data from the "Deutscher Wetterdienst" (DWD). For more information about the library, visit the DWD Global Radiation repository.
Originally, the plan was to interact with the Python library directly within the Home Assistant integration. However, as of June 2024, the Home Assistant Integration framework cannot install Python packages with complex requirements, like the netCDF4 package, into its core Docker container. The netCDF4 package is essential for processing the DWD data (see netCDF4 documentation). By using an add-on, a separate Docker image can be created to fulfill all Python requirements.
This add-on is for personal experiments and testing/debugging. It is not recommended for productive use and will likely not work with the integration.
DISCLAIMER: This project is a private open-source project and is not affiliated with the German public meteorology service institute "Deutscher Wetterdienst" (DWD). However, it uses its publicly available data interfaces.
