# Home Automation Microservices
This project originaly was for internet monitor. It has expanded to be a microservices platform
that integrates with Home Assistant for home automation. Several IOT devices have web interfaces, such as
routers, but do not have APIs. Thus this API was created so that an API could be called by the home
automation system, to perform tasks that via the device's HTML interface.
## Internet Monitor
Reboots the DD-WRT router when there are no WiFi clients connected to it.
### Problem
My router would occasionally disconnect any of the wireless clients that were connected to it. Since
I have wired and wireless devices connected, some of the time I would not know that the wifi had
stopped working until my phone or laptop wouldn't connect or I noticed that a automation did not
trigger when it should have.
### Solution
After updating to the latest DD-WRT firmware, the problem persisted. Given that I work building
automations to improve business processes, I decided that I would build and automation that would
connect to the router’s web interface and see if there are any wireless clients connected to it.
If there are no connected wireless clients, then there is a great chance that the wifi process that
authenticates clients has crashed. As a result, the process would need to be restarted and the easiest
way to restart the process would be to reboot the router.

## HD Home Run
Can install updates and check the status of the HD HomeRun.
### Problem
HD HomeRun receives updates via the web and displays a notification on the web UI of the device. Unless
you visit the web UI of the device, you will not know that an update is ready to be installed.
### Solution
Create a Selenium Webdriver automation that is triggered by an API call from Home Assistant to see
if there updates available. When updates are available, Home Assistant will show a notification about
the updates. This also has functionality to get the system and tuner status of the HD HomeRun and
display it in Home Assistant.
