# ha-entity-cache
[](https://github.com/custom-components/hacs)
AppDaemon based entity cache application for Home Assistant.
*IMPORTANT NOTE. Native Home Assistant already caches content. You will not need this add-on if you did not specify an initial value in your Home Assistant configuration!*
## Example config (/conf/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml)
```yaml
ha-entity-cache:
module: entitycache
class: EntityCache
# The cache_file setting is optional and defaults to cache.json in the script current folder
cache_file: /config/appdaemon/apps/ha-entity-cache/cache.json
entities:
- input_select.test
- climate.rpi_cooling_fan_controller
input_select.test:
state_cache_type: option
climate.rpi_cooling_fan_controller:
attributes:
- temperature
```
Place the entities for caching as a list under `entities:`.
For each entity a _entity_name_: section must exist.
### State caching
Define the key `state_cache_type:` under the _{entity name}_ section.
Supported `state_cache_type` options are:
* `option`: For caching input selects
* `text`: For caching text inputs
* `value`: For caching numeric inputs
* `switch`: for caching on / off controls
### Attribute caching
Define the key `attributes:` under the _{entity name}_ section.
The list of attribute names is a list under this key
## Installation (With AppDaemon add on on Home Assistant) or use HACS (Home Assistant Community store)
Unpack the script files at `/config/appdaemon/`. The active script is then located at `/config/appdaemon//apps/ha-entity-cache/entitycache.py'
After startup, ha-entity-cache listens to updates of the values. That is the moment values are cached and restored after a restart of Home Assistant.
At restore the type is checked. If a not valid type is entered, the value might not be restored, or not correct.
