# Gome-Assistant

Write strongly typed [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) automations in Go!

## Disclaimer

Gome-Assistant is a new library, and I'm opening it up early to get some user feedback on the API and help shape the direction. I plan for it to grow to cover all Home Assistant use cases, services, and event types. So it's possible that breaking changes will happen before v1.0.0!

## Quick Start

### Installation

```
go get saml.dev/gome-assistant
```

### Write your automations

Check out [`example/example.go`](./example/example.go) for an example of the 3 types of automations — schedules, entity listeners, and event listeners.

> ℹ️ Instead of copying and pasting, try typing it yourself to see how autocomplete guides you through the setup using a builder pattern.

### Run your code

Keeping with the simplicity that Go is famous for, you don't need a specific environment or docker container to run Gome-Assistant. You just write and run your code like any other Go binary. So once you build your code, you can run it however you like — using `screen` or `tmux`, a cron job, a linux service, or wrap it up in a docker container if you like!

> _❗ No promises, but I may provide a Docker image with file watching to automatically restart gome-assistant, to make it easier to use gome-assistant on a fully managed Home Assistant installation._

## gome-assistant Concepts

### Overview

The general flow is

1. Create your app
2. Register automations
3. Start app

```go
import ga "saml.dev/gome-assistant"

// replace with IP and port of your Home Assistant installation
app, err := ga.NewApp("0.0.0.0:8123")

// create automations here (see next sections)

// register automations
app.RegisterSchedules(...)
app.RegisterEntityListeners(...)
app.RegisterEventListeners(...)
app.RegisterIntervals(...)

app.Start()
```

A full reference is available on [pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/saml.dev/gome-assistant), but all you need to know to get started are the four types of automations in gome-assistant.

- [Daily Schedules](#daily-schedule)
- [Entity Listeners](#entity-listener)
- [Event Listeners](#event-listener)
- [Intervals](#interval)

### Daily Schedule

Daily Schedules run at a specific time each day.

```go
_7pm := ga.NewDailySchedule().Call(myFunc).At("19:00").Build()
```

Schedules can also be run at sunrise or sunset, with an optional [offset](https://pkg.go.dev/time#ParseDuration).

```go
// 30 mins before sunrise
sunrise := ga.NewDailySchedule().Call(myFunc).Sunrise(app, "-30m").Build()
// at sunset
sunset := ga.NewDailySchedule().Call(myFunc).Sunset().Build()
```

Daily schedules have other functions to change the behavior.

| Function | Info |
| ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ExceptionDates(t time.Time, ...time.Time) | Skip the schedule on the given date(s). Functions like a blocklist. Cannot be combined with OnlyOnDates. |
| OnlyOnDates(t time.Time, ...time.Time) | Run only on the given date(s). Functions like an allowlist. Cannot be combined with ExceptionDates. |

#### Schedule Callback function

The function passed to `.Call()` must take

- `*ga.Service` used to call home assistant services
- `*ga.State` used to retrieve state from home assistant

```go
func myFunc(se *ga.Service, st *ga.State) {
// ...
}
```

### Entity Listener

Entity Listeners are used to respond to entities changing state. The simplest entity listener looks like:

```go
etl := ga.NewEntityListener().EntityIds("binary_sensor.front_door").Call(myFunc).Build()
```

Entity listeners have other functions to change the behavior.

| Function | Info |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ToState("on") | Function only called if new state matches argument. |
| FromState("on") | Function only called if old state matches argument. |
| Throttle("30s") | Minimum time between function calls. |
| Duration("30s") | Requires ToState(). Sets how long the entity must be in the state before running your function. |
| OnlyAfter("03:00") | Only run your function after a specified time of day. |
| OnlyBefore("03:00") | Only run your function before a specified time of day. |
| OnlyBetween("03:00", "14:00") | Only run your function between two specified times of day. |
| ExceptionDates(time.Time, ...time.Time) | A one time exception on the given date. Time is ignored, applies to whole day. Functions like a "blocklist". |
| ExceptionRange(time.Time, time.Time) | A one time exception between the two date/times. Both date and time are considered. Functions like a "blocklist". |
| RunOnStartup() | Run your callback during `App.Start()`. |

#### Entity Listener Callback function

The function passed to `.Call()` must take

- `*ga.Service` used to call home assistant services
- `*ga.State` used to retrieve state from home assistant
- `ga.EntityData` which is the entity that triggered the listener

```go
func myFunc(se *ga.Service, st *ga.State, e ga.EntityData) {
// ...
}
```

### Event Listener

Event Listeners are used to respond to entities changing state. The simplest event listener looks like:

```go
evl := ga.NewEntityListener().EntityIds("binary_sensor.front_door").Call(myFunc).Build()
```

Event listeners have other functions to change the behavior.

| Function | Info |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Throttle("30s") | Minimum time between function calls. |
| OnlyAfter("03:00") | Only run after a specified time of day. |
| OnlyBefore("03:00") | Only run before a specified time of day. |
| OnlyBetween("03:00", "14:00") | Only run between two specified times of day. |
| ExceptionDates(time.Time, ...time.Time) | A one time exception on the given date. Time is ignored, applies to whole day. |
| ExceptionRange(time.Time, time.Time) | A one time exception between the two date/times. Both date and time are considered. |

#### Event Listener Callback function

The function passed to `.Call()` must take

- `*ga.Service` used to call home assistant services
- `*ga.State` used to retrieve state from home assistant
- `ga.EventData` containing the event data that triggered the listener

```go
func myFunc(se *ga.Service, st *ga.State, ed ga.EventData) {
// ...
}
```

### Interval

Intervals are used to run a function on an interval.

```go
// run every hour at the 30-minute mark
interval := ga.NewInterval().Call(myFunc).Every("1h").StartingAt("00:30").Build()
// run every 5 minutes between 10am and 5pm
interval = ga.NewInterval().Call(myFunc).Every("5m").StartingAt("10:00").EndingAt("17:00").Build()
```

Intervals have other functions to change the behavior.

| Function | Info |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| StartingAt(TimeString) | What time the interval begins to run each day. |
| EndingAt(TimeString) | What time the interval stops running each day. |
| ExceptionDates(time.Time, ...time.Time) | A one time exception on the given date. Time is ignored, applies to whole day. |
| ExceptionRange(time.Time, time.Time) | A one time exception between the two date/times. Both date and time are considered. |

#### Interval Callback function

The function passed to `.Call()` must take

- `*ga.Service` used to call home assistant services
- `*ga.State` used to retrieve state from home assistant

```go
func myFunc(se *ga.Service, st *ga.State) {
// ...
}
```
