[HACK] Installing HassOS on the Athom Home – PART 1

Perhaps it is about time to give a little update on this project as well. Not that I really kicked it off, but there are some related developments behind the curtain that do relate to this project as well. Recently I gave an update about the MycroftOS project where I stated that I moved away from a “normal” Buildroot fork into a Buildroot-External folder structure. Now how does this relate to this hacking project? Actually very simple. The new structure is EXACTLY the same as how HassOS has done it. If you have a look at the github page of MycroftOS and the gitgub page of HassOS you will see what I mean.

This allowed me to learn how HassOS has done things while it also gave me a jump start in how to do the MycroftOS project properly. Of course I gave credits to the guys of Home Assistant, however I have learned this is the new way of how to work on Buildroot if you have for instance proprietary software.

So again, not one line of code written for this project, however now fully understands how HassOS implemented things, so by the time a Athom Homey lands on my desk it is just a matter of adding the board structure for the Homey. I will do this as proper Pull Request to the HassOS repository so that by the time it all works it can be pulled into HassOS itself and updates to it will follow the Home Assistant updates for the other devices.

Secondly, I will add the Athom Homey as device for the MycroftOS project, for the people that do not really want to use the Homey for home automation anymore and instead use it as a nice Personal A.I. Assistant. 🙂

    Hoi Peter,
    Ben je nog een beetje bezig met dit project?
    Ik vind de hardware wel leuk van Homey, maar wil er dan wel HassOS op kunnen draaien.
    Er zijn twee versies van Homey, de nieuwe heeft geen imcs meer. Welke ben jij van plan te gebruiken?

      Hoi Paul,
      Wat late reactie, maar nee. Eigenlijk niet zo heel veel verder meegekomen. Dat wil zeggen, heb nog geen Homey en of de beschikking tot eentje. Heb wel alweer heel veel geleerd de afgelopen maanden over zowel Buildroot als Home Assistant. Ben nog steeds van mening dat het moet kunnen. Alleen momenteel gaat vrijwel alle tijd richting het MycroftOS project.

        Dank voor je reactie. Mycroft is zeker leuk, maar helaas niet offline. Zelf gebruik ik Rhasspy als spraakassistent.
        Succes met je projecten, af en toe check ik ze!
