Running it in Docker and configuring Home Assistant to use MQTT is a straight forward process. I have a few MQTT projects upcoming/completed that I’ll write about over the next few weeks: Building a smart garage door opener using a Shelly 1 relay. Add-ons for Home Assistant, allow you to extend the functionality around your Home Assistant setup. These add-ons can consist of an application that Home Assistant can integrate with (e.g., a MQTT broker or database server) or allow access to your Home Assistant configuration (e.g., via Samba or using the Configurator).

• Home Assistant Core: our Python core application running in a Python virtual environment or a Docker container. The benefit of running the Supervisor is that you are able to keep Home Assistant up to date from within Home Assistant, and easily install add-ons that are pre-configured to be able to integrate with Home Assistant.

Home Assistant on Docker is easier than running it with HASSIO IMO.

Here is a high-altitude overview of how I run Home Assistant -and- then I’ll dig into the details of my setup.

Install Docker Home Assistant

• Setup Raspbian with Docker and Docker-Compose
• Plugin my Aeon Z-wave script; make sure it’s on /dev/ttyACM0
• Setup scripts for Docker-Compose
• Setup scripts so it runs on startup
• Create a backup process

Okay, details… here is how I run Home Assistant on Docker on a Raspberry Pi 4.

• Install Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi 4.
• Install Docker and Docker-Compose.
• Create /root/docker-compose.yml consisting of the following (NOTE: I use the Aeon z-wave stick at /dev/ttyACM0):

Docker Home Assistant Windows

• Create the following file for automating the service on startup /etc/systemd/system/home-assistant.service
