My goal is it to provide a declarative automation experience for home assistant.

1. Add this repo to your home assistant installation:

2. Install Reactive Home from the addon store
3. (Optional, but recommend) Install the Studio Code Server addon. After you installed the addon, go to the Studio Code Server addon and add this command to the init_commands list:

code --install-extension denoland.vscode-deno && curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh && echo "export DENO_INSTALL=\"/root/.deno\"" >> ~/.zshrc && echo "export PATH=\"\$DENO_INSTALL/bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.zshrc && mkdir -p /config/.vscode/ && echo "{\"deno.enable\":true,\"deno.unstable\":true,\"deno.importMap\":\"./reactive-home/import_map.json\"}" > /config/.vscode/settings.json

In yaml mode it should look like this:

init_commands:
  - >-
    code --install-extension denoland.vscode-deno && curl -fsSL
    https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh && echo "export
    DENO_INSTALL=\"/root/.deno\"" >> ~/.zshrc && echo "export
    PATH=\"\$DENO_INSTALL/bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.zshrc && mkdir -p /config/.vscode/
    && echo "{\"deno.enable\":true,\"deno.unstable\":
    true,\"deno.importMap\":\"./reactive-home/import_map.json\"}" >
    /config/.vscode/settings.json
packages: []

You can also just replace the yaml content with this.

Now you need to start Studio Code Server. I recommen to enable Show in sidebar for quick access.

4. Start the reactive-home addon
5. Now you can start writing your scripts

Reactive Home will load all .ts script files beginning with script. inside the reactive-home directory (gets created automatically).

Example:

• reactive-home/my-script.ts ❌ wrong
• reactive-home/script.my-script.ts ✅ correct

This ensures that only files you want to run as standalone script get loaded.

The easiest way to edit your scripts is to use the Studio Code Server addon (Follow the installation in 3.).

Tip: If the IntelliSense in Studio Code Server stops working press Shift+Command+P (Mac) / Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) and search for deno: Restart Language Server. Also make sure the dependencies are cached. If they are not cached, Studio Code Server will underline all missing dependencies with red. You can go with the coursor to the dependency and press Command+. (Mac) / Ctrl+. (Windows/Linux) and select Cache "dependency" and its dependencies. After a few seconds it should be cached and the underline should go away. Note: This has no effect on the script itself. This is just for Studio Code Server.

This addon creates an importa_map.json file in reactive-home/ with an import alias for you to use. The alias is reactive-home and gets updated to the current addon version at every startup.

You can use it like this:

import { useAsyncState } from 'reactive-home';

const state = await useAsyncState('some entity id');
//    ^? state is a reactive value

Currently, there is no real documentation. You can use the example scripts from test-modules in this repo and the auto generated deno documentation.

Everything here is based on @vue/reactivity. You can find more informations here.
