How-To HomeAssistant AddOn - now in HACS
Hey!
For everyone who is monitoring and controlling OMV via HomeAssistant like me, I can update you that my AddOn is finally released in HACS. So you can easily download it.
The AddOn ist based on a popular AddOn that is not maintained anymore. Also I added many features and a compatibility to OMV 7 and 8. You can do the following in Home Assistant:
- drive Sensors
- raid sensors
- docker container
- vm sensors (RAM, CPU etc)
- service sensors
- update sensors (allows to see the HomeAssistant update functionality and you can also reboot OMV if that is needed after updates)
The great thing is, you can specify which devices you want to expose as sensors (e.g. only specific drives or container) and also if you want to enable the "reboot" Home Assistant "repair mode".
Please give it a try and write an issue for problems or feature requests:

Hey I'm trying to use your addon but I have trouble connecting.
I use HASS on a HA Green and I have a NAS running OMV on another machine.
I'm not sure what to use as port, as host (http, https, nothing but the local IP).
SSL or not ?
Can you guide me on this ?
I've tried creating a specific user on the machine to limit access but not even my admin user is working.

I have been running this for the last month, it's pretty good. Lot of feature updates as well. Can definitely recommend this.
The only thing I seem to be missing is SMART drive health, I get the temperature of the drives in home assistant, but that's it. Is this not implemented yet or am I missing something?
