Hacs/App Deamon or a more consistent installation path

[asosnovsky]

The current way to install this is as an HA addon. While, the containerized option is nice to have it is not a mainstream way to extend HA for none-supervised deployments.

we should leverage hacs as an avenue for installation or find a different way that would support all HA deployment types.

That would be great. It seems the backend is already python so could probably be made into an integration without needing to be entirely rewritten, and the front-end would likely just become a custom dashboard like energy or dwains

Have to agree that getting this added to the HACS would be great. It will make it so people who are less comfortable doing things can still use it which is the ultimate goal I think of making HA easier to use for those people who probably don't want to muck through code.

@nightshade00013 @Ulrar so I only briefly looked at this, what @Ulrar says feels the more 'correct' approach since I want this to be more universally available.
If either of you guys can help set this is up it would be a huge help :)

Hi, Is there a way to implement this as a Containerised application rather than a add on,I am not using supervisor option how can I add this to the containerised home assistant setup? ( may be using a LongLivedaccess token with the companion custom component like we used nodered with containerized homeassistant) https://github.com/zachowj/hass-node-red

@charithmadhuranga so I had some personal issues I've going through in the last year. I am planning to pick up the project again, and provide this through Hacs.
Unfortunately, I'm true only developer on this, and I gotta make the time to work on it properly.

Going from an addon to hacs is not a very trivial task. So if you bare with me, I will try to deliver on a Shortumation v2 that will be much easier to install :)

@charithmadhuranga
Also there is this guide for containerized that I made a while back (with tokens) https://github.com/asosnovsky/Shortumation/wiki/Installation#containerized--ha-core
