Pironman Addon

Tutorial

Setup config.txt

You need to setup config.txt to enable I2C and SPI for Pironman.

This only works for Home Assistant OS, running on Raspberry Pi. Not for Home Assistant Container.

You will need:

• SD card reader
• SD card with Home Assistant Operating System flashed on it

Shutdown/turn-off your Home Assistant installation and unplug the SD card. Plug the SD card into an SD card reader and find a drive/file system named hassos-boot. The file system might be shown/mounted automatically. If not, use your operating systems disk management utility to find the SD card reader and make sure the first partition is available.

• In the root of the hassos-boot partition, add a new folder called CONFIG.
• In the CONFIG folder, add another new folder called modules.
• Inside the modules folder, add a text file called rpi-i2c.conf with the following content:

  i2c-dev
  

• In the root of the hassos-boot partition, edit the file called config.txt add four lines to the bottom:

  dtparam=i2c_vc=on
  dtparam=i2c_arm=on
  dtoverlay=gpio-poweroff,gpio_pin=26,active_low=0
  dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=13
  

• To enable RGB, selected one driver and make sure you set up the main board respectivly. continue editing the config.txt file:

  Earlier version of pironman only have one driver, PWM(GPIO12).

  • For PWM(GPIO12), it use audio to drive the led, so turn off the audio.

    dtparam=audio=off
    

  • For SPI(GPIO10), it use spi to drive the led, so turn on the spi, set core freq to 500. Enable audio if you need it.

    dtparam=spi=on
    core_freq=500
    core_freq_min=500
    # Enable audio if you need it.
    dtparam=audio=on
    

  • For PCM(GPIO21), it use PCM to drive the led, it doesn't need to set anything. But it will interfer with I2S device, so make sure you disable them, like hifiberry-dac or i2s-mmap. Enable audio if you need it.

    # Enable audio if you need it.
    dtparam=audio=on
    # Comment out the i2s device.
    # dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac
    # dtoverlay=i2s-mmap
    

• Eject the SD card and plug it back into your Raspberry Pi and boot it up.

Setup

Currently, you need to disable protection mode to allow the addon to access hardware informations.

To do so, in Pironman addon page, (Configuration -> Addons -> Pironman). Find Protection Mode, and turn it off. Then, restart the addon.

Change to the Log tab, and see if there's any error. If not, you can continue to the next step.

Development

Development instruction for addon developer.

Cleanup image cache

Image may not be updated after rebuild. To force rebuild, you need to clean up the image cache. uninstall the addon first, then run the following command to clean up the image cache.

docker image prune -af

Login the running addon container for debgging

Find the container name

docker ps

replace the <container_name> in the following command

docker exec -it <container_name> /bin/bash

Home Assistant Supervisor log

See supervisor log for appon reflash and install errors

docker logs hassio_supervisor -f

App Armor

Check if complain enabled

docker inspect addon_local_pironman | grep "AppArmorProfile"
