Docker based Home Assistant and CCU on Raspbian
Michael Dipper 03.05.2020
While setting up my smarthome solution the intention was to run all components on a single Raspberry Pi 3B+. Various componente had to be integrated:
Hardware
- Raspberry PI 3B+
- ELV “Charly” Case with RPI-RF-MOD
- External antenna
- SML Smart Meter adapter
- Various (wireless) Homematic IP sensors and actors
Software
- Home Assistant Supervised
- Homematic CCU3
To get a flexible and modularized system I decided to have all components in docker containers. Therefore solutions like Raspberymatic are no option since they use a different container/virtualization technique.
The following script describes how to setup the environment.
Prepare
- Flash Debian Buster Lite to SDcard
- Enable “ssh” on SDcard
- Boot Raspi and SSH to the system
- Start raspi-config and set timezone and WiFi zone
Initial system update
apt update apt upgrade
Adjust hostname in the following files:
/etc/hosts /etc/hostname
reboot
Install Home Assistant
These steps are taken from the official Home Assistant documentation:
apt-get install -y software-properties-common apparmor-utils apt-transport-https avahi-daemon ca-certificates curl dbus jq network-manager socat systemctl disable ModemManager systemctl stop ModemManager
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/master/installer.sh" | bash -s -- -m raspberrypi3
Wait for 10-20 minutes …
Tip: The deploy.sh script will try to install the pivccu packages for you. If it does not work please follow the instructions to install pivccu-modules-dkms, pivccu-devicetree-armbian (if you are on Armbian) and pivccu-modules-raspberrypi (if you use a Raspberry with Raspbian).
Install CCU
Furtunately there is a docker image for CCU available:
cd ~ apt-get install git git clone https://github.com/angelnu/docker-ccu cd docker-ccu
./deploy.sh
Verify
Check if all containers are up and running:
