Not really an issuue but question: is it possible to create addon from your docker container?

[nldroid]

I plan to try your component for the Rotel integration but i have one challenge: i use Home Assistant supervised and while it uses docker in the background, i don't know if it's easy to add your container. It would be much simpeler if this would be an addon.

I haven't digged in to this yet so i don't know how easy it is to create an addon from a container but maybe you know. If not, i can look into it.

Hi nldroid. There was an "add on" integration here, which I think you can integrate via HASS:

https://github.com/elric91/homeassistant_rotel

It seems to be over TCP/IP rather than RS232, but the protocol is identical. I wonder if that would fit your bill, so that could be used/modified? The docker version for me is because my home assistant instance is some distance away from my Rotel amplifer - so the RS232 link cannot be directly plugged into my Home Assistant server via an add-on :-(

Yeah. Also found this one: https://github.com/claes/homeassistant-rotelserial/tree/master

Also was thinking of creating a solution with esphome and an esp32. Should be doable.

The rotelserial component is probably the easiest if it works.

Enough to try for me. Thanks.

Some extra info on what i've done since our conversation:

Nothing worked for me so i created an ESPHome addon for it: https://github.com/nldroid/rotel_esphome

This is more lightweight than the docker solution and might be helpfull for others too.
