Ansible Playbooks

Installation

To use the playbooks you need to have a current version of ansible. Additionally, you should run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml in your cloned repository folder once to download the dependencies.

Playbooks

room-assistant

The room-assistant.yml playbook allows you to install and manage a cluster of room-assistant installations. For this you need to create an inventory file with the hosts you want to manage and their configuration. Below is an example for such a hosts.yml file.

all:
  hosts:
    'living-room.local':
      ansible_user: pi
      ansible_password: raspberry
      room_assistant_config: 
        global:
          integrations:
            - homeAssistant
            - bluetoothClassic
            - omronD6t
            - gpio
        gpio:
          binarySensors:
            - name: Motion Sensor
              pin: 17
              deviceClass: motion
    'bedroom.local':
      ansible_user: pi
      ansible_password: raspberry
  vars:
    room_assistant_global_config:
      global:
        integrations:
          - homeAssistant
          - bluetoothClassic
      homeAssistant:
        mqttUrl: mqtt://hassio.local:1883
        mqttOptions:
          username: room-assistant
          password: secretpass
      bluetoothClassic:
        addresses:
          - 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'

Note that instead of using user/password you can also use public key authentication if you previously setup your Pis to allow this.
