Home Assistant Tray Menu

Home Assistant integration into the Windows System Tray.

This enables the user to control Home Assistant entities from within the system tray. Compared to other similar libraries, this feels like a native Windows menu (similar to the one found in the Sounds tray).

For easy configuration, entities can be added, sorted, and edited using a GUI.

Installation

• Download from the Releases page and run the installer EXE.
• A "Windows protected your PC" message will pop up, click "More info" and then "Run anyway" This is a precaution from Windows because this application is not signed.
• Once the installation is complete, you should see the Home Assistant icon in your system tray.
• Right-click on the tray icon to open settings

Stack

• Built using electron-forge and react
• using @mui/material, @tanstack/react-query and react-hook-form
• tray implementation from https://github.com/xanderfrangos/twinkle-tray
