Easily deploy a complete Home Assistant server, with Websocket MQTT and Z-Wave driver support using Fabric!

Requirements before installation:

* You have a Raspberry Pi with a fresh install of [Raspbian Jessie/Jessie-Lite](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/).
* You are able to SSH into your Raspberry Pi
* You have a computer running Python 3

Installation instructions (all from your PC):

 1. Install fabric: `pip3 install fabric3`
 2. Clone the script: `git clone https://github.com/jbags81/fabric-home-assistant.git`
 3. Change directory: `cd fabric-home-assistant`
 4. Edit `fabfile.py` and add the host info of your Raspberry Pi.
 5. Build your new Home Assistant server: `fab deploy`
 6. Reboot your Raspberry Pi

Once rebooted, your Raspberry Pi will be up and running with Home Assistant. You can access it from **http://your_raspberry_pi_ip:8123**.

The Home Assistant config is located at `/home/hass`. The virtualenv with the Home Assistant installation is located at `/srv/hass/hass_venv`.

The All-In-One Fabric script will do the following automatically:

*  Create all needed directories
*  Create needed service accounts
*  Install OS and Python dependencies
*  Setup a virtualenv to run Home Assistant and components inside.
*  Run as a service account
*  Install Home Assistant in a virtualenv
*  Build and install Mosquitto from source with websocket support
*  Build and Install Python-openzwave in the Home Assistant virtualenv
*  Add both Home Assistant and Mosquitto to systemd services to start at boot

Fabric allows any of the underlying functions to be ran individually as well. Run `fab -l` to see a list of all callable jobs.

Tested with:

  * Raspbian Jessie
  * Raspbian Jessie-Lite
  * Debian 8 (Replace username "pi" in fabfile.py with debian user)
