oskar 1b48fad451 feat(ha): initial import of ken instance config
First production run of the api adapter against ken (192.168.31.7,
HAOS): 118 automations, 5 scripts, 3 scenes, 7 dashboards (default + 6
named — one registered dashboard was never configured, config_not_found,
reported not fatal), area/entity registries, and 5 input_* helper
domains present on this instance.

home-assistant (configs-as-code)

Status: skeleton. Structure and read-only import tooling only — no deploy path exists yet. See DESIGN.md for the full phasing, adapter, sync, and validation model, and for the open questions still blocking phase 2/3.

Layout

Instances: ken (RPi4/HAOS, LAN 192.168.31.7, api adapter — canonical home instance since the 2026-07-22 cutover), ken-legacy (PIHA, container homeassistant5, docker-exec adapter, archived — pre-migration instance, import only, never deploy), chelsty-ha (Tailscale, api adapter — see instances.yaml and DESIGN.md "Incident log").

Import

scripts/ha/import.sh ken
scripts/ha/import.sh ken-legacy

Read-only, and idempotent for both adapters — re-running against an unchanged instance produces no diff.

docker-exec adapter (ken-legacy): pulls the whole /config tree over ssh ... docker exec ... tar, filters it through .gitignore, normalizes and splits it into config/<instance>/, exports curated .storage/* into storage-export/<instance>/.

api adapter (ken, chelsty-ha): for instances with no filesystem/SSH access (HAOS has none). Pulls automations/scripts/scenes via one REST GET per object (/api/config/<domain>/config/<id>) and dashboards/area+entity registries/input_* helpers via the WebSocket API (/api/websocket) — read-only commands only, nothing that mutates the live instance. Full /config import is out of scope for this adapter; see DESIGN.md, "Deploy path: adapter per instance".

Both adapters also write a dated /api/states fixture snapshot to fixtures/ if a deploy token exists at ~/.config/ha-deploy/<instance>.token. For the api adapter, that token is not optional — see "Tokens" below.

Tokens

The api adapter has no filesystem fallback, so a missing or empty token at token_path (see instances.yaml) is a hard error, not a soft-skip — import.sh aborts immediately with a clear message rather than silently producing an empty import. See DESIGN.md, "Tokens", for how the deploy_agent account and its long-lived access token are provisioned.

The token itself never touches a subprocess argv or a log line: REST calls go through scripts/ha/lib/ha_api.py, which reads the token file itself and sets the Authorization header in-process via requests (never curl -H, which would put the token in that process's argv, visible to any local user via ps). requests (python3-requests) is a very common preinstalled/ transitive package on Debian-based nodes; if it's ever missing, import.sh fails with Python's own ModuleNotFoundError — install it the same way as python3-websocket below (sudo apt install python3-requests or pip install --user requests).

WebSocket dependency

The dashboard/registry/helper export (scripts/ha/lib/ha_ws.py) depends on the websocket-client PyPI package (import name websocket) — not in the stdlib, not installed by default. Install one of:

sudo apt install python3-websocket        # Debian/Ubuntu package name
# or
pip install --user websocket-client

If it's missing, import.sh ken still imports automations/scripts/scenes (REST-only, no extra dependency needed) and then reports the dashboards/registries/helpers step as skipped with an actionable message naming the package to install — it does not crash with a raw traceback, and it does not silently produce an incomplete storage-export/ without saying so.

Tests

scripts/ha/tests/test_split_normalize.sh
scripts/ha/tests/test_normalize_tags.sh
scripts/ha/tests/test_import_api_offline.sh

All offline — no network, no HA instance required. test_import_api_offline.sh covers the api adapter: normalization of real-shaped API responses (saved as fixtures under tests/fixtures/), idempotency, stale-file cleanup, and the missing-websocket-client error path (via sys.modules injection, not an actual network call).
