The NetDaemon API
Warning
This section describes the 'Version 2 API'. We are currently moving all our new development towards the new HassModel API and encourage you to us that API for new development. The 'Version2 API' will be around long enough for reasonable adoption.
NetDaemon API
The netdaemon API is used to access Home Assistant features. The version 2 is based on System.Reactive API.
Schedulers
System.Reactive contains scheduling. We strongly suggesst using the built-in to make sure errors are logged and your automations works as expected.
Add new reference to your dev project file
Do a dotnet add package System.Reactive
on the daemonapp.csproj
(if you are not using the dev template your project is named differently).
Refresh the JoySoftware.NetDaemon.App
and JoySoftware.NetDaemon.DaemonRunner
to the latest versions.
New base class and imports
Make sure you are using System
and System.Reactive.Linq
. Also change to the NetDaemon.Common.Reactive
. Now you will not need async initializer anymore so use public override void Initialize()
. Forgetting to use new Initialize can introduce old async code bugs.
Change the baseclass to NetDaemonRxApp
.
using System;
using System.Reactive.Linq;
using NetDaemon.Common.Reactive;
public class HouseStateManager : NetDaemonRxApp
{
public override void Initialize()
{
}
}
