Home Assistant-Configuration VirtualL

Hello, This is my Home Assistant configuration. I have installed HA on a PC Server with UNRAID (OS letting you configure your system using any combination of applications, storage devices, and hardware, using docker containers, Plugins and Virtual machines) I am currently running HA on Docker Container -Which is currently is the most recommended way in my opinion.

(All the config will work as well with Raspberry Pi 3 B+, on Hassbian OR PROXMOX OS with Ubuntu Server 18.10 as Virtual Machine)- Except from custom scripts which I added an example that is suitable for these systems

I regularly update my configuration files. If you like anything here, Be sure to star my repo! Or consider making a donation

Software and Devices

Using Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X-SFP and DDNS, Which is routed through Cloudflare for faster access with CDN, Cache, Analytics, Avoid DDoS attacks and of course more security :) On my Server - NGINX to act as a proxy for Home Assistant, and others platforms in my System. and a Let's Encrypt to make the connections encrypted via SSL.

Voice Assistants:

The 3 Most Major Voice Assistant is working here!

Siri- Working Without flaws with the Built-in HomeKit Component The only one (for now) that support Hebrew! Another alternative to install Homekit is Homebridge

Alexa- The fun part, first I try to use the Home Assistant Cloud But, it was doing a lot of problems, So I made an Alexa Skill using Haaska v3 , Amazon developer accuont, AWS Lambda and of course the HA API so now everyting working excellent, and without the monthly payment.

Google Assistant- Working with the HA Google Assistant component setup is similar but easier then alexa, also and without monthly payment.

Devices:

All this devices are working perfectly at my Home-Automation System. before you start, make sure the device you want to buy have a Component OR buit-in API support to integrate into Home-Assistant with RESTful/Command line/IFTTT/MQTT
