companion-red-alert

A small python docker to alert the Companion when there is a red alert during an event.

Configuring Companion

In Companion, configure a button that will be pressed when a red alert is triggered for the configured zones. Make sure your Companion server is running on the localhost interface.

Building the Docker

docker build -t red-alert-companion .

Running the Docker

Setting envionment variables

• COMPANION_HOSTNAME: Companion server url including port, e.g. http://localhost:8000
• COMPANION_BUTTON_LOCATION: Page row and column, separated by commas, e.g. 1,3,7
• RED_ALERT_ZONES: Zone names to track, in Hebrew, separated by columns, e.g. "תל אביב - מרכז,תל אביב - עבר הירקון"
• TEST_MODE: Set this to True to send a test notification when the program starts.

docker run -d -it --name red-alert-companion --env COMPANION_HOSTNAME=<hostname> --env COMPANION_BUTTON_LOCATION=<page,row,column> --env RED_ALERT_ZONES=<zone1,zone2,zone3> --restart=always --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway red-alert-companion

Note: Logs will show the Hebrew names as reversed. This is normal and will work.
