Has anyone built a HomeAssistant add-on from yasdi2mqtt container?

I see a few of the people here in the discussion is using Home Assistant with Yasdi2Mqtt. I am curious if anyone has taken the effort to convert the container to a HA add-on so it can run within a supervised environment.
I took a stab at it, but the so far have not been successful in setting up the add-on.

Have a look on this PR: #25

Embarrassingly, I still haven't found the time to set up a local Home Assistant instance to try it out on my own, yet you can already clone/check out Fersaar:master to get the HA configuration.

@pkwagner .. Thank you! This is almost exactly what I was looking for, I wish I had noticed that PR #25 before.
It took me a bit of time to get it working, mostly because of my lack of experience with addon conversion. I learned a lot through this process.
A couple of points for anyone else in the future that wants to use this as an addon. Note, I am using the IP driver vs passing through a serial.

1. Place the yasdi.ini in the Home Assistant 'config' directory (where all your configuration.yaml) files are. The reference in the config.yaml points to that location.
2. The addon was stuck in a syncing devices loop until I created a 'devices' directory in the config directory, I also changed the config.yaml entry for the map entry to '- config:rw' .
3. currently, the version is set to 1.2 which may be and older version, so changed the config.yaml version entry to either 'alpine' or 'latest' . Both work.
4. In my case, I am using the IP driver, so I commented out the uart entry in config.yaml. ( you can also set false)

My config.yaml is here:
