Home Assistant

Setup

1. Put the ingest token in secrets.yaml as botopticon_ingest. Do not commit the secret.
2. Add the rest commands, then reload REST commands.
3. The automation posts the status tile every 30 minutes. The KPI posts on the hour.
4. Change sensor.house_power to a sensor you actually have. The value must be a number.
