# Home assistant add-on: Fireflyiii fints importer


I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons

If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

## About

["Firefly III"](https://www.firefly-iii.org) is a (self-hosted) manager for your personal finances. It can help you keep track of your expenses and income, so you can spend less and save more. This tool allows you to import transactions from your FinTS enabled bank into Firefly III. It comes with a web GUI that guides you through the process.

This addon is based on the docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/benkl/firefly-iii-fints-importer

## Configuration

Use the add-on `env_vars` option to pass extra environment variables (uppercase or lowercase names). See https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Add-Environment-variables-to-your-Addon-2 for details.

Webui can be found at <http://homeassistant:3476>.

This tool allows you to import transactions from your FinTS enabled bank (primarily German banks) into Firefly III.

### Setup Steps

1. Ensure you have a running Firefly III instance
2. Access the web interface to configure bank connections
3. Set up import configurations for each bank account
4. Configure automatic import schedules if desired

For detailed setup documentation, see: https://github.com/bnw/firefly-iii-fints-importer

### Options

| Option | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `Updates` | list | Automatic import schedule (hourly, daily2, daily4, daily6, daily8, daily10, daily12, weekly) |
| `silent` | bool | Suppress debug messages |

### Example Configuration

```yaml
