# Home assistant add-on: Free Games Claimer


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

[Free Games Claimer](https://github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer) : Claims free games periodically on

- Epic Games Store
- Amazon Prime Gaming
- GOG
- Live Games with Gold - planned

This addon is based on the docker image https://github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer

## Configuration

Webui can be found at <http://homeassistant:6080> (NoVNC interface - currently has issues on some machines).

### Options

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `CMD_ARGUMENTS` | str | `node epic-games ; node prime-gaming ; node gog` | Commands to run for claiming games |
| `CONFIG_LOCATION` | str | `/config/config.env` | Location of the configuration file |

### Example Configuration

```yaml
CMD_ARGUMENTS: "node epic-games ; node prime-gaming ; node gog"
CONFIG_LOCATION: "/config/config.env"
```

### Environment Configuration

All main configuration is done via the `config.env` file located at `/config/addons_config/free_games_claimer/config.env`.

If this file doesn't exist, it will be created at first boot with default settings.

### Required Environment Variables

Add these to your `config.env` file:

```env
# Epic Games Store
EG_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
EG_PASSWORD=your-password

# Amazon Prime Gaming
PG_EMAIL=your-amazon-email@example.com
PG_PASSWORD=your-amazon-password

# GOG (optional)
GOG_EMAIL=your-gog-email@example.com
GOG_PASSWORD=your-gog-password

# Notifications (optional)
EMAIL_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
EMAIL_SMTP_PORT=587
EMAIL_USER=notifications@example.com
EMAIL_PASS=your-app-password
EMAIL_TO=recipient@example.com
```

### Additional Options

For complete configuration options and advanced settings, see: https://github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer#configuration--options

### Important Notes

- **VNC Issues**: The NoVNC web interface is currently not working reliably on several machines
- **Recommended**: Use the `config.env` file for configuration instead of the web interface
- **Security**: Store credentials securely and consider using app-specific passwords where available
