Home assistant add-on: Scrutiny

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


Scrutiny is a Hard Drive Health Dashboard & Monitoring solution, merging manufacturer provided S.M.A.R.T metrics with real-world failure rates. This addon is based on the docker image from linuxserver.io.

Features :

  • SMART monitoring
  • Automatic addition of local drives
  • Hourly updates
  • Ingress
  • Automatic upstream updates

Configuration

Webui can be found at http://homeassistant:8080 or through the sidebar using Ingress. Configurations can be done through the app webUI, except for the following options. It automatically mounts all local drives.

Note: Enable full access only if encountering issues. SMART access should work without full access in all scenarios.

Options

Option Type Default Description
Updates list Hourly Update schedule (Quarterly/Hourly/Daily/Weekly/Custom)
Updates_custom_time str Custom update interval (e.g., "5m", "2h", "1w", "2mo")
TZ str Timezone (e.g., Europe/London)
Mode list Operating mode (Collector+WebUI or Collector only)
COLLECTOR_API_ENDPOINT str Collector API endpoint URL
COLLECTOR_HOST_ID str Host identifier for collector
SMARTCTL_COMMAND_DEVICE_TYPE list Device type for SMARTCTL commands
SMARTCTL_MEGARAID_DISK_NUM int MegaRAID disk number
expose_collector bool Expose collector port externally

Example Configuration

Updates: "Daily"
Updates_custom_time: "12h"
TZ: "Europe/London"
Mode: "Collector+WebUI"
COLLECTOR_API_ENDPOINT: "http://localhost:8080"
COLLECTOR_HOST_ID: "home_assistant"
SMARTCTL_COMMAND_DEVICE_TYPE: "auto"
expose_collector: false

Custom Scripts and Environment Variables

This addon supports custom scripts and environment variables:

Installation


The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other add-on.

  1. Add my Hass.io add-ons repository to your home assistant instance.
  2. Install this add-on.
  3. Click the Save button to store your configuration.
  4. Set the add-on options to your preferences
  5. Start the add-on.
  6. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
  7. Open the webUI (Ingress based) and adapt the software options

Integration in home assistant


Integration with HA can be done with the rest platform in configuration.yaml.

The API is available on Home Assistant's internal network even when the port is not exposed. Use the add-on's internal domain name (http://db21ed7f-scrutiny:8080) to query it from Home Assistant or other add-ons. If you need to reach the API from your local network, expose the port in the add-on options and replace the domain with your Home Assistant IP address.

Two types of API endpoints are available:

For the detailed data, wwn can be found for each HDD within the Scrutiny app. For example: http://db21ed7f-scrutiny:8080/api/device/0x50014ee606c14537/details

Example to get data from the first hdd.
