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
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:8080, or through Ingress. It automatically mounts all local drives.
Enable full access only if you are encountering issues. SMART access should work without full access in all other scenarios.
env_vars: [] # Required field, leave empty if unused
Updates: Hourly, Daily, Weekly
Updates_custom_time : if you select "Custom" as "Updates" variable, you can define specific updates in natural language in the "Updates_custom_time" field. Example : select "Custom" as "Updates", then type a custom intervals like "5m", "2h", "1w", or "2mo" to have an update every 5 minutes, or every 2 hours, or evey week, or every 2 months
TZ: timezone
Mode: Collector+WebUI or Collector only
Installation
The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other add-on.
- Add my Hass.io add-ons repository to your home assistant instance.
- Install this add-on.
- Click the
Savebutton to store your configuration. - Set the add-on options to your preferences
- Start the add-on.
- Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
- 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.
Two types of api endpoints are available:
- Summary data : http://YOURIP:ADDONPORT/api/summary
- Detailed data : http://YOURIP:ADDONPORT/api/device/WWN/details
For the detailed data, wmn can be found for each hdd within the scrutiny app. For example: http://192.168.178.23:8086/api/device/0x50014ee606c14537/details
Example to get data from the first hdd.
