I have added the project to packal. See http://www.packal.org/workflow/home-assistans

Thanks for sharing, @Browall! I'm happy for seeing a workflow for home automation. I personally think Alfred has a lot to do in this scope.

 

That said, Packal is an unmaintained project and not at all the best way to distribute your workflow. You better go with GitHub releases. Just share the workflow binary in the releases page for each released version (I also place it in the repo). A good practice is place your source code within a folder named src or source while the README, the LICENSE and the binary stay outside this folder. Additionally, use the autoupdate feature of alfred-workflow library to ensure the user has the latest version of the workflow.

 

Take a look on Alfred PDF Tools implementation:  https://github.com/xilopaint/alfred-pdf-tools.

Thanks, for all the info. I did not know that Packal is unmaintained.  I will try to get the GitHub release to work. 

 

Thanks for sharing info!

Hi @xilopaint,

How do I test if the autoupdate is working? I think I have done everything so it should be up and running. However I cant get Alfred to show the message that a new workflow is available. The current version should be 1.0.1. Do I have to commit a new binary as well in order to get Alfred to see that a new version is present?

Read the docs:

Currently, only updates from GitHub releases are supported.

 

There isn't releases in your repo. Furthermore you can ask @deanishe, the creator of Alfred-Workflow, to quickly review your code and tell you if everything is set for updates.

What version of macOS are you on?

 

GitHub recently changed their SSL settings, and the Python version on El Capitan (which is old and has very crappy SSL support) and earlier no longer works (with GitHub).

This is super cool and handy but it doesn't work with newer HA releases as the API password framework was deprecated. Any chance of updating?
