Welcome to AppDaemon’s documentation!

AppDaemon is a loosely coupled, multi-threaded, sandboxed python execution environment for writing automation apps for home automation projects, and any environment that requires a robust event driven architecture.

Out of the box, AppDaemon has support for the following automation products:

• Home Assistant home automation software.
• MQTT event broker.

AppDaemon also provides a configurable dashboard (HADashboard) suitable for wall mounted tablets.

AppDaemon is developed and maintained by a small team of hard working folks:

• Andrew Cockburn - AppDaemon founder, Chief Architect and Benevolent Dictator For Life.
• Odianosen Ejale - Core & MQTT Development and maintenance, fixer and tester.
• Humberto Rodríguez Avila - Document Meister and Code Groomer
• Daniel Lashua - Core Developer & JS/CSS/HTML expert and the one that drives them all crazy.

With thanks to previous members of the team:

• Rene Tode
• Robert Pitera
