# homecore-server
|
||||
|
||||
Integrated HOMECORE server binary that wires state machine, API, recorder, plugins, automations, intent assistant, and HomeKit bridge into one process.

|
||||
|
||||
The production-ready HOMECORE binary — boots all 7 subsystems (core, API, recorder, plugins, automation, assist, HAP bridge) in a single process listening on `:8123`.
|
||||
|
||||
## What this crate does
|
||||
|
||||
`homecore-server` is the integration point for the entire HOMECORE ecosystem. It orchestrates:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **HomeCore runtime** — state machine, event bus, service registry
|
||||
2. **REST + WebSocket API** — Axum server on `:8123` (HA-compatible)
|
||||
3. **SQLite Recorder** — persists all state changes to disk
|
||||
4. **Plugin Registry** — loads and manages integrations (InProcessRuntime by default)
|
||||
5. **Automation Engine** — evaluates triggers, conditions, and actions
|
||||
6. **Assist Pipeline** — intent recognition and execution
|
||||
7. **HAP Bridge** — exposes accessories to HomeKit
|
||||
|
||||
All subsystems share the same `HomeCore` instance, so state changes flow through the event bus and trigger automations, record history, and notify WebSocket subscribers in lockstep.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Single unified process** — no external microservices; run with `cargo run -p homecore-server`
|
||||
- **HA-compatible REST API** — drop-in replacement for Home Assistant's `/api/` on `:8123`
|
||||
- **SQLite state history** — persistent recording of all state changes
|
||||
- **Automation engine** — YAML-driven trigger→condition→action execution
|
||||
- **Intent assistant** — regex-based (P1) intent recognition + service calling
|
||||
- **HomeKit bridge** — exposes HOMECORE entities as HomeKit accessories
|
||||
- **Plugin system** — load first-party Rust plugins; Wasmtime WASM plugins (P2, `--features wasmtime`)
|
||||
- **Configurable via CLI + env vars** — no YAML required; sensible defaults
|
||||
- **Structured logging** — tracing output with `RUST_LOG` filtering
|
||||
- **Feature-gated subsystems** — disable recorder (`--no-recorder`), enable ruvector/wasmtime as needed
|
||||
|
||||
## Subsystems
|
||||
|
||||
| Subsystem | Crate | Role | Notes |
|
||||
|-----------|-------|------|-------|
|
||||
| State Machine | `homecore` | Core domain model | All other subsystems depend on this |
|
||||
| REST API | `homecore-api` | HTTP boundary | Listens on `:8123`; Axum framework |
|
||||
| Recorder | `homecore-recorder` | Persistence | SQLite; optional `--no-recorder` |
|
||||
| Plugins | `homecore-plugins` | Extension system | InProcessRuntime default; Wasmtime w/ feature |
|
||||
| Automation | `homecore-automation` | Trigger execution | Subscribes to event bus; YAML-driven |
|
||||
| Assist | `homecore-assist` | Intent pipeline | Regex recognizer (P1); semantic (P2) |
|
||||
| HAP Bridge | `homecore-hap` | HomeKit export | Accessories + characteristics; mDNS (P2) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
**Basic startup** (in-memory recorder):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo build -p homecore-server
|
||||
./target/debug/homecore-server
|
||||
# Listens on http://localhost:8123
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**With persistent SQLite**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./target/debug/homecore-server \
|
||||
--bind 0.0.0.0:8123 \
|
||||
--db sqlite:~/.homecore/home.db \
|
||||
--location-name "My Home"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Full feature build** (ruvector semantic search + Wasmtime plugins):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo build -p homecore-server --features ruvector,wasmtime --release
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Via Docker** (Dockerfile planned P2):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker run -p 8123:8123 \
|
||||
-e HOMECORE_DB=sqlite:///data/home.db \
|
||||
-v ~/.homecore:/data \
|
||||
homecore-server:latest
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Test the API**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List all entities
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8123/api/states
|
||||
|
||||
# Set a light to "on"
|
||||
curl -X POST \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"state":"on","attributes":{"brightness":200}}' \
|
||||
http://localhost:8123/api/states/light.kitchen
|
||||
|
||||
# WebSocket subscription (real-time state changes)
|
||||
wscat -c ws://localhost:8123/api/websocket
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration via env**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export HOMECORE_BIND="0.0.0.0:8123"
|
||||
export HOMECORE_DB="sqlite:~/.homecore/home.db"
|
||||
export HOMECORE_LOCATION="Living Room"
|
||||
export RUST_LOG="homecore=debug,homecore_api=info"
|
||||
./target/debug/homecore-server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI Options
|
||||
|
||||
| Flag | Env Var | Default | Description |
|
||||
|------|---------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `--bind` | `HOMECORE_BIND` | `0.0.0.0:8123` | REST API listen address |
|
||||
| `--db` | `HOMECORE_DB` | `sqlite::memory:` | SQLite path (`:memory:` for ephemeral) |
|
||||
| `--location-name` | `HOMECORE_LOCATION` | `Home` | Friendly name returned by `/api/config` |
|
||||
| `--no-recorder` | — | off | Disable SQLite recorder (low-resource deployments) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison to Home Assistant
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Home Assistant | homecore-server |
|
||||
|--------|----------------|-----------------|
|
||||
| Architecture | Python asyncio monolith | Rust async Tokio + component traits |
|
||||
| API protocol | `/api/` REST (HA wire format) | Identical HA wire format |
|
||||
| Persistence | SQLite + YAML files | SQLite (P1); Redis (P2) |
|
||||
| Plugins | Python integrations in `homeassistant/components/` | Rust (P1) + WASM (P2) |
|
||||
| Automation execution | Python asyncio event loop | Tokio async tasks + trait-based |
|
||||
| HomeKit bridge | Via `homekit` integration | Built-in `homecore-hap` subsystem |
|
||||
| CLI | `hass` command with config YAML | `homecore-server` with feature flags |
|
||||
| Scalability | Single instance (HA Cloud for scale) | Can be load-balanced (future) |
|
||||
| Binary size | ~200 MB (Python + deps) | ~50 MB (Rust, release build; 200 MB w/ wasmtime) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Targets (unreleased; TBD)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Startup time** — < 2s to listen on `:8123`
|
||||
- **REST endpoint latency** — p50 < 1 ms; p99 < 10 ms
|
||||
- **Event bus throughput** — 10,000+ events/sec
|
||||
- **Automation evaluation** — < 100 μs per trigger
|
||||
- **Concurrent WebSocket connections** — 10,000+
|
||||
- **Memory footprint** — ~100 MB (idle); ~500 MB with 1,000 recorded states
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
**Run tests**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo test -p homecore-server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Enable debug logging**:
|
||||
