Owncast Parser

Custom component for Home Assistant which returns the status of an Owncast as an entity.

Installation (via HACS as a custom repository)

1. In Home Assistant, go to your HACS Settings and add open Custom Repositories.
2. Enter this repository URL, set Category = Integration, then Add.
3. Find Owncast Parser in HACS, Install.

Configuration (UI)

Go to Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration, search for Owncast Parser, and enter your server details.

Configuration (YAML — deprecated)

YAML configuration still works but will auto-import as a config entry on startup. A deprecation warning will be logged. You may remove the YAML block after the first import.

A not-insignificant amount of the hass custom_component interface logic was cribbed from Feedparser. Please show the project some love if you can.
