Hello Snap Team,
I would like to request approval for additional plugs as part of merging two existing snaps into a single package.
Background
Simple Hub, previously known as CyBear Jinni, is an open-source smart home system designed to control devices from different vendors (similar to Home Assistant and OpenHAB).
Currently, users need to install two separate snaps for different functionalities:
- cbj-hub (in the process of being renamed to simple-hub) – The main hub responsible for device control.
- security-bear – Ensures that devices remain accessible even after a Wi-Fi change, which is crucial for headless setups like Raspberry Pi.
Users also had to manually install additional packages like Node-RED and Mosquitto (MQTT broker) to complete their setup. To simplify the deployment process, we have decided to consolidate all required components into a single snap.
Request
As part of merging security-bear into cbj-hub (soon simple-hub), I request approval to include the following missing plugs in cbj-hub/simple-hub:
network-manager– Required to manage network configurations and handle connectivity changes.network-observe– Needed for monitoring network status to ensure devices remain accessible after network changes.
These plugs are already part of security-bear, and their inclusion in cbj-hub/simple-hub will ensure a seamless user experience.
Please let me know if any additional information or justifications are required.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Best regards, Guy Luz
