libvirt home assistant integration
Hello libvirt users. I had fun with chatgpt (and lots of frustration) and created an integration I missed for some time for home assistant: a libvirt integration. view your libvirt systems inside home assistant, control them. (state and snapshot control) and have the display shown as a camera. https://github.com/Bram-diederik/home-assistant-libvirt-integration/ cheers. Bram Diederik

Looks cool based on the screenshots. Feel free to add it to the list of apps using libvirt: https://www.libvirt.org/apps.html by sending patch or MR against https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/docs/apps.rst I had a brief look at the code and I noticed that you use 'virsh' via python's 'subprocess.run'. Note that libvirt provides 1st party python bindings https://www.libvirt.org/python.html so you can use it directly rather than fussing with parsing text output from virsh
