A hands-on walkthrough of integrating TrueNAS with Home Assistant via a HACS community integration. The setup exposes NAS entities (disks, storage pools, VMs, network shares, snapshot tasks) as Home Assistant devices, enabling custom dashboards and cross-system automations. Example automations include auto-snapshotting pools when capacity thresholds are hit, triggering cloud sync after Proxmox backups, and stopping companion apps when a parent VM shuts down. The post also covers a compatibility issue with TrueNAS 26's switch from REST API to JSON-RPC 2.0 over WebSocket, and how switching to the beta integration version (1.4b4) resolves it.
