HassBot

HassBot is the chat assistant for the Home Assistant chatrooms on Gitter.

Purpose

The goal of HassBot is to help productivity in providing support to other users of Home Assistant.

1. HassBot should have a personality and sense of humor as part of being productive. Please do not submit entertainment scripts with no practical use for productivity.
2. HassBot should not flood the chat rooms, keep responses as short as possible or respond with a private message for longer responses.
3. HassBot should not annoy, insult, or harrass users. This includes scripting that returns false positives and posting when it shouldn't.
