Supervisor: Feature Request: Fire an event once snapshot is complete

Created on 27 Apr 2019 · 10Comments · Source: home-assistant/supervisor

Bump of #839.

After spending some time looking around, looks like the current consensus is to use the delay action, which is... less than ideal. Having a proper event fired when the snapshot is done would make a lot of things much more reliable.

My use-case is to upload the snapshot to dropbox/google drive after the snapshot is available.

While this would work indeed, I still think we should have an event. After a quick look at the code, it looks like the plugin sets up a file system watcher to work around the lack of event.
This seems overly complicated and prone to errors while a simple event after snapshot would fit quite well into the Home-assistant pattern and simplify things a lot.

Perhaps I could instead recommend this add-on? It doesn't do what you're asking for, but it does manage the work of putting snapshots into Google Drive reliably.

I would like this as well, the "upload snapshots to dropbox" add-on could also benefit from this functionality.
