Firefly III Data Importer

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

My import method is capable of providing transaction data in close to real time, but the fastest update frequency is hourly. It would be useful to have the data available in Firefly III soon after the transaction, so if I need to add any extra details to it, I can do it before I forget about it.

Describe the solution you'd like

If it's possible, add a minutely option for Updates in the add-on configuration.

I found another way to do this by triggering the update from Home Assistant, so I will close this.

In case someone is interested, here's what I did.

I enabled the autoimport REST API endpoint by adding these variables to the config file for this add-on (by default /config/addons_config/fireflyiii_data_importer/config.yaml):

# the secret is required and must be at least 16 characters long
AUTO_IMPORT_SECRET: SOME_SECRET_HERE

# if this value is not set to true, you cannot import a local directory
CAN_POST_AUTOIMPORT: true

Restart the add-on and now you can send a post request to this url to import the files from /config/addons_config/fireflyiii_data_importer/import_files.

http://[HA-IP]:3474/autoimport?directory=/config/addons_config/fireflyiii_data_importer/import_files&secret=SOME_SECRET_HERE

You can do this from Home Assistant, for example by creating a RESTful Command in configuration.yaml:

rest_command:
  firefly_import:
    url: "http://127.0.0.1:3474/autoimport?directory=/config/addons_config/fireflyiii_data_importer/import_files&secret=SOME_SECRET_HERE"
    method: post
    timeout: 50

This creates a service rest_command.firefly_import that you can call from any automation/script/etc.
