## Description

HAPass Invitations is a self-hosted fork of HAPass that creates shareable, schedule-controlled guest links for controlling selected Home Assistant entities such as lights, locks, thermostats, and fans. Guests use a mobile-friendly web app without creating an account or installing a Home Assistant app. It supports one-time or recurring access windows and can require guests to be on the local network before triggering actions.

## Common questions

### Can I create a guest link now but make it start later, or only work on certain weekdays and times?

Yes. The fork supports future activation with starts_at and recurring weekly windows that limit a token to chosen weekdays and a daily time range, while still respecting the absolute expiry.

### Can a guest view a lock, cover, or button link remotely while triggering it only from my local network?

For access-type domains only, the link and live state remain viewable from anywhere, but the action is refused unless the request source IP is inside the configured home-network CIDR. This is source-IP based rather than GPS-based, and the setting is fixed for the whole add-on.

### Can I expose a button or input_button entity, such as a gate relay helper, to a guest link?

Yes, this fork adds button and input_button domain support for guests. These single-action, stateless entities were not included in the original service allowlist.

### Does the admin UI automatically add every plausible entity to an invitation?

No. The optional entity suggestions only scan for access entities matching door or gate keywords and light-domain entities, then pre-select matches for you to review and adjust.

### Can I get a one-time signal when a guest first opens their link?

Yes. A distinct first_use activity event fires exactly once the first time the link is actually opened, which is useful for a guest arrival notification.
