Home assistant add-on: Epic Games Free

Thanks to everyone having starred my repo! To star it click on the image below, then it will be on top right. Thanks!

About

Epic Games Store Weekly Free Games : automatically login and redeem promotional free games from the Epic Games Store. Handles multiple accounts, 2FA, captcha bypass, captcha notifications, and scheduled runs. This addon is based on the docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/charlocharlie/epicgames-freegames

Configuration

Webui can be found at http://homeassistant:PORT.

There are no addon options. All configuration files in json format (config and cookies) must be manually added in /config/addons_config/epicgamesfree/ according to the documentation here for config files (https://github.com/claabs/epicgames-freegames-node#json-configuration) and cookies (https://github.com/claabs/epicgames-freegames-node#cookie-import)

If this file doesn't exist, it will be created at first boot.

The last release changelog mentions that automatic redemption is not possible anymore due to epic improvement on automation detection. A redemption link is sent to your preferred notification method instead of being automated (thanks @Shiroe93)
