Home Assistant - Integrations vs Add-on's and Predbat add-on

In this video I explain the differences between Home Assistant Integrations and Addon's. I got on to talk about the new Predbat install as an add-on without AppDaemon.

Thanks Trefor, useful run-through of what the predbat add on is. Is there still a plan to make predbat into a HA integration, or are you going to stick with it being an add on? Also I think you alluded in the release notes that in time predbat within appdaemon will be retired?
I run another appdaemon app Octoblock to calculate the cheapest agile slots for the dishwasher etc so personally I'd keep with appdaemon as otherwise I'll be running an extra add on docker image. For others that only run predbat it wouldn't make much difference

I think the idea was to drop appdaemon eventually as its a lot of hassle to support and seems not to be easy to get bugs fixed in it.
