Command-line tool for Home Assistant.

Project description

Chat Status License PyPI release

The Home Assistant Command-line interface (hass-cli) allows one to work with a local or a remote Home Assistant instance directly from the command-line.

Examples:

Get state of a entity:

$ hass-cli get state sensor
hass-cli  get state light.guestroom_light                                                                                                                                                                       
{
  "attributes": {
    "friendly_name": "Guestroom Light",
    "is_deconz_group": false,
    "supported_features": 61
  },
  "context": {
  "id": "e257a0f15fe74579b4a693de65ed618b",
  "user_id": "4c7c32b2934f4deeb346bf8017e2bf28"
  },
"entity_id": "light.guestroom_light",
"last_changed": "2018-11-18T21:48:20.279802+00:00",
"last_updated": "2018-11-18T21:48:20.279802+00:00",
"state": "off"
}

If you prefer yaml you can do:

$ hass-cli -o yaml get state light.guestroom_light
attributes:
  friendly_name: Guestroom Light
  is_deconz_group: false
  supported_features: 61
context:
  id: e257a0f15fe74579b4a693de65ed618b
  user_id: 4c7c32b2934f4deeb346bf8017e2bf28
entity_id: light.guestroom_light
last_changed: '2018-11-18T21:48:20.279802+00:00'
last_updated: '2018-11-18T21:48:20.279802+00:00'
state: 'off'

You can edit state via an editor:

$ hass-cli edit state light.guestroom_light

This will open the current state in your favorite editor and any changes you save will be used for an update.

You can also explicitly create/edit via the –json flag:

$ hass-cli edit state sensor.test --json='{ "state":"off"}'

Auto-completion

For zsh:

eval "$(_HASS_CLI_COMPLETE=source_zsh hass-cli)"

For bash:

eval "$(_FOO_BAR_COMPLETE=source foo-bar)"

Once enable there is autocompletion for commands and for certain attributes like entities:

$ hass-cli get state light.<TAB>                                                                                                                                                                      
light.kitchen_light_5          light.office_light             light.basement_light_4         light.basement_light_9         light.dinner_table_light_4     light.winter_garden_light_2    light.kitchen_light_2
light.kitchen_table_light_1    light.hallroom_light_2         light.basement_light_5         light.basement_light_10        light.dinner_table_wall_light  light.winter_garden_light_4    light.kitchen_table_light_2
light.kitchen_light_1          light.hallroom_light_1         light.basement_light_6         light.small_bathroom_light     light.dinner_table_light_5     light.winter_garden_light_3    light.kitchen_light_4
light.kitchen_light_6          light.basement_light_1         light.basement_light_7         light.dinner_table_light_1     light.dinner_table_light_6     light.hallroom_light_4
light.guestroom_light          light.basement_light_stairs    light.basement_light_2         light.hallroom_light_5         light.dinner_table_light_3     light.winter_garden_light_5
light.hallroom_light_3         light.basement_light_3         light.basement_light_8         light.dinner_table_light_2     light.winter_garden_light_1    light.kitchen_light_3

Note: For this to work you’ll need to have setup the following environment variables if your home-assistant is secured and not running on localhost:8123:

export HASS_SERVER=https://hassio.local:8123
export HASS_TOKEN=<Bearer token from HASS_SERVER/profile>

Development

Developing is (re)using as much as possible from homeassistant development setup <https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/development_environment.html>.

Recommended way to develop is to use virtual environment to ensure isolation from rest of your system using the following steps:

$ python3 -m venv .
$ source bin/activate
$ script/setup

after this you should be able to edit the source code and running hass-cli directly:

$ hass-cli
