LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent b2022.3.31

on GitHub

Note: this is a beta release!

This beta contains some much requested love for commands: you can now choose the entity type as which the command will be added to Home Assistant, and you can send custom data!

There's a wiki page dedicated to command actions, containing extra screenshots, info and examples - so it's worth having a look:

Features & improvements

• You can now choose the command entity type

  • Currently supported: button, light, lock, siren and switch
  • The selected type doesn't change the way the command is handled

• You can now send additional variables to commands

  • I'm using HA's 'action' MQTT topic, so I called them actions
  • Currently supported: Custom, Custom Executor, Launch Url and Powershell
  • You can use an action (the name works out) in your automations and scripts to publish your variables
    • For examples and info on how you can easily get the right topic, check the wiki page
  • This will trigger the command to run the specified value
  • You can either specify a command in HASS.Agent, or leave the command field empty (so only your arguments will be passed)
    • Either way, it's up to you to define the correct (escaped) quotes
