Question: how to get a list of devices, and their attributes?

[wsw70]

Getting states is well documented.

I need to get a list of devices and from there build the list of entities that are attached to that device - I did not find this in the docs, is this possible with pyscript?

Pyscript doesn't do anything to make accessing devices easier (yet!). However, if you have hass_is_global enabled in your configuration, you can access the entire hass object. If you dig through the Home Assistant code and developers documentation, you may be able to figure out what is needed for this.

If you do, please share some code snippets. I'd love to see some device centered features in pyscript.

Thanks @dlashua. I will have to dig deeper then, because I not only need to retrieve the details of a device, but also the HA GUII-overwritten names of its entities (I create devices with a specific name, and then change them in the GUI when needed).

I will post that one I have gone through it (probably as a repo to the genius_app I mentioned earlier :))

@wsw70 Did you manage to query devices? i would like to be able to do this as well.
