MMM-homeassistant-sensors

This a module for the MagicMirror. It can display information from Home Assistant using the home assistant REST API.

forked from: https://github.com/leinich/MMM-homeassistant-sensors.git

Installation

Navigate into your MagicMirror's modules folder and clone this repository: cd ~/MagicMirror/modules && git clone https://github.com/hubi-hubi/MMM-homeassistant-sensors.git

If you want to use icons for the sensors download the MaterialDesignIcons webfont from https://github.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign-Webfont/archive/master.zip and unzip the folder: cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-homeassistant-sensors && wget https://github.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign-Webfont/archive/master.zip && unzip master.zip

Configuration

It is very simple to set up this module, a sample configuration looks like this:

I hardcoded this to use a https option to accept selfsigned certificate on the homeassistant server. (see node_helper.js)

Here is an example of an entry in config.js

modules: [{
		module: 'MMM-homeassistant-sensors',
		position: 'top_left',
		config: {
			host: "YOUR_HASS_HOST",
			port: "8123",
			https: false,
			token: "YOUR_LONG_LIVED_HASS_TOKEN",
			prettyName: false,
			stripName: false,
			debuglogging: false,
			values: [{
					sensor: "sensor.processor_use",
					alertThreshold: 50,
					icons: [{
							"default": "chip"
						}
					]
				}, {
					sensor: "binary_sensor.sensor",
					name: "Hallway Sensor",
