A simple package to access & controll home-assistant from node.js using the websocket api.
$ npm install node-homeassistant
Create a new Homeassistant object:
const Homeassistant = require('node-homeassistant')
let ha = new Homeassistant({
host: '192.168.1.166',
protocol: 'ws', // "ws" (default) or "wss" for SSL
retryTimeout: 1000, // in ms, default is 5000
retryCount: 3, // default is 10, values < 0 mean unlimited
password: 'http_api_password', // api_password is getting depricated by home assistant
token: 'access_token' // for now both tokens and api_passwords are suported
port: 8123
})
ha.connect().then(() => {
// do stuff
})Access & subscribe to states:
console.log(ha.state('sun.sun'))
ha.on('state:media_player.spotify', data => console.log)Call services:
ha.call({
domain: 'light',
service: 'turn_on'
})You can subscribe to the 'connection' event to get information about the websocket connection.
ha.on('connection', info => {
console.log('connection state is', info)
})See the example folders for a working demo.
