The Home Assistant Command-line interface (hass-cli
) allows one towork with a local or a remoteHome AssistantCore or Home Assistant (former Hass.io) instance directly from the command-line.
To use latest release:
$ pip install homeassistant-cli
To use latest pre-release fromdev
branch:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/home-assistant-ecosystem/home-assistant-cli@dev
The developers of hass-cli usually provide up-to-datepackages for recent Fedora and EPEL releases. Usednf
for the installation:
$ sudo dnf -y install home-assistant-cli
The community is providing support for macOS throughhomebew.
$ brew install homeassistant-cli
Keep in mind that the available releases in the distribution could be out-dated.
home-assistant-cli
is also available for NixOS.
To use the tool on NixOS. Keep in mind that the latest release could onlybe available in theunstable
channel.
$ nix-env -iA nixos.home-assistant-cli
If you do not have a Python setup you can try usehass-cli
via a containerusing Docker.
$ docker run homeassistant/home-assistant-cli
To make auto-completion and access environment work like other scripts you'llneed to create a script file to execute.
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-cli/master/docker-hass-cli> hass-cli$ chmod +x hass-cli
Now put thehass-cli
script into your path and you can use it like if youhad installed it via command line as long as you don't need file system access(like forhass-cli template
).
To get started you'll need to have or generate a long lasting token formaton your Home Assistant profile page (i.e.https://localhost:8123/profilethen scroll down to "Long-Lived Access Tokens").
Then you can use--server
and--token
parameter on each call or as isrecommended setupHASS_SERVER
andHASS_TOKEN
environment variables.
$export HASS_SERVER=https://homeassistant.local:8123$export HASS_TOKEN=<secret>
Once that is enabled, run one of the following commands to enableautocompletion forhass-cli
commands.
$source<(_HASS_CLI_COMPLETE=bash_source hass-cli)# for bash$source<(_HASS_CLI_COMPLETE=zsh_source hass-cli)# for zsh$eval (_HASS_CLI_COMPLETE=fish_source hass-cli)# for fish
Note: Below is listedsome of the features, make sure to use--help
andautocompletion to learn more of the features as they become available.
Most commands returns a table version of what the Home Assistant API returns.For example to get basic info about your Home Assistant server you useinfo
:
$ hass-cli info BASE_URL LOCATION REQUIRES_API_PASWORD VERSION https://home-assistant.local:8123 Fort of Solitude False 0.86.2
If you prefer yaml you can use--output=yaml
:
$ hass-cli --output yaml info base_url: https://home-assistant.local:8123 location_name: Wayne Manor requires_api_password:false version: 0.86.2
To get list of states you use state list:
$ hass-cli state listENTITY DESCRIPTION STATEzone.school School zoningzone.home Andersens zoningsun.sun Sun below_horizoncamera.babymonitor babymonitor idletimer.timer_office_lights idletimer.timer_small_bathroom idle[...]
You can use--no-headers
to suppress the header.
--table-format
let you select which table format you want. Default issimple
but you can use any of the formats supported byhttps://pypi.org/project/tabulate/:plain
,simple
,github
,grid
,fancy_grid
,pipe
,orgtbl
,rst
,mediawiki
,html
,latex
,latex_raw
,latex_booktabs
ortsv
Finally, you can also via--columns
control which data you want shown.Each column has a name and a jsonpath. The default setup for entities are:
--columns=ENTITY=entity_id,DESCRIPTION=attributes.friendly_name,STATE=state,CHANGED=last_changed
If you for example just wanted the name and all attributes you could do:
$ hass-cli --columns=ENTITY="entity_id,ATTRIBUTES=attributes[*]" state list zoneENTITY ATTRIBUTESzone.school {'friendly_name':'School','hidden': True,'icon':'mdi:school','latitude': 7.011023,'longitude': 16.858151,'radius': 50.0}zone.unnamed_zone {'friendly_name':'Unnamed zone','hidden': True,'icon':'mdi:home','latitude': 37.006476,'longitude': 2.861699,'radius': 50.0}zone.home {'friendly_name':'Andersens','hidden': True,'icon':'mdi:home','latitude': 27.006476,'longitude': 7.861699,'radius': 100}
You can get more details about a state by usingyaml
orjson
outputformat. In this example we use the shorthand of output:-o
:
$ hass-cli -o yaml state get light.guestroom_light ◼attributes: friendly_name: Guestroom Light supported_features: 61context: id: 84d52fe306ec4895948b546b492702a4 user_id: nullentity_id: light.guestroom_lightlast_changed:'2018-12-10T18:33:51.883238+00:00'last_updated:'2018-12-10T18:33:51.883238+00:00'state:'off'
You can edit state via an editor:
$ hass-cli state edit light.guestroom_light
This will open the current state in your favorite editor and any changes yousave will be used for an update.
You can also explicitly create/edit via the--json
flag:
$ hass-cli state edit sensor.test --json='{ "state":"off"}'
List possible services with or without a regular expression filter:
$ hass-cli service list'home.*toggle' DOMAIN SERVICE DESCRIPTION homeassistant toggle Generic service to toggle devices on/off...
For more details the YAML format is useful:
$ hass-cli -o yaml service list homeassistant.togglehomeassistant: services: toggle: description: Generic service to toggle devices on/off under any domain. Same usage as the light.turn_on, switch.turn_on, etc. services. fields: entity_id: description: The entity_id of the device to toggle on/off. example: light.living_room
You can get history about one or more entities, here getting state changes for the last50 minutes:
$ hass-cli statehistory --since 50m light.kitchen_light_1 binary_sensor.presence_kitchen ENTITY DESCRIPTION STATE CHANGED binary_sensor.presence_kitchen Kitchen Motion off 2019-01-27T23:19:55.322474+00:00 binary_sensor.presence_kitchen Kitchen Motion on 2019-01-27T23:21:44.015071+00:00 binary_sensor.presence_kitchen Kitchen Motion off 2019-01-27T23:22:02.330566+00:00 light.kitchen_light_1 Kitchen Light 1 on 2019-01-27T23:19:55.322474+00:00 light.kitchen_light_1 Kitchen Light 1 off 2019-01-27T23:36:45.254266+00:00
The data is sorted by default as Home Assistant returns it, thus for history it is usefulto sort by a property:
$ hass-cli --sort-by last_changed statehistory --since 50m light.kitchen_light_1 binary_sensor.presence_kitchenENTITY DESCRIPTION STATE CHANGEDbinary_sensor.presence_kitchen Kitchen Motion off 2019-01-27T23:18:00.717611+00:00light.kitchen_light_1 Kitchen Light 1 on 2019-01-27T23:18:00.717611+00:00binary_sensor.presence_kitchen Kitchen Motion on 2019-01-27T23:18:12.135015+00:00binary_sensor.presence_kitchen Kitchen Motion off 2019-01-27T23:18:30.417064+00:00light.kitchen_light_1 Kitchen Light 1 off 2019-01-27T23:36:45.254266+00:00
Note: the --sort-by argument is referring to the attribute in the underlyingjson
/yaml
NOT the column name. The advantage for this is that it canbe used for sorting on any property even if not included in the default output.
Since v0.87 of Home Assistant there is a notion of Areas in the Device registry.hass-cli
letsyou list devices and areas and assign areas to devices.
Listing devices and areas works similar to list Entities.
$ hass-cli device listID NAME MODEL MANUFACTURER AREAa3852c3c3ebd47d3acac195478ca6f8b Basement stairs motion SML001 Philips c6c962b892064a218e968fcaee7950c8880a944e74db4bb48ea3db6dd24af357 Basement Light 2 TRADFRI bulb GU10 WS 400lm IKEA of Sweden c6c962b892064a218e968fcaee7950c8657c3cc908594479aab819ff80d0c710 Office Hue white lamp Philips None[...]$ hass-cli area listID NAME295afc88012341ecb897cd12d3fbc6b4 Bathroom9e08d89203804d5db995c3d0d5dbd91b Winter Garden8816ee92b7b84f54bbb30a68b877e739 Office[...]
You can create and delete areas:
$ hass-cli area delete"Old Shed"- id: 1 type: result success:true result: success$ hass-cli area create"New Shed"- id: 1 type: result success:true result: area_id: cdd09a80f03a4cc59d2943053c0414c0 name: New Shed
You can assign area to a specific device. Here the Kitchenarea gets assigned to device named "Cupboard Light".
$ hass-cli device assign Kitchen"Cupboard Light"
Besides assigning individual devices you can assign in bulk:
$ hass-cli device assign Kitchen --match"Kitchen Light"
The above line will assign Kitchen area to all devices with substring "Kitchen Light".
You can also combine individual and matched devices in one line:
$ hass-cli device assign Kitchen --match"Kitchen Light" eab9930f8652408882cc8cb604651c60 Cupboard
Above will assign area named "Kitchen" to all devices having substring "Kitchen Light" and tospecific area with id "eab9930..." or named "Cupboard".
You can subscribe and watch all or a specific event type usingevent watch
.
$ hass-cli event watch
This will watch for all event types, you can limit to a specific event typeby specifying it as an argument:
$ hass-cli event watch deconz_event
If you are using Home Assistant (former Hass.io) there are commands availablefor you to interact with Home Assistant services/systems. This includes theunderlying services like the supervisor.
Check the Supervisor release you are running:
$ hass-cli ha supervisor inforesult: okdata: version:'217' version_latest:'217' channel: stable [...]
Check the Core release you are using at the moment:
$ hass-cli ha core inforesult: okdata: version: 0.108.2 version_latest: 0.108.3 [...]
Update Core to the latest available release:
$ hass-cli ha core update
You can call services:
$ hass-cli service call deconz.device_refresh
With arguments:
$ hass-cli service call homeassistant.toggle --arguments entity_id=light.office_light
Open a map for your Home Assistant location:
$ hass-cli map
Render templates server side:
$ hass-cli template motionlight.yaml.j2 motiondata.yaml
Render templates client (local) side:
$ hass-cli template --local lovelace-template.yaml
As described above you can usesource <(hass-cli completion zsh)
toquickly and easy enable auto completion. If you do it from your.bashrc
or.zshrc
it's recommend to use the form below as that does not triggera run ofhass-cli
itself.
For zsh:
eval"$(_HASS_CLI_COMPLETE=source_zsh hass-cli)"
For bash:
eval"$(_HASS_CLI_COMPLETE=source hass-cli)"
Once enabled there is autocompletion for commands and for certain attributes like entities:
$ hass-cli state get 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_2light.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_2light.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[...]
Note: For this to work you'll need to have setup the following environmentvariables if your Home Assistant installation is secured and not running onlocalhost:8123:
export HASS_SERVER=http://homeassistant.local:8123export HASS_TOKEN=eyJ0eXAiO-----------------------ed8mj0NP8

Clone the git repository and
$ pip3 install --editable.
Developing is (re)using as much as possible fromHome Assistant development setup.
Recommended way to develop is to use virtual environment to ensure isolationfrom rest of your system using the following steps:
Clone the git repository and do the following:
$ python3 -m venv.$source bin/activate$ script/setup
after this you should be able to edit the source code and runninghass-cli
directly:
$ hass-cli
