# Home Assistant - Albert Python Extension
|
|
|
|
An [Albert](https://albertlauncher.github.io/) extention to view and control devices in your [HomeAssistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) instance.
|
|
|
|
This extension is heavily inspired by the home assistant extesnsion for ulauncher from [qcasey](https://github.com/qcasey/ulauncher-homeassistant).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
To use this extension, you need the Python `requests` library:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install requests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
You need to specify the URL and [API Key](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/api/rest/¦) of your Home Assistant instance in the configuration file (e.g. location: `$HOME/.config/albert/homeassistant_config.json`).
|
|
You can generate a new long lived API Key by clicking your name in the bottom left in the Home Assistant UI.
|
|
|
|
The item order is based on the entity class. Lights and switches are shown first, then scenes and groups etc. You can change the order in the configuration file with `sort_order`. See the default sorting order below:
|
|
```json
|
|
{ ...
|
|
sort_order: {"light": 1, "switch": 1, "scene": 2, "group": 2, "automation": 3}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
```
|
|
<trigger> <entity search>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can see the actions by pressing the `alt` key.
|
