Python Wrapper for Homeassistant's REST API

HomeassistantAPI

Python wrapper for Homeassistant's Websocket API and REST API

Note: As of this comment the REST API is not getting any new features or endpoints. However, it is not going to be deprecated according to this comment But it is recommended to use the Websocket API for new integrations.

REST API Examples

from homeassistant_api import Client

with Client(
    '<API Server URL>', # i.e. 'http://homeassistant.local:8123/api/'
    '<Your Long Lived Access-Token>'
) as client:
    light = client.trigger_service('light', 'turn_on', entity_id="light.living_room")

All the methods also support async/await! Just prefix the method with async_ and pass the use_async=True argument to the Client constructor. Then you can use the methods as coroutines (i.e. await light.async_turn_on(...)).

import asyncio
from homeassistant_api import Client

async def main():
    with Client(
        '<REST API Server URL>', # i.e. 'http://homeassistant.local:8123/api/'
        '<Your Long Lived Access-Token>',
        use_async=True
    ) as client:
    light = await client.async_trigger_service('light', 'turn_on', entity_id="light.living_room")

asyncio.run(main())

Websocket API Example

from homeassistant_api import WebsocketClient

with WebsocketClient(
    '<WS API Server URL>', # i.e. 'ws://homeassistant.local:8123/api/websocket'
    '<Your Long Lived Access-Token>'
) as ws_client:
    light = ws_client.trigger_service('light', 'turn_on', entity_id="light.living_room")

Note: The Websocket API is not yet supported in async/await mode.
