Hassette

A simple, modern, async-first Python framework for building Home Assistant automations.

Documentation: https://hassette.readthedocs.io

✨ Why Hassette?

• Type Safe: Full type annotations with Pydantic models and comprehensive IDE support
• Async-First: Built for modern Python with async/await throughout
• Dependency Injection: Clean handler signatures with FastAPI style dependency injection
• Persistent Storage: Built-in disk cache for storing data across restarts, intelligent rate-limiting, and more
• Simple & Focused: Just Home Assistant automations - no complexity creep
• Web UI: Monitor and manage your automations from the browser
• Developer Experience: Clear error messages, proper logging, hot-reloading, and intuitive APIs

See the Getting Started guide for detailed instructions.

🖥️ Web UI

Hassette includes a web UI for monitoring and managing your automations: Apps (app status, health, and detailed per-app views), Handlers (registered event handlers across all apps), Logs (real-time log streaming with filtering), and Config (runtime configuration and diagnostics).

The web UI is enabled by default at http://<host>:8126/ui/. See the Web UI documentation for details.

Terminal CLI

Query a running Hassette instance from the terminal — no browser required:

# Check system health
hassette status

# List all apps and their status
hassette app

# Investigate a specific app
hassette app health my-app
hassette listener --app my-app --since 1h
hassette log --app my-app --since 1h --limit 20

# Pipe structured output to jq
hassette listener --app my-app --json | jq '.[] | select(.failed > 0)'

See the CLI documentation for the full command reference, scripting patterns, and shell completion setup.
