Home Assistant on Stream Deck
Configured via YAML (with templates) and running on Linux, MacOS, and Windows
Introducing: Home Assistant on Stream Deck!
If you use Home Assistant and want a seamless way to control it, you've come to the right place. With this Python script, you can control your Home Assistant instance via a Stream Deck, making it easier than ever to manage your smart home devices and scenes.
Key Features:
- ✅ Easy to use
- 🛠️ Highly customizable
- 🧩 Home Assistant Add-on support
- 🐧 Supports Linux, MacOS, and Windows
- 📁 YAML configuration
- 🏠 Runs from same machine as Home Assistant
- 🚀 Template support for advanced customization
- 💤 Automatically sync state of
entity_id
to turn display on/off - 🎛️ (NEW!) Stream Deck Plus with dial support
[ToC]
Why choose our solution over others?
You might have seen a similar project (cgiesche/streamdeck-homeassistant
) on Github before [†].
However, our solution is more versatile and allows you to connect a Stream Deck to the same Linux machine where Home Assistant is running.
The native Stream Deck software doesn't support Linux, but we've got you covered with the help of the python-elgato-streamdeck
library.

:link: Using !include
for Modular Configuration
Warning: This feature does not work in the add-on version of this library at the moment.
To make your configuration more organized and maintainable, you can use the !include
directive to split your configuration into multiple files, just like you can do in Home Assistant.
This is especially useful for large setups or when you want to share certain configurations across multiple setups.
For example, if you have a set of common buttons that you want to use across multiple pages, you can define them in a separate YAML file and then include them in your main configuration:
# includes/home.yaml
- entity_id: light.bedroom_lights
service: light.toggle
text: |
Bedroom
lights
- icon: netflix.png
service: script.start_spotify
In your main configuration:
# configuration.yaml
pages:
- name: Home
buttons: !include includes/home.yaml
...
By using !include
, you can keep your configuration clean and easily reusable.
Warning: Any other directives that Home Assistant supports, such as
!secret
or!include_dir_list
, are not supported by this library.

The configuration.yaml for the Streamdeck plus is very similar to the configuration for the normal streamdeck, you only have to add the dials for each page if you want to use them, you can of course also leave it if you dont want to use dials for a specific page. An example of a configuration.yaml with dials would look like this.
brightness: 100
auto_reload: true
state_entity_id: input_boolean.streamdeck
pages:
- name: home
buttons: !include includes/home.yaml
- name: room_1
dials: !include includes/room_1_dials.yaml
buttons: !include includes/room_1.yaml
Configuring the Dials
The dials also work very similarly to the buttons, you only have to specify an event type such as push if you would like to push the button or turn if you would like to make a turn event. Here is an example for a turn event dial that controls a light. And shows a ring indicator and the numerical value of the brightness.
- entity_id: light.testing
service: light.turn_on
service_data:
brightness: '{{ dial_value | int}}'
icon: >
{%- set state = dial_value() -%}
{%- set min = dial_attr("min") -%}
{%- set max = dial_attr("max") -%}
{%- set pct = ((state - min) / (max - min)) * 100 -%}
ring:{{ pct | round }}
text: >
{%- set state = dial_value() -%}
{%- set ha_state = states('light.testing') -%}
{%- if ha_state == "off" and dial_value() == 0 -%}
{{"off"}}
{%- else -%}
{{state | int}}
{%- endif -%}
state_attribute: brightness
allow_touchscreen: true
delay: 0.5
dial_event_type: TURN
attributes:
min: 0
max: 100
step: 1
Types of Dial specific attributes
Variable name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
dial_event_type |
The type of event that the dial should trigger. | None | PUSH or TURN |
allow_touchscreen |
Sets whether events from the touchscreen should be allowed | False | bool |
attributes |
A dictionary of attributes that are specific to the dial | None | dict |
attributes.min |
The minimum value that the dial can have | None | int |
attributes.max |
The maximum value that the dial can have | None | int |
attributes.step |
The step size that the dial should have | None | int |
state_attribute |
An attribute of an HA entity that the dial should control e.g brightness for a light | None | str |
delay |
The delay (in seconds) before the service is called. This counts down from the specified time and collects the called turn events and sends the bundled value to home_assistant after the dial hasnt been turned for the specified time in delay |
None | float |
Jinja variables
-
dial_value: The current local value of the dial (might be different from the states value if a delay is set)
-
dial_attr: A function that takes a string as an argument and returns the value of the attribute with that name
-
states: The current state of the entity in home assistant
Touchscreen events
-
If your streamdeck has a touchscreen you can switch pages by swiping left or right on the screen.
-
If you set the 'allow_touchscreen' attribute you can also use the touchscreen to set the value of a dial to the max or min value of that dial by tapping or holding the area of the dial.
Include variables
[!NOTE] Include variables work independent from the Streamdeck plus feature and can be used in every supported streamdeck version.
You can also pass variables with the include tag to the included file. This can be useful for creating templates and reusing them for multiple entities. Here is an example of how you can use include variables in your configuration:
page.yaml
- !include {file: includes/button.yaml, vars: {entity_id: light.living_room, icon_mdi:lightbulb, text: Living Room Lights}}
- !include {file: includes/button.yaml, vars: {entity_id: light.bed, icon_mdi:lightbulb, text: Bed Room Lights}}
# Other files you might want to include...
Anything that is within the vars dictionary and in the ${variable_name}
format will be replaced upon loading the yaml file when starting the application. Other text in the same format but not in the vars dictionary will not be replaced.
includes/button.yaml
- entity_id: ${entity_id}
service: light.toggle
icon_mdi: ${icon_mdi}
text: ${text}
In this case ${entity_id}, ${icon_mdi}, and ${text} will will be replaced with the values given in the !include tag.
