From time to time I like to play a round of CS:GO. I’m also watching some tournaments on Twitch and always liked how they sync the stage to the game state. That is something I wanted to have in my own home.
Thankfully CS:GO provides a simple game state subscription that is easy to integrate into HomeAssistant.
A few hours later, the CS:GO game state integration was born. It adds a webhook to HomeAssistant that can be triggered by the CS:GO client. Some small logic parsed the webhook messages and keeps track of the game state to fire events in HomeAssistant. Those events can then be used to trigger automations.
Now everyone can immerse with the game.

My automation consists of scripts that perfom all the actions and automations that are triggering the scripts:

Have fun.
