I’m want to retreive if a light is in my room or not using WebSockets or REST APIs but I’m having trouble by retrieving the area_id of an entity.
When retrieving the state of an entity, it doesn’t return the area_id. Here’s an example:
{
"entity_id": "light.smart_light_strip",
"state": "on",
"attributes": {
"min_color_temp_kelvin": 2500,
"max_color_temp_kelvin": 6500,
"min_mireds": 153,
"max_mireds": 400,
"effect_list": [
"bubblingcauldron",
"aurora",
"candycane",
"christmas",
"flicker",
"christmaslight",
"hanukkah",
"hauntedmansion",
"icicle",
"lightning",
"ocean",
"rainbow",
"raindrop",
"spring",
"sunrise",
"sunset",
"valentines"
],
"supported_color_modes": [
"color_temp",
"hs"
],
"color_mode": "hs",
"brightness": 255,
"color_temp_kelvin": null,
"color_temp": null,
"hs_color": [
312,
9
],
"rgb_color": [
255,
232,
250
],
"xy_color": [
0.335,
0.309
],
"effect": "purple",
"friendly_name": "Smart Light Strip",
"supported_features": 4
},
"last_changed": "2024-06-02T17:11:56.211525+00:00",
"last_updated": "2024-06-02T17:11:56.211525+00:00",
"context": {
"id": "01HZCYZCNXHWNY0WP1PCNY42WH",
"parent_id": null,
"user_id": "f88050655e284d49ad0242ff4b4dfe9c"
}
}
However, when retrieving a device_id, it does return the area_id of that device. Is there any way to get the area_id of an entity directly?
Alternatively, is there a way to match an entity with its corresponding device and then retrieve the area_id of that device using WebSockets or REST APIs?
Any guidance on this matter would be appreciated.
