I know I’m not the first to use the Home-Assistant API in PowerShell, and the project is based on this post.

Anyway, I made this Module (or collection of functions) last year and published it yesterday on GitHub, the point is to interact with Home-Assistant from PowerShell, I think this can be useful. I am open to suggestions, requests and changes

Here is the guthub page:

Current functions and parameters:

  Get-HomeAssistantConfig
  Get-HomeAssistantEntity
  Get-HomeAssistantEntity -entity_id ENTITY_ID
  Get-HomeAssistantServices
  Invoke-HomeAssistantService -service SERVICE -entity_id ENTITY_ID
  Invoke-HomeAssistantService -service SERVICE -json 'JSON'
  New-HomeAssistantSession -ip HOME-ASSISTANT_IP -port HOME-ASSISTANT_PORT -token ACCESS_TOKEN

You can make a token at http://HOME-ASSISTANT-IP:8123/profile

I have some plans for the future. One thing I like to be able to do is to update template sensors with information from PowerShell. And maybe make is useful to make automations.

Nice! Could you tell me what do you use this module for? Maybe some great automation scripts on your PC? :slight_smile:

Right now, not much .
But it can be used to fast get information about entities and so on if you are familiar with PowerShell.
Also you can easly make HA-controlls in windows like:

One thing i want to implement is a way of updating a sensor of some kind with information from powershell. So you can get a scheduled task for example to update drive space and so on to Home-Assistant. Like System monitoring.

This is cool. You could use it to interact with the Toast via (BurntToast) and/or speech. I’ve been messing with MQTT with both for notifications.

This looks good. I am currently writing a PowerShell function to update a binary sensor using the HTTP Integration. Are you open to pull requests? I’d love to add my function to your module if that would be okay.

I am, :slight_smile: Just make sure it is not breaking any of the existing functionality
