Newbie - HAss Component

Development
1

I am trying to create a custom component for my Securifi Almond. It has a websocket api. I am not able to get a simple websocket client up.

This just starts off a separate thread and connects to websocket

import homeassistant.loader as loader
import logging
import asyncio
import json
import websockets
import json

# The domain of your component. Should be equal to the name of your component.
DOMAIN = 'pyalmond'

# List of component names (string) your component depends upon.

def setup(hass, config):
        async with websockets.connect('ws://<URL>') as websocket:
        name = str('{ "MobileInternalIndex":"garage_door_hass", "CommandType":"GetDeviceIndex", "ID":"16" "Index":"1" }')
        greeting = await websocket.recv()
        await websocket.send(name)
        almond_garage_door= await websocket.recv()
        hass.states.set('sensor.almond_garage_door', 'Open')
        return True
