Does this help?
There are several generic sensors available:
MQTT
Scrape
Rest
Template
HTTP
How do you interact with the API ?
ok, thankyou I have solve it,
I used this:
I send this API from my DIY Device:
curl -X POST -H "x-ha-access: YOUR_PASSWORD" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"state": "2.5", "attributes": {"unit_of_measurement": "KWh", "friendly_name": "Consumo"}}' \
http://localhost:8123/api/states/sensor.consumo
and I use this for trigger the Overload
binary_sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
sovraccarico:
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.consumo')|float > 3.5 }}"
friendly_name: 'Sovraccarico contatore ENEL'
Though after Home Assitant restart the “sensor.consumo” not exitst (DIY device send API
sometimes) I not have problem
