I got a Steam Deck last christmas and would like to make a fun Home Assistant project with it. The plan is too make a great looking docking station with LED’s that displays the charging state.
I already found a way too import the sensors of the steam deck too Home Assistant with Go Hass Agent.
Problem with this setup is that the sensors only update when the deck is on DESKTOP MODE, still need to find out how i can make Go Hass Agent run as a background service.
Not sure why the battery level changed to sensor.steamdeck_getac_battery_level for example . Just booted up my steam deck now in game mode and seeing the sensors updating on the device page (Sensors and Diagnostics)
How do you even begin to install Go Hass Agent? I downloaded the tar.zst file from the link you provided, but not sure what to do with it from there Thanks!
You were missing something though. The service kept on failing and eventually I figured out that the problem was that the terminal command needed to be go-hass-agent --terminal run it needed the run part in order to correctly execute from the terminal and the --terminal I added myself to make sure it ran in headless mode.
After that it correctly started the service and I was able to get sensors to work even when I’m in Game Mode.
I hope this helps some people trying to do the same.
How do you guys check if wlan has a connection or not? This sensor.steamdeck_lo_connection_state sensor is not present for me and I don’t see a state online for wlan0 sensors which should be all the wifi sensors
