WebSocket or Rest API and groups

Development
1

Hello,
I tried to communicate with HA and communication is work over WebSocket API.
But I can’t find the information about groups in the API.
Is it possible to read the groups information via WebSocket API or Rest API?

Thanks,
Bluefox

Frontend gets this info somehow… But how?

“Very active community” (quoted).
I developed the adapter to ioBroker, so the communication ioBroker <=> Hass is possible.

but I don’t know how to import rooms/zones.

With ioBroker it is possible to create really nice Dashboards, like

Hello anybody from the Home Assistant Community who can answer maybe bluefox question?

zones are available as entities in HA. You can interact with them like any other entity.

As regards rooms, there is currently no room functionality in HA. It will be nice to have room options in HA, but that will have to be proposed and discussed in https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture

To get groups and zones, query the states via the websocket api https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/external_api_websocket.html#fetching-states

Hi, any update on this?

Just now it is on ice. But ioBroker adapted now the lovelace directly.
