Note
This doesn't work any longer as the usage of api_password
in requests in Home Assistant is deprecated.
Home Assistant ships its own very nice web frontend. This prototype shows an option to display values without the possibility of interacting with Home Assistant by the user.
A requirement on the client-side is existing support for the EventSource interface. This means that not all browsers are supported.
It's assumed that your Home Assistant installation is ready before cloning this repository. Change to your local Home Assistant configuration folder .homeassistant
and clone this repository.
$ git clone https://github.com/fabaff/home-assistant-sse.git
In the folder www
you will find an index.html
file and the folder that contains the CSS file.
Open the index.html
file and include the entities you want to show on the page in the entities
array. Check the "Developer tools" of Home Assistant to retrieve the entity ID. Please replace the periods (dots) with undersores in the entities.
var entities = ['sensor_cpu',
'sensor_time',
'binary_sensor_printer',
'sensor_time_beat',
'sun_sun'
];
Also set the API password used by your Home Assistant installation.
var source = new EventSource("/api/stream?api_password=YOUR_PASSWORD");
Launch your Home Assistant instance.
