Can this library be used to call services/fire events in HASS?

[Christopher Miller]

Trying to integrate home assistant into a dashboard app I'm building and its nice to get states of entities but I was wondering if I'm just being thick or is there not a way to fire events to home assistant from this?

[Paulus Schoutsen]

You can't fire events since that's a developer thing. It's available via the Rest API.

[Stefan Girlich]

Firing events is possible by sending a message as seen here: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/api/websocket/#fire-an-event

Example:

connection.sendMessage({
    type: 'fire_event',
    event_type: 'your_event_type',
})
