This is custom Home Assistant Integration for Canvas from Instructure.
This integration will create several sensor entities for different objects retrieved from the Canvas API using the Canvas Parent API python module.
The entities that will be created are:
- sensor.canvas_students
- sensor.canvas_courses
- sensor.canvas_assignments
Currently this integration simply returns the raw output from the Canvas API for these objects. There is a basic custom card for viewing Canvas homework assignments as well.
To install this integration, clone the repository into your Home Assistant custom_components directory:
[core-ssh ~]$ cd config/custom_components/
[core-ssh ~]$ mkdir canvas
[core-ssh ~]$ cd canvas
[core-ssh ~]$ git clone git@github.com:schwartzpub/canvas_hassio .In Home Assistant, navigate to Settings > Devices & Services and click + Add Integration
Select the Canvas integration.
Enter the following information:
- Base URL (https://.instructure.com)
- Canvas API Token
If you are a parent, you will have a Canvas Parent account. To get an API token, you must sign into the Canvas Parent application from a web browser. This is typically using: https://.instructure.com/login/canvas
Once you have signed into your account, navigate to Account > Settings.
Under "Approved Integrations" click "+ New Access Token" to create a new API Token.
Enter a Purpose and Expiration date (blank for no expiration).
Be sure to save your API token, as you will have to generate a new token if this is lost.
