Home Assistant Developer Helper

This repository contains little helpers for testing and developing platform and/or components for Home Assistant.

REST (ha-rest.py)

The Flask-RESTful extension for Flask can be used to simulate devices locally.

$ ./ha-rest.py

Flask is running on Port 5000. The response contains various attributes with random assigned values.

$ curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5000/binary_sensor
{
    "name": "Binary sensor",
    "state1": 0,
    "state2": "0",
    "state3": {
        "open": "true",
        "timestamp": "2016-06-14 15:32:10.253225"
    },
    "state4": "FALSE",
    "state5": "off",
    "state6": "Close"
}

A sample entry for a binary sensor for the configuration.yaml file could like this:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: rest
    resource: http://127.0.0.1:5000/binary_sensor
    name: REST test
    sensor_class: opening
    value_template: '{{ value_json.state1 }}'

The available endpoints are:

• /binary_sensor
• /binary_sensor1
• /sensor
• /weather
• /sensor1
• /sensor2 incl. support for POST requests
• /auth_basic usable with username 'ha1' and password 'test1' or 'ha2'/'test2'
• /auth_digest usable with username 'ha1' and password 'test1' or 'ha2'/'test2'
• /ip Return the IP address of the remote system

Web (ha-web.py)

This script provides a Flask based web server that is storing sensor values in various ways. The server is running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/

• /sensor and /sensor/<name>
• /sensor_data.txt
