[Home Assistant] Support calling Services.

Extension

Description

I have defined shell command services within HA e.g.

# Exposes service shell_command.xxxx
shell_command:
  print_date: touch /tmp/$(date +"%m_%d_%Y")
  snapshot_nest_frontdoor: /bin/bash -c /config/nest_snapshot.sh
  reset_modem: curl -u xxx:'xxx' --location --request GET 'http://xxx/overview?reset=Reset' 

These are all callable within HA from automations or the dashboard. e.g.

It would be nice if I can call my HA services from within Raycast since most apps that use the HA API support calling services.

I realize that many services have associated input that might be hard to implement in an Extension but these services I am making take no input.

Who will benefit from this feature?

Additional functionality into HA

Anything else?

So you wanna have a Raycast command which list the service to call, right?

That is quite tricky to implement as you already mentioned.

Currently I have no time to implement but of course such a command would be quite helpful. Maybe also with deep link support to make it possible to have it as root commands.

I understand. Thank you for your response. I'll be happy to test it if this gets implemented one day.

@frakman1 I've now implemented a first version of services, see the linked PR.

If you like you can test it. I got the UI version workin as well, so you can switch between yaml and ui mode like on home Assistant itself.

There are many edge cases an currently many checks are not implemented, but at least I found a way to support it. I only support entities as target, device and the others needs to be added.

How do I test this feature?
I have the latest version of Raycast. Is there an option to upgrade the HA extension or do I have to uninstall and install it? If I have to update something manually, then please let me know what file(s) I need to update.
Thank you!

@frakman1 You just need to checkout the branch. After that open the terminal and CD into the homeassistant folder in the extensions folder.

Call npm ci and then npm run dev. You should be now be able to see a second home assistant extension. Configure it as usual and you should be able to test it.

Why is the repo that big (7.8 GB?) Source code repos shouldn't be this large.
I gave up on cloning a single branch after about half an hour

$git clone --branch ha-update-weather --single-branch https://github.com/tonka3000/extensions

@frakman1 Yeah, the raycast repo is very large. You should be able to use sparse checkout to just clone the home assistant folder.
