Pi-hole V6 Integration for Home Assistant

Original component : Pi-hole

The Pi-hole integration allows you to retrieve statistics and interact with a Pi-hole system.

Description

Due to major changes in the Pi-hole API, the native Home Assistant integration was no longer functional.

• Enable/Disable Pi-hole via Home Assistant.
