This plugin is not yet published to the official Loupedeck Store. Only available for Windows, tested with Loupedeck Live.

Configuration

• Create the following path & file in your home folder: C:/Users/<USERNAME>/.loupedeck/homeassistant/homeassistant.json
• Copy & Paste the example into the file
• Replace token and URL
  • for the URL you can simply use the URL from your browser, the plugin will do the rest
  • using the Nabu Casa-URL is possible but not recommended, especially in a LAN setup
  • you must not add a path to the URL, it will be ignored and replaced with /api/websocket

Examples:

{
    "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR......",
    "url": "http://your.home.assistant.host:8123"
}

{
    "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR......",
    "url": "https://your.home.assistant.host"
}

If you are already using Lubedas Home-Assistant Plugin you don't have to do anything, this plugin uses the same type of configuration but ignores any other configuration settings except token and url.

Home-Assistant Token

To get a token you have to log into your Home-Assistant, then go to your Profile page. At the bottom you can create a token. Someone explained it here as well.

Bugs & Issues

• Climate Control, current state is WIP
  • visually different to others, no icons, no colors
  • only shows the current state reported from HA
  • if you change the value with a knob you won't see the result until it is synced with the thermostat
    • with sleeping devices this can take a couple of minutes depending on your configuration

Icons

All icons used from the Material Design Icons group and are licensed by them.
