|
|
|
|
The ``homeassistant`` text sensor platform allows you to create sensors that import
|
|
states from your Home Assistant instance using the :doc:`native API </components/api>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Although you might not plan to *export* states from the node and you do not need an entity of the node
|
|
in Home Assistant, this component still requires you to register the node under Home Assistant. See:
|
|
:ref:`connecting-your-device-to-home-assistant`.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
text_sensor:
|
|
- platform: homeassistant
|
|
id: weather_fom_ha
|
|
entity_id: sensor.weather_forecast
|
|
|
|
Entity state attributes can also be imported:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
text_sensor:
|
|
- platform: homeassistant
|
|
id: effect
|
|
entity_id: light.led_strip
|
|
attribute: effect
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **entity_id** (**Required**, string): The entity ID to import from Home Assistant.
|
|
- **attribute** (*Optional*, string): The name of the state attribute to import from the
|
|
specified entity. The entity state is used when this option is omitted.
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Text Sensor <config-text_sensor>`.
