Windows and macOS have similar clients (Hass.Agent for Windows and Home Assistant for macOS).
I’ve found these kinds of clients useful because I can remotely wake-up or sleep computers, track how long they are turned on for, and automatically pause my lights and music when my webcam turns on.
This is so cool, first MQTT-based sensor I’ve set up. Already had a broker set up with HA, but how can HA automatically discover which topic to listen to, know the vendor name and how to interpret all the data?
USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl
That’s concerning.
Can somebody shed some light on why this doesn’t create a systemd entry? It works when I manually run it specifying the config.yaml file but there are no systemd entries. I’m on Ubuntu desktop.
Oh neat!
I made a custom solution for WOL and remote shutdown using nodered and MQTT, but this is so cleaner than maintaining a custom solution
If you’re using it, Home Assistant natively supports Wake On Lan. This would only be able to handle the shutdown/sleep side of things.
I’m definately going to try this, I was using Hass.Agent before switching to Linux and am looking for someting similar.
