Home Assistant Extension

by geoph

A simple gnome shell extension for Home Assistant. Check the README on github for additional help! Main points: - You need to provide the url of your hass, a long live access token obtained from your profile page (on your hass web instance) and the entity ids of the entities you want to have as togglable. - In order to add some local temperature/humidity sensor, you may also provide a temperature and/or a humidity entity id (which should match the corresponding ids of your hass instance).

I have approved your extension. However, for the next version I suggest you improve the following: * the prefs could use some styling * URL needs a trailing slash, but easy to mess up * access token handling is confusing for some one who didn't read the extension source code * Weather is a confusing term for showing a single temperature and humidity value. Home Assistant can do actual weather forecasts and a user might want to show the temperature and humidity inside their home (true for me for example) * prefs values are loaded once on extension enable, extension should react to changes in real time * entity toggles use the entity id to derive a text to show the user. Would be better to fetch from home assistant the possibly customized name (I assume that's doable, but haven't checked) * You have detailed instructions in the README, but maybe your extension description text should make it clearer that one needs to read that This is promising, I'll start using it myself :)
