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.
USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl
That's concerning.
Ooooh! Finally. I have needed something like this to control the volume on my media PC.
I used to have an automation that detects when my HVAC turns on, and it bumps the volume of whatever I’m playing up a few clicks. Then turns it back down when the HVAC cycle finishes. Super handy due to the crazy loud HVAC in my house.
Been using this for several months now and it's been great. I even set up scripts to set my next boot to be Windows when I know I'll be gaming with friends using a game on GamePass so it'll be booted and ready when game night is about to start.
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.
This is super useful, thanks for sharing!
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.
Yeah the nodered flow on the target device is for handling shutdown(sleep) and status reporting back to HomeAssistant, so in HA the computer is a simple switch with on/off states
I'm definately going to try this, I was using Hass.Agent before switching to Linux and am looking for someting similar.
Very cool
