I've created a tool to control my Home Assistant devices from the command line.
As i'm spending a lot of time on the command line, i was looking for a tool to easily turn on/off or toggle lights and switches, as well as play a short audio on a media player.
It seemed, that other CLI tools i found were not really focused on controlling devices, but on configuring Home Assistant. So i created a tool for myself: hctl
Features
- Support for Home Assistant
- Play local and remote music files
- List all Domains & Domain-Services
- Turn on/off, or toggle all capable devices
- Completion for
bash, zsh, fish and powershell, auto completing all capable devices
- Control over short and long names
- Fuzzy matching your devices so you can keep it short
