The ``homeassistant`` sensor platform allows you to create sensors that import
|
2019-02-07 13:54:45 +01:00
|
|
|
states from your Home Assistant instance using the :doc:`native API </components/api>`.

# Example configuration entry

|
|
|
|
sensor:
|
|
|
|
|
- platform: homeassistant
|
|
|
|
|
name: "Temperature Sensor From Home Assistant"
|
|
|
|

With Home Assistant 2021.6 or newer, entity state attributes can also be imported.

.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This component is only for numeral states. If you want to import arbitrary text states
|
2019-02-07 13:54:45 +01:00
|
|
|
from Home Assistant, use the :doc:`Home Assistant Text Sensor </components/text_sensor/homeassistant>`.

|
|
Albeit 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:
