Home Assistant

Control entities of any domain, restart Home Assistant and reload its configuration.

Any entity

homeassistant turn-on (on), turn-off (off) and toggle (t) work on entities of any domain that can be turned on and off. Unlike the other action commands, they take full entity IDs, and the target flags work across every domain:

ha-bridge homeassistant turn-off light.desk switch.monitor fan.office
ha-bridge homeassistant turn-off --area Office

update-entity asks integrations to refresh entities now, rather than at their next update:

ha-bridge homeassistant update-entity sensor.outdoor_temperature

Restarting and reloading

ha-bridge homeassistant check-config
ha-bridge homeassistant restart
ha-bridge homeassistant restart --safe-mode
ha-bridge homeassistant stop
ha-bridge homeassistant reload-all
ha-bridge homeassistant reload-core-config
ha-bridge homeassistant reload-custom-templates
ha-bridge homeassistant reload-config-entry 01JABCDEF
ha-bridge homeassistant save-persistent-states

restart --safe-mode starts without custom integrations. stop shuts Home Assistant down, and the bridge can’t start it again.

Reloading YAML integrations

Integrations set up in YAML whose only action is a reload each have a reload command: bayesian, command_line, derivative, filter, generic_thermostat, history_stats, intent_script, min_max, person, rest, statistics, template, trend, universal and zone.

ha-bridge template reload
ha-bridge zone reload

Helpers and other domains with more actions, such as input_boolean and automation, have their own reload beside them.

Location

set-location sets the home location, with an optional elevation in metres:

ha-bridge homeassistant set-location 51.5072 -0.1276 --elevation 11
