HomeAssistantPlugin for StreamController

Control your Home Assistant instance from your StreamDeck

This is no official plugin - I have no affiliation with Home Assistant, StreamDeck or StreamController.

Prerequisites

websocket_api must be present in your configuration.yaml. Remember to restart Home Assistant after updating your configuration.
You need a long-lived access token to connect to Home Assistant. To create one, go to your user profile and click on the Security tab. All the way at the bottom of the page is a button to create a new token. You can only see/copy the token immediately after creating it. Once you dismiss the dialog, you won't be able to retrieve the token.
Be very careful with your Home Assistant information and your token. If your Home Assistant instance is accessible from the internet, anyone with this information can access and control your Home Assistant instance.

Examples

A button showing the current weather with no service attached.
Actions:

Just one to show the weather text.

A button showing the icon of an input_boolean. Pressing the button calls the service toggle on the input_boolean and the color changes according to the state.
Actions:

Just one to show the icon of the entity and call the service.

A button to control a media player and show media info.
Actions:

The first action shows the media player icon, which is set according to the current media player state and the service selected for the button. In this case the service media_play_pause is selected so if the state is paused the icon is the play icon, otherwise the pause icon is shown.
This action also shows the current media title at the bottom.
The second action shows the media artist of the same entity at the top.

A button to show and control air quality.
Actions:

The first action shows the text and unit of measurement of a CO2 sensor with line break between value and unit.
The second action shows the icon of a ventilator in the same room at 50% opacity.
Pressing the button also toggles the ventilator on/off.
