Proof of concept for controlling your HomeAssistant lights from inside a 2D Browser Game. At the moment lights are toggled when the player reaches a light.

Running it yourself

1. Adjust map to your Light entities

The map is created with a mapeditor called Tiled, which allows to create maps an basis of tilesets.

  • Open map.json in Tiled
  • Select lights layer
  • Select rectangle object over a lamp (S + mouseclick)
  • Set name of the objects to entity_id of your lights
  • Repeat for all lights
  • Save

tiled

2. Authenticate with HomeAssistant REST API

  • Configure CORS for localhost (or the host your running this on)

    // inside configuration.yaml
    
    api:
    
    http:
      cors_allowed_origins: 
        - http://localhost:8000
    
  • Authentication

3. Run local server

Whats next?

For the moment I just wanted to check out how to create a really basic game on basis of a Tiled Map and connect it with HomeAssistant. Ideas for the future:

  • Poltergeist - Create a map of a real location and let the user play a ghost which lets flicker lights. I think it could be fun demo for a Meetup or other event at our office.
  • Addon creation - Wrap it inside an Addon and make configuration easier, so that everyone just can create a custom map and only needs to upload it and is ready to go.
  • Do you have an idea I could do with it? Let me know ... :)
