hctl - ⌨ 🏠 A tool to control your Home Assistant devices from the command line

[glacial trench]

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

I already posted this on reddit r/homeassistant (https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1fztugb/control_your_devices_from_the_command_line/)

Since the reddit post, i've implemented some new features and just released a new version: v0.4.0

Project can be found here: https://github.com/xx4h/hctl

Happy to hear your thoughts, just drop me a message 😊

This is very cool, nice work!

Curious if you've considered publishing to homebrew to make macOS installation easier?

Thanks!
I just did (tried) 😁 Unfortunately it seems that the repository is "not notable enough" as of now. I guess i need at least 30 watcher, 30 forks or 75 stars.

I've added the formular to the hctl repo so it can be used as a tap, see https://github.com/xx4h/hctl?tab=readme-ov-file#homebrew

Gave it a watch for now and I'll check the tap, cheers

Tap worked as expected
