Home Assistant

Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform. An integration differs from an action: rather than running once at a moment, it publishes values continuously. Home Assistant sees the published values as ordinary sensors and can build its own automations on top of them.

1. Click + Add integration in the left column and enter the Home Assistant server details.
2. Open the integration and click + Add entity.
3. Select the value to publish and, if desired, assign a name. Leaving the name empty uses the value's own name.

Values not used by any rule can also be published. Reflex sets up the reading automatically, and reuses the existing reader if a rule already reads that value. Cameras used by the integration appear on its page with live video, so their status can be confirmed even without a rule.
