Python Scripts for Home Assistant

hacs_badge

Custom component for easy run Python Scripts from Home Assistant. Better version of default python_script component.

Installation

HACS > Integrations > 3 dots > Custom repositories > URL: AlexxIT/PythonScriptsPro, Category: Integration > Add > wait > PythonScriptsPro > Install

Or manually copy python_script folder from latest release to custom_components folder.

Configuration

Important: The component replaces the standard python_script component!

Add to configuration.yaml:

python_script:  # no S at the end!

If you need to use additional python libraries, the component can install them:

python_script:
  requirements:
  - paramiko>=2.7.1

Use python_script.exec service

  • The component creates the python_script.exec service.
  • You can run an external python script located in any folder (use file param).
  • Or you can paste python source code directly into your YAML (use source param).
  • You can import and use any library in your python scripts. The standard python_script component does not allow this.
  • You can pass any variables to your script, just like in the standard python_script.
  • The component compile and caches the executable code for faster next launch. If you want change python file without reload HA, you can disable cache with the cache: false param.

Starting from Home Assistant 2023.7 the service will return all your script local vars with simple types as respond.

The following variables are available in the script:

  • hass - The Home Assistant API
  • data - The data passed to the Python Script service call
  • logger - A logger to allow you to log messages

Run script from python file

Show Home Assistant start time in Notification. Using my another component StartTime. Pass variable to script.

script:
  test_file:
    sequence:
    - service: python_script.exec
      data_template:  # use `data_template` if you have Jinja2 templates in params
        file: path_to/test_file.py  # relative path from config folder
        cache: false  # disable cache if you want change python file without reload HA
        title: Python from file test
        time_val: "{{ states('sensor.start_time')|round }}"

test_file.py

logger.debug(data)
hass.services.call('persistent_notification', 'create', {
  'title': data['title'],
  'message': f"Home Assistant starts in { data['time_val'] } seconds"
})
out1 = 123  # some var for service respond

Run script from inline source

Show your IP address in Notification. Using requests library. It is installed by default with Home Assistant.

script:
  test_source:
    sequence:
    - service: python_script.exec
      data:
        title: Python inline test
        source: |
          import requests
          r = requests.get('https://api.ipify.org?format=json')
          resp = r.json()
          logger.debug(resp)
          hass.services.call('persistent_notification', 'create', {
            'title': data['title'],
            'message': f"My IP: { resp['ip'] }"
          })

Example remote SSH-command run

This example completely repeats the logic of my other component - SSHCommand.

There is no paramiko library by default, but the component can install it. This will work with Hass.io or Docker.

python_script:
  requirements:
  - paramiko>=2.7.1

script:
  ssh_command:
    sequence:
    - service: python_script.exec
      data:
        file: path_to/ssh_command.py
        host: 192.168.1.123  # optional
        user: myusername  # optional
        pass: mypassword  # optional
        command: ls -la

ssh_command.py

from paramiko import SSHClient, AutoAddPolicy

host = data.get('host', '172.17.0.1')
port = data.get('port', 22)
username = data.get('user', 'pi')
password = data.get('pass', 'raspberry')
command = data.get('command')

client = SSHClient()
client.set_missing_host_key_policy(AutoAddPolicy())
client.connect(host, port, username, password)
stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command(command)
resp = stdout.read()
stderr.read()
client.close()

logger.info(f"SSH response:\n{ resp.decode() }")

Example using hass API

Example read states and attributes, call services and fire events in python scripts.

state1 = hass.states.get('sensor.start_time').state
name1 = hass.states.get('sensor.start_time').attributes['friendly_name']

if float(state1) < 30:
    hass.services.call('persistent_notification', 'create', {
        'title': "My Python Script",
        'message': "Home Assistant started very quickly"
    })

    hass.states.set('sensor.start_time', state1, {
        'friendly_name': f"Fast {name1}"
    })

else:
    hass.services.call('persistent_notification', 'create', {
        'title': "My Python Script",
        'message': "Home Assistant was running for a very long time"
    })

    hass.states.set('sensor.start_time', state1, {
        'friendly_name': f"Slow {name1}"
    })

hass.bus.fire('my_event_name', {
    'param1': 'value1'
})

Use python_script sensors

The component allows you to create sensors.

Config:

  • You can use inline source or load python code from file (relative path from config folder).
  • You can set name, icon, unit_of_measurement and scan_interval for your sensor.

The following variables are available in the script:

  • self.hass - The Home Assistant API
  • self.state - Change it for update sensor value
  • self.attributes - Change it for update sensor attributes
  • logger - A logger to allow you to log messages

Python source code are compiled and cached on load. You need to restart Home Assistant if there were changes in the python source file.

sensor:
- platform: python_script
  name: My IP address
  scan_interval: '00:05:00'  # optional, default: 30s
  source: |
    import requests
    r = requests.get('https://api.ipify.org?format=json')
    self.state = r.json()['ip']

- platform: python_script
  name: My DB size
  icon: mdi:database
  unit_of_measurement: MB
  scan_interval: '01:00:00'  # optional
  source: |
    import os
    logger.debug("Update DB size")
    filename = self.hass.config.path('home-assistant_v2.db')
    self.state = round(os.stat(filename).st_size / 1_000_000, 1)

- platform: python_script
  name: Instance external url  # more info https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/instance_url/
  scan_interval: '01:00:00'  # optional
  source: |
    from homeassistant.helpers import network
    try:
      self.state = network.get_url(
           self.hass,
           allow_internal=False,
      )
    except network.NoURLAvailableError:
      raise MyInvalidValueError("Failed to find suitable URL for my integration")
