Overview of Home Assistant#

The Home Assistant API unlocks the potential to automate and interact with your smart home devices programmatically. With Pipedream, you can tap into this power, triggering workflows based on events in your home, such as motion detection or door openings, and controlling devices based on external data sources or schedules. This integration allows for the creation of personalized, complex scenarios that can enhance security, energy efficiency, and convenience within your smart home.

Connect Home Assistant#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    home_assistant: {
      type: "app",
      app: "home_assistant",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://${this.home_assistant.$auth.hostname}/api`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.home_assistant.$auth.token}`,
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
