Home Assistent architecture Web interface and API
---------------------
Home Assistent runs a webserver accessible by default on port 8080. At / it will provide a debug interface showing the current state of the system. At /api/ it provides an API so it can be controlled from other devices through HTTP POST requests.
To interface with the API requests should include the parameter api_password which matches the api_password in home-assistant.conf.
The following API commands are currently supported:
/api/state/change - POST
parameter: api_password - string
parameter: category - string
parameter: new_state - string
Changes category 'category' to 'new_state'
/api/event/fire - POST
parameter: api_password - string
parameter: event_name - string
parameter: event_data - object encoded as JSON string (optional)
Fires an 'event_name' event containing data from 'event_data'
Architecture
--------------------------- ---------------------------
Home Assistent has been built from the ground up with extensibility and modularity in mind. It is easy to swap in a different device tracker that polls another wireless router for example.
