This component allows you to write Python scripts that are exposed as services in Home Assistant. Each Python file created in the `<config>/python_scripts/` folder will be exposed as a service. The content is not cached so you can easily develop: edit file, save changes, call service. The scripts are run in a sandboxed environment. The following variables are available in the sandbox:
|
|
|
|
| Name | Description |
|
|
| ---- | ----------- |
|
|
| `hass` | The Home Assistant object. Access is only allowed to call services, set/remove states and fire events. [API reference][hass-api]
|
|
| `data` | The data passed to the Python Script service call.
|
|
| `logger` | A logger to allow you to log messages: `logger.info()`, `logger.warning()`, `logger.error()`. [API reference][logger-api]

## {% linkable_title Writing your first script %}
|
|
|
|
- Add to `configuration.yaml`: `python_script:`
|
|
- Create folder `<config>/python_scripts`
|
|
- Create a file `hello_world.py` in the folder and give it this content:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
name = data.get('name', 'world')
|
|
logger.info("Hello {}".format(name))
|
|
hass.bus.fire(name, { "wow": "from a Python script!" })
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Start Home Assistant
|
|
- Call service `python_script/hello_world` with parameters
|
|
|
