The `keyboard` integration simulates key presses on the host machine. It currently offers the following Buttons as a Service (BaaS):
|
|
|
|
- `keyboard/volume_up`
|
|
- `keyboard/volume_down`
|
|
- `keyboard/volume_mute`
|
|
- `keyboard/media_play_pause`
|
|
- `keyboard/media_next_track`
|
|
- `keyboard/media_prev_track`
|
|
|
|
To load this component, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
keyboard:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
You may need to install platform-specific [dependencies for PyUserInput](https://github.com/PyUserInput/PyUserInput#dependencies) in order to use the keyboard component. In most cases this can be done by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip3 install [package name]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
x64 Windows users may have trouble installing pywin through pip. Using an [executable installer](https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32) should work around this issue.
|
|
|
|
[Similar installers](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyhook) (unofficial) for pyhook have been ported to Python 3.4 and should help with x64 pip issues with pyhook.
