The `hook` component allows you to control the [Hook Smart Home Hub](http://www.hooksmarthome.com/) from within Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
Hook allows you to control cheap mains electrical outlets, like these ones at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Wireless-Electrical-Household-Appliances/dp/B00DQELHBS).
|
|
|
|
In short, Hook is an RF to Wi-Fi bridge, controlling devices that recieve commands at 315MHz and 433MHz. Unfortunately, this does not allow Hook to determine if the command was successful, so the state is assumed.
|
|
|
|
Hook provides a simple [REST API](https://app.swaggerhub.com/api/rahilj/GetHook_RestAPI/v1). This Home Assistant component reads in devices that have been set up in the official app.
|
|
|
|
Configure with either your username/password or your API token for the official app.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
- platform: hook
|
|
username: <email address>
|
|
password: !secret hook
|
|
```
|
|
Or
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
- platform: hook
|
|
token: <your API token>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Extra debug logging is available, if you need it.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
logger:
|
|
default: error
|
|
logs:
|
|
homeassistant.components.switch.hook: debug
|
|
```
