The `hook` integration 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://amzn.to/2WVZdGG).
In short, Hook is an RF to Wi-Fi bridge, controlling devices that receive 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 integration reads in devices that have been set up in the official app.
## Configuration
Configure with either your username/password or your API token for the official app.
To enable this platform in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
- platform: hook
username: YOUR_E_MAIL_ADDRESS
password: YOUR_HOOK
```
Or
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
- platform: hook
token: YOUR_API_TOKEN
```
{% configuration %}
username:
description: The email address associated with your Hook Smart Home Hub.
required: true
type: string
password:
description: The password for your Hook Smart Home Hub.
required: true
type: string
token:
description: The API token for your Hook Smart Home Hub.
required: true
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
Extra debug logging is available, if you need it.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
logger:
default: error
logs:
homeassistant.components.switch.hook: debug
```
