The Steam component will allow you to track the online status of public [Steam](https://steamcommunity.com) accounts.
|
|
|
|
You need an API key which is [free](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey) to use the component
|
|
|
|
To find an account's 64-bit SteamID you can check the URL of the profile page, if it ends with a long string on numbers then that's the 64-bit SteamID. However, if the profile has a custom URL you will have to copy the it and enter it into [STEAMID I/O](https://steamid.io/) to find the 64-bit SteamID.
|
|
|
|
To use Steam in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: steam_online
|
|
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
|
|
accounts:
|
|
- account1
|
|
- account2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key from [https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey).
|
|
- **accounts** array (*Required*): Array of accounts.
|
|
- **account_id** (*Required*): 64-bit SteamID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to add the accounts to a group for example you will have to use:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
group:
|
|
steam:
|
|
name: Steam
|
|
entities:
|
|
- sensor.steam_account1
|
|
- sensor.steam_account2
|
|
```
