The dweet component makes it possible to transfer details collected with Home Assistant to Dweet.io and visualize them with freeboard.io. Keep in mind that your information will be public!

The publishing interval is limited to 1 second. This means that it's possible to miss fast changes.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

• Sensor

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use the dweet component in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
dweet:
  name: YOUR_UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER
  whitelist:
    - input_number.brightness
    - input_boolean.notify_home
    - sensor.weather_temperature
    - sensor.cpu

{% configuration %} name: description: A unique identifier for your Home Assistant instance. required: true type: string whitelist: description: List of entity IDs you want to publish required: true type: list {% endconfiguration %}

{% linkable_title Sensor %}

The dweet sensor platform allows you to get details from your devices which are publishing their values to Dweet.io.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use Dweet.io sensors in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

{% raw %}

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: dweet
    device: THING_NAME
    value_template: '{{ value_json.VARIABLE }}'

{% endraw %}

{% configuration %} device: description: Identification of the device (also known as thing). required: true type: string value_template: description: The variable to extract a value from the content. required: true type: template name: description: Let you overwrite the name of the device in the frontend. required: false default: Dweet.io Sensor type: string unit_of_measurement: description: Defines the unit of measurement of the sensor, if any. required: false type: string {% endconfiguration %}

{% linkable_title Full configuration sample %}

A full configuration entry could look like the sample below.

{% raw %}

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: dweet
    name: Temperature
    device: THING_NAME
    value_template: '{{ value_json.VARIABLE }}'
    unit_of_measurement: "°C"

{% endraw %}

{% linkable_title Interacting with Dweet.io %}

You can easily send dweets from the command-line to test your sensor with curl.

$ curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"temperature": 40, "humidity": 65}' https://dweet.io/dweet/for/ha-sensor

will give you a response like the one below:

{"this":"succeeded","by":"dweeting","the":"dweet","with":{"thing":"ha-sensor","created":"2015-12-10T09:43:31.133Z","content":{"temperature":40,"humidity":65}}}

The dweepy module gives you another option to work with Dweet.io.

Send a dweet.

$ python3
>>> import dweepy
>>> dweepy.dweet_for('ha-sensor', {'temperature': '23', 'humiditiy':'81'})
{'thing': 'ha-sensor', 'created': '2015-12-10T09:46:08.559Z', 'content': {'humiditiy': 81, 'temperature': 23}}

Receive the latest dweet.

>>> dweepy.get_latest_dweet_for('ha-sensor')
[{'thing': 'ha-sensor'', 'created': '2015-12-10T09:43:31.133Z', 'content': {'humidity': 65, 'temperature': 40}}]
