Home Assistant CLI Scripts

A small collection of Bash scripts for controlling Home Assistant devices from the command line.

The scripts use the Home Assistant REST API and expect a .env file containing your server URL and long-lived access token.

Set brightness from 0 to 100:

~/sh/ha/light.sh office off

fan.sh controls Home Assistant fan entities.

Turn the fan on or off:
