Websocket API
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>Home Assistant contains a websocket API. This API can be used to stream information from the Home Assistant server to any client that implements websockets. Implementations in different languages:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-js-websocket">JavaScript</a> - powers the frontend</li>
</ul>
<h1>Server states</h1>
<ol>
<li>Client connects</li>
<li>Authentication phase starts
a. If no further authentication necessary for the user: go to 3
b. Server sends <code class="highlighter-rouge">auth_required</code> message
c. Client sends <code class="highlighter-rouge">auth</code> message
d. If <code class="highlighter-rouge">auth</code> message correct: go to 3.
e. Server sends <code class="highlighter-rouge">auth_invalid</code>. Go to 6.</li>
<li>Send <code class="highlighter-rouge">auth_ok</code> message</li>
<li>Authentication phase ends.</li>
<li>Command phase starts.
a. Client can send commands.
b. Server can send results of previous commands.</li>
<li>Client or server disconnects session.</li>
</ol>
<p>During the command phase, the client attaches a unique identifier to each message. The server will add this identifier to each message so that the client can link each message to its origin.</p>
<h1>Message format</h1>
<p>Each API message is a JSON serialized object containing a <code class="highlighter-rouge">type</code> key. After the authentication phase messages also must contain an <code class="highlighter-rouge">id</code>, an integer that contains the number of interactions.</p>
<p>Example of an auth message:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"type": "auth",
"api_password": "supersecret"
}
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id" 5,
"type":"event",
"event":{
"data":{},
"event_type":"test_event",
"time_fired":"2016-11-26T01:37:24.265429+00:00",
"origin":"LOCAL"
}
}
</code></pre>
<h1>Authentication phase</h1>
<p>When a client connects to the server, the server will test if the client is authenticated. Authentication will not be necessary if no api_password is set or if the user fulfills one of the other criteria for authentication (trusted network, password in url/header).</p>
<p>If no authentication is needed, the authentication phase will complete and the server will send an <code class="highlighter-rouge">auth_ok</code> message.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"type": "auth_ok"
}
</code></pre>
<p>If authentication is necessary, the server sends out <code class="highlighter-rouge">auth_required</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"type": "auth_required"
}
</code></pre>
<p>This means that the next message from the client should be an auth message:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"type": "auth",
"api_password": "supersecret"
}
</code></pre>
<p>If the client supplies valid authentication, the authentication phase will complete by the server sending the <code class="highlighter-rouge">auth_ok</code> message:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"type": "auth_ok"
}
</code></pre>
<p>If the data is incorrect, the server will reply with <code class="highlighter-rouge">auth_invalid</code> message and disconnect the session.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"type": "auth_invalid",
"message": "Invalid password"
}
</code></pre>
<h1>Command phase</h1>
<p>During this phase the client can give commands to the server. The server will respond to each command with a <code class="highlighter-rouge">result</code> message indicating when the command is done and if it was successful.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 6.
"type": "result",
"success": true,
// Can contain extra result info
"result": null
}
</code></pre>
<h2>Subscribe to events</h2>
<p>The command <code class="highlighter-rouge">subscribe_events</code> will subscribe your client to the event bus. You can either listen to all events or to a specific event type. If you want to listen to multiple event types, you will have to send multiple <code class="highlighter-rouge">subscribe_events</code> commands.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 18,
"type": "subscribe_events",
// Optional
"event_type": "state_changed"
}
</code></pre>
<p>The server will respond with a result message to indicate that the subscription is active.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 18,
"type": "result",
"success": true,
"result": null
}
</code></pre>
<p>For each event that matches, the server will send a message of type <code class="highlighter-rouge">event</code>. The <code class="highlighter-rouge">id</code> in the message will point at the original <code class="highlighter-rouge">id</code> of the <code class="highlighter-rouge">listen_event</code> command.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 18,
"type":"event",
"event":{
"data":{
"entity_id":"light.bed_light",
"new_state":{
"entity_id":"light.bed_light",

</code></pre>
<h2>Unsubscribing from events</h2>
<p>You can unsubscribe from previously created subscription events. Pass the id of the original subscription command as value to the subscription field.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 19,
"type": "unsubscribe_events",
"subscription": 18
}
</code></pre>
<p>The server will respond with a result message to indicate that unsubscribing was successful.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 19,
"type": "result",
"success": true,
"result": null
}
</code></pre>
<h2>Calling a service</h2>
<p>This will call a service in Home Assistant. Right now there is no return value. The client can listen to <code class="highlighter-rouge">state_changed</code> events if it is interested in changed entities as a result of a service call.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 24,
"type": "call_service",
"domain": "light",
"service": "turn_on",
// Optional
"service_data": {
"entity_id": "light.kitchen"
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>The server will indicate with a message indicating that the service is done executing.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 24,
"type": "result",
"success": true,
"result": null
}
</code></pre>
<h2>Fetching states</h2>
<p>This will get a dump of all the current states in Home Assistant.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 19,
"type": "get_states"
}
</code></pre>
<p>The server will respond with a result message containing the states.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 19,
"type": "result",
"success": true,
"result": [ … ]
}
</code></pre>
<h2>Fetching config</h2>
<p>This will get a dump of the current config in Home Assistant.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 19,
"type": "get_config"
}
</code></pre>
<p>The server will respond with a result message containing the config.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 19,
"type": "result",
"success": true,
"result": { … }
}
</code></pre>
<h2>Fetching services</h2>
<p>This will get a dump of the current services in Home Assistant.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json5">{
"id": 19,
"type": "get_config"
