Generated entities

Get started#

This is how you use the auto generated entities in NetDaemon.

Turn on enitity generation, You need to turn on generation of entities. If you run docker use the HASS_GEN_ENTITIES=True environment var or if you use Home Assistant add-on use the setting generate_entities: true.
Restart NetDaemon once for the entities to be generated.
Two genreated files will be created. Use the new api in the file _EntityExtensionsRx.cs that will be created in app folder.
Inherit from GeneratedAppBaseinstead of default NetDaemonRxApp and add a using Netdaemon.Generated.Reactive;to the app file.

Using the entities#

Now you can do several things. All entities has TurnOn/TurnOff/Toggle. All other will inherit the service calls from the domain generated.

All services with a entity_id parameter will be added automatically. Rest you need to add. See examples below.

Examples:

    // Your remotes
    Remote.Livingroom.TurnOn(new {activity="TV"});

    // You can also get states
    Log(Remote.Tvrummet.State);

    // Media players id added in the background
    MediaPlayer.House.MediaPlayPause();
