homeassistant-reconcile

Reconcile the entities that exist in Home Assistant with those in the groups.yaml file.

To use, create a file ~/.homeassistant.ini

[api]
password = MYAPI-PASSWORD

And then run this script in the configuration dir. It will parse your group.yaml file. The last entry in the group.yaml file (after you have run this the first time) should be changed to:

untracked: !include untracked.yaml

This script will create an 'untracked.yaml' file

entities:
- entity1
 ...
- entityN
name: untracked
view: 'yes'

You probably want to add:

  default_view:
    name: main
    view: yes
      entities:
       [short list of entities you want on main]

to your group.yaml, this will override the default view entity list

When you run it, you will see 3 lines: $ python3 ./reconcile.py

Num Entities: ###

Untracked entities: ['entity1','entity2', ...]

Stale entities: ['entity1','entity2', ...]

The first ### is the number that exist within the API. The second are the entities which exist withn the API, but are not in any group. The 3rd are the entities that exist in a group, but are not known by the API.
