Home Assistant Agent

Home Assistant Agent is an plugin for the Indigo automation system to integrate with Home Assistant. This plugin allows you to create Indigo devices which act as agents for Home Assistant entities.

You need the IP address and PORT for your Home Assistant server, and an HA access token. The plugin uses zero-conf (aka Bonjour or mDNS) to locate Home Assistant servers on the local LAN. If your HA instance is not on the LAN, you can enter the IP address or DNS name and port manually.

The plugin supports the following Home Assistant device types:

Home Assistant Indigo
Climate Thermostat
Light Dimmer
Switch Relay
Binary Sensor Sensor
Sensor Sensor
Fan SpeedControl
Cover Relay
Lock Lock

What's New in 2026.0.6

This is a bug-fix release resolving issues found in a full code review. No configuration changes are required.

Fixed

  • Climate, Cover, Fan, and Media Player "Actions" are now functional. The consolidated action items (e.g. Climate Actions, Cover Actions, Fan Actions, Media Player Actions) previously did nothing due to internal field/callback mismatches. All of them now work, and their configuration dropdowns show and hide the correct fields.
  • Cover tilt position now sends the correct value to Home Assistant (was using the wrong parameter, so tilt-to-position had no effect).
  • Horizontal swing mode now lists the correct options from your climate entity instead of reusing the vertical swing list.
  • Media Player On/Off and Sound Mode actions now check the right device capabilities, so they no longer fail (or wrongly appear unavailable) on players that support them.
  • Fan speed commands are sent correctly, including fans with a single speed step (previously could error out), and speeds are always sent as numbers.
  • Zero values are handled correctly — a 0° setpoint, 0% humidity target, 0% volume, or 0% fan speed is no longer silently ignored.
  • Device states stay current after editing a device's config or restarting the plugin (built-in states like on/off and setpoints are now refreshed, not just custom attributes).

Improved

  • More reliable reconnection. The WebSocket reconnect back-off now grows on repeated failures and resets after a successful connection; an invalid access token no longer causes a rapid reconnect loop.
  • Cleaner startup/shutdown. Device stop/start and plugin-preference changes are handled more robustly (including reconnecting when you change the server address, port, SSL, or token).
  • Various UI label and definition fixes in the device and action configuration screens.

Maintenance

  • Updated the bundled zeroconf dependency to 0.150.0, resolving 5 Dependabot security advisories.
