Integration management

Integrations in Home Assistant are the glue between your Home Assistant instance and the devices, services, and platforms you want to integrate with it. Spook enhances the core of Home Assistant by adding services to control those integrations.

Services¶

The following integration management services are added to your Home Assistant instance:

Disable polling for updates¶

Disable integration polling of a single integration instance by its config entry.

Some integrations frequently poll for updates. In some cases, it can be helpful to disable this temporarily. For example, in case you are not at home and want to stop polling on an integration that consumes a paid API.

Service properties
Service	Disable polling for updates 👻
Service name	homeassistant.disable_polling
Service targets	No
Service response	No response

Enable polling for updates¶

Enable integration polling of a single integration instance by its config entry.

Some integrations frequently poll for updates. In some cases, it can be helpful to enable this just temporarily. For example, in case you are not at home and want to stop polling on an integration that consumes a paid API and want to turn it back on again when you are back.

Service properties
Service	Enable polling for updates 👻
Service name	homeassistant.enable_polling
Service targets	No
Service response	No response

Ignore all discovered devices & services¶

When Home Assistant discovers new devices or services, it will show up on the integration dashboard. You can ignore them one by one, but this service will allow you to ignore all of them at once.

It also supports ignoring all discovered devices from a specific integration. For example, if you want to ignore all discovered devices from the bluetooth integration, you could do that periodically with an automation.

Service properties
Service	Ignore all currently discovered devices 👻
Service name	homeassistant.ignore_all_discovered
Service targets	No
Service response	No response
