Locked / Unlocked detection.

[atkjedi]

I was looking for any documentation on how to get a locked/unlocked sensor to no avail.
I am running ubuntu 24.04, with wayland.

In case anyone else is looking for this, here is the bash sensor I added, with this I have my workstation integration with HA finalized!

settings:
  bash:
    allow_any_command: false
    expose:
      - name: Screen Locked
        type: binary_sensor
        device_class: lock
        icon: mdi:lock
        update_interval: 5
        sensor_timeout: 4
        command: >
          sh -lc '
            exec 2>/dev/null
            sid="$(loginctl session-status | awk "NR==1{print \$1}")"
            if [ -n "$sid" ]; then
              locked="$(timeout 1s loginctl show-session "$sid" -p LockedHint |
                        awk -F= '"'"'$1=="LockedHint"{print $2}'"'"')"
              [ "$locked" = "no" ] && echo 1
            fi
            exit 0
          '

Thanks for sharing this!

I was also looking for something like that and I came across the dbus that can query the lock state of linux, though this depends on the distribution. For Ubuntu I found this and I was wondering if you've tried it because it seems simpler:

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.kde.KScreenLocker /ScreenLocker org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.GetActive

For making an individual entity unavailable is not possible. All of the entities that are created are bound to the lwt status.
