MyCurl

A Home Assistant custom component that creates sensors based on the output of curl commands.

Installation

1. Copy the custom_components/mycurl folder to your Home Assistant custom_components directory.
2. Restart Home Assistant.
3. Configure the integration in your configuration.yaml.

Features

• Create sensors that run curl commands and use their output as sensor values.

Usage

Add an entry like this to your configuration.yaml:

sensor:
	- platform: mycurl
		name: "Bitcoin Price"
		curl_command: "curl -s https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice/BTC.json | jq -r .bpi.USD.rate_float"
		scan_interval: 300

This will create a sensor that fetches the current Bitcoin price in USD every 5 minutes.

Note: You can use any curl command that outputs a value. Make sure any required tools (like jq) are installed on your Home Assistant system.
