System Bridge
System Bridge is an application that runs on your local machine to share system information via its API as well as allowing commands to be sent to the device.
Prerequisites
You will need your API key. This can be found and configured in the application’s settings.
Configuration
Adding System Bridge to your Home Assistant instance can be done via the user interface, by using this My button:
System Bridge can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as “Discovered”, which you can select to set it up right away.
If there wasn’t any discovered automatically, don’t worry! You can set up a manual integration entry:
- Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
- In the sidebar click on Configuration.
- From the configuration menu select: Integrations.
- In the bottom right, click on the Add Integration button.
- From the list, search and select “System Bridge”.
- Follow the instruction on screen to complete the set up.
