Websockets are the way. It’s possible to subscribe to all the events then filter them… it’s just a bit of a PITA managing the websockets and all the connection/reconnection states, making sure it’s not stale, detecting when remote is down, retry logic etc.
Just had trouble finding the code… it was before custom nodes exist so it’s in a branch of my n8n repo
I’m also interest to connect my n8n to my Home Assistant assit.
Thanks a lot for all the help 
I’m also interested in this and I’ll offer any help as needed!
Hi there,
I just stumbled upon this thread.
I had the same problem and implemented some nodes:
This has a trigger node for Home Assistant events and Home Assistant triggers, as well as a node for doing actions, retrieving areas, entities, devices, etc.
It also has generic nodes if you want to call something weird, or a HA plugin.
Give it a try if you want, any feedback is appreciated
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Will definitely give it a go👍
I noticed it’s still missing the method for testing the credentials. should still work fine though
@ Simiil Hi, Could you share the trigger function sample? I try to set Specify Body by Using Fields Below and config Body Parameters but show some error:
"extra keys not allowed @ data[‘entity_id’]. Got ‘switch.AC’ required key not provided @ data[‘trigger’]. Got None
"
Thanks!
for subscribing to triggers, you’d be better off using the Home Assistant WS Trigger node, not the generic one:
There you have a bit more guidance how to subscribe to a trigger:
The Generic Trigger node is for if you want to subscribe to something that is not an event or a trigger.
I updated the Integration.
There should be a functioning credentials test, as well as better error handling.
The Service Action node also provides the required model now:
Tried this. But it will only execute once. After execution, it will not listen to the events anymore.
Hi there
I’m new at n8n, former user of node-red.
I have self-installed n8n on docker, I can see the Homeassistant actions nodes, but not the trigger ones.
Do I have to enable them somehow?
Thanks
@HHUBSS can you share your setup? that sounds like a bug
@Kite_M The trigger nodes are not official nodes, so you have to install them. you can follow this guide: GUI installation | n8n Docs
