mgranger Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I am trying to add a script that can be called from the command line but not sure where I should add this script file. I understand there is a user scripts plugin and I have used this and it is great however I am trying to run a script from Home Assistant through a command line and I don't think this plugin would work with that. Where should I add my script to make this work? Link to comment
trurl Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Assuming you are running Home Assistant as a docker, if you put it in the appdata for the docker then the application will be able to get to it wherever it has appdata mapped. I don't know any details about how to make Home Assistant use the script. Link to comment

Script would be something like docker exec HomeAssistant /config/NameOfScript.sh Yes that would work if you needed to run it yourself. I was thinking more in terms of letting HomeAssistant run it as needed. I briefly looked at HomeAssistant since I have some home automation, but my needs are so simple I figured that would be a project for another day. Link to comment
mgranger Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Ok so here is what I am trying to do even though I am sure it is unecessary. I am trying to monitor how many days are left on my let's encrypt cert. So I came across this forum but it requires a script that someone wrote. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/sensor-to-show-expiry-date-of-ssl-certificate/13479 So I am kind of unsure where to put this script file to get it to run from home-assistant. @trurl I would suggest trying home-assistant sometime. I started with the basic stuff but have branched out over about a year and half of using it. Link to comment
