This custom integration allows you to control your Hyprland desktop monitors directly from Home Assistant. It connects to your Hyprmonitors Rust server to provide full monitor control capabilities.

Features

Monitor Status Sensors: Real-time status of all monitors (on/off/mixed)
Individual Monitor Switches: Control each monitor separately
Master Switch: Turn all monitors on/off at once
Custom Services: Advanced automation capabilities
Auto-discovery: Automatically detects available monitors
Real-time Updates: Monitor status updates every 30 seconds

Prerequisites

Hyprmonitors Server: The Rust server must be running and accessible
Home Assistant: Version 2023.1.0 or newer
Network Access: Home Assistant must be able to reach your Hyprmonitors server

Installation

Method 1: Manual Installation

Create the custom components directory in your Home Assistant configuration:
```
mkdir -p config/custom_components/hyprmonitors
```

Copy all files from this directory to your Home Assistant custom components:

cp -r custom_components/hyprmonitors/* config/custom_components/hyprmonitors/

Restart Home Assistant

Method 2: HACS (Recommended when available)

Add this repository to HACS as a custom repository
Search for "Hyprland Monitor Control" in HACS
Install the integration
Restart Home Assistant

Configuration

Via UI (Recommended)

Go to Settings → Devices & Services
Click Add Integration
Search for "Hyprland Monitor Control"
Enter your Hyprmonitors server details:
- Host: IP address or hostname (default: localhost)
- Port: Port number (default: 3000)
Click Submit

The integration will automatically discover your monitors and create entities.

Via configuration.yaml (Legacy)

hyprmonitors:
  host: localhost
  port: 3000

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

Cannot connect to server:
- Verify the Hyprmonitors server is running: curl http://localhost:3000/health
- Check host and port configuration
- Ensure firewall allows connections
Monitors not detected:
- Check if Hyprland is running
- Verify monitors are detected: hyprctl monitors
- Restart the Hyprmonitors server
Integration not loading:
- Check Home Assistant logs for errors
- Verify all files are copied correctly
- Restart Home Assistant completely

Hyprmonitors server logs on startup
Run hyprctl monitors in terminal
Check the sensor attributes in Home Assistant
