How to test from command line

Go to the path of the script, make sure the give executable permissions and run: python3 ./hass_radarr_search_by_voice.py "star wars" "0" It should let you know if it found and added a movie.

Integrate with Home Assistant

1. Copy the content of the example/homeassistant folder to your homeassistant folder. If you already have a custom yaml file for your own scripts and shell commands then just add the content of each files (scripts.yaml and shellcommand.yaml) to your own files.
2. Let homeassistant know where your scripts and shell commands will be by adding the following lines to your configuration.yaml (in case you are using the same file structure as me). script: !include scripts.yaml shell_command: !include shellcommand.yaml
3. In your homeassistant/scripts/download.sh. file replace ‘/path/to/hass_radarr_search_by_voice.py’ with the actual path where you saved the python file.
4. Fill up the User defined variables in your hass_radarr_search_by_voice.py
5. Make sure the give executable permissions to everything inside homeassistant/scripts folder and to hass_radarr_search_by_voice.py file.
6. Bonus. Fill up the User defined variables in homeassistant/scripts/remove_download.sh

Use it by voice with Google Assistant and IFTTT

• Setup IFTTT integration on Home Assistant. Go to Configuration > integrations > IFTTT. It will give you a private IFTTT_WEEBHOOK_ID, save it somewhere.
• Create an IFTTT applet for each mode. You can see an example in the repository at the folder example/ifttt
• Set a new automation for the ifttt webhook so it can call your script. see folder example
