Trandelion checker — Zefanja Jobse

This is a small browser plugin to get the current state of Trandelion within home assistant, things like if it is currently running and the url to the translation. And home assistant can enable/disable the translation when Trandelion is running.

For the best experience, load the extension from folder within chrome. This will make chrome update the state way faster than using the extension available in the chrome web store.

You can setup the extension by clicking on it's icon.


Add the following to home assistant's configuration.yaml file:
# switch to show and change state
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
trandelion:
friendly_name: Trandelion
value_template: "{{ is_state('input_select.trandelion', 'Enabled') }}"
turn_on:
action: input_select.select_option
target:
entity_id: input_select.trandelion
data:
option: "Enable"
turn_off:
action: input_select.select_option
target:
entity_id: input_select.trandelion
data:
option: "Disable"

# Helper for more states
input_select:
trandelion:
name: Trandelion
options:
- Enable
- Disable
- Disabled
- Enabled
- Unavailable
initial: Unavailable
icon: mdi:translate

If everything is setup correctly, it should show both a helper for the state. And a switch to change the state from within home assistant.
