Using Helm

Triggers, plugins & Home Assistant

Let Helm act on its own.

Triggers

Run deck actions automatically:

  • at a time of day,
  • when an app comes to the front,
  • when your phone connects or disconnects,
  • when the PC joins a Wi-Fi network.

Plugins

Plugins are WebAssembly modules in %APPDATA%\Helm\plugins\. They run in a sandbox and only get the capabilities you grant them in the app.

Home Assistant

Add your Home Assistant URL and a token in the app. The token is stored encrypted on the PC. Then useha actions on deck buttons and triggers โ€” lights that turn on with your PC.
