Keyboard

The keyboard integration simulates key presses on the host machine. It currently offers the following Buttons as a Service (BaaS):

• keyboard/volume_up
• keyboard/volume_down
• keyboard/volume_mute
• keyboard/media_play_pause
• keyboard/media_next_track
• keyboard/media_prev_track

To load this component, add the following lines to your configuration.yamlThe configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI. [Learn more]:

Dependencies

You may need to install platform-specific dependencies for PyUserInput in order to use the keyboard component. In most cases this can be done by running:

pip3 install [package name]

Windows

x64 Windows users may have trouble installing pywin through pip. Using an executable installer should work around this issue.

Similar installers (unofficial) for pyhook have been ported to Python 3.4 and should help with x64 pip issues with pyhook.
