About

Sipeed NanoKVM is an integration that controls and monitors a Sipeed NanoKVM device from Home Assistant over its local API. It adds power and reset buttons, switches for features such as SSH, mDNS, the watchdog and the LED strip, and sensors for CPU temperature, memory use, uptime and IP addresses. It also provides an HDMI camera stream, an application update entity, and selects and numbers for settings like HID mode, mouse jiggler mode and LED brightness. Actions cover pasting text through the HID keyboard, sending Wake-on-LAN packets, listing images and scanning Wi-Fi networks on a Pro model. Home Assistant can discover the device on the network, and setup happens in the UI with the device's login, plus SSH credentials if SSH diagnostics are used. Some entities appear only when the device reports support, and Pro models hide a few non-Pro entities.
