About

SSH Command is an integration that runs commands on remote hosts over SSH from Home Assistant. It adds a single action, which creates no devices or entities and works locally. The action connects with either a password or a private key file, with an optional passphrase for encrypted keys. It can send a command, input for the remote stdin, or both, and input can be read from a file path. Host key checking against known hosts is on by default, and a timeout and port can be set. The action returns the standard output, standard error and exit status, so automations can use the result.

Minimal Home Assistant custom component that exposes a single service to execute commands on remote hosts over SSH: ssh_command.execute.
This integration does not create devices or entities. It only registers the ssh_command.execute service.
