not able to find rest command

[shedman214]

I have completed the steps to set up the amazon shopping list but for the automation. I cannot find the rest command to add or update the shopping list

[SavageCore]

I will update the readme soon but you need to add the rest_command block from https://github.com/SavageCore/HA_Addons/tree/main/alexa_shopping_list_sync#home-assistant-setup to your main config, then you can setup automations.yml

@SavageCore Would this be what I add to my config.yaml

@shedman214 No, within configuration.yaml (the main HA config) add this block:

rest_command:
  add_shopping_list_item:
    url: "http://localhost:5000/add_item"
    method: post
    payload: '{"item": "{{ item }}"}'
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json

  update_shopping_list_item:
    url: "http://localhost:5000/update_item"
    method: put
    payload: '{"item": "{{ item }}", "new_item": "{{ new_item }}"}'
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json

  complete_shopping_list_item:
    url: "http://localhost:5000/complete_item"
    method: put
    payload: '{"item": "{{ item }}"}'
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json

  remove_shopping_list_item:
    url: "http://localhost:5000/remove_item"
    method: post
    payload: '{"item": "{{ item }}"}'
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json

This defines the rest commands to be used by the automations

  add_shopping_list_item:

    method: post
    payload: '{"item": "{{ item }}"}'

  update_shopping_list_item:

    method: put

    method: put
    payload: '{"item": "{{ item }}"}'
    headers:

@SavageCore do I change "localhost" or leave it?

[SavageCore]

Yes, leave it as it is. That connects to the internal server started by the add-on.

[shedman214]

Thank you

[shedman214]

@SavageCore I'm getting this error after i restarted HA.

[SavageCore]

That means rest_command is already defined somewhere else, have a search for it and just copy and paste the rest of the block without rest_command, making sure it's indented one, currently it isn't.

[shedman214]

@SavageCore I think i fixed it right?

[SavageCore]

Yes, that looks better, you can verify it with a site like https://www.yamllint.com/

rest needs renaming back to rest_command

[shedman214]

Yes, that looks better, you can verify it with a site like https://www.yamllint.com/

rest needs renaming back to rest_command

That worked

[shedman214]

@SavageCore is this correct or how do I add this part?

[SavageCore]

That is correct yes, don't change those, they're HA events from the shopping list add-on.

You can change the alias, that's just a name for your reference. id can also be changed but they must be unique.

[shedman214]

@SavageCore Final automation, also which shopping list would I add to from home assistant? example would be if I want to add bread to my shopping list from HA?

alias: Shopping list
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: event
    event_type: shopping_list_updated
    event_data:
      action: add
    id: add to list
    alias: add list
  - trigger: event
    event_type: shopping_list_updated
    event_data:
      action: update
    id: update list
    alias: update list
  - trigger: event
    event_type: shopping_list_updated
    event_data:
      action: remove
    id: remove from list
    alias: remove list
conditions: []
actions:
  - alias: add list
    if:
      - condition: trigger
        id:
          - add to list
    then:
      - action: rest_command.add_shopping_list_item
        metadata: {}
        data: {}
  - alias: update list
    if:
      - condition: trigger
        id:
          - update list
    then:
      - action: rest_command.complete_shopping_list_item
        metadata: {}
        data: {}
  - alias: remove list
    if:
      - condition: trigger
        id:
          - remove from list
    then:
      - action: rest_command.remove_shopping_list_item
        metadata: {}
        data: {}
mode: single

[shedman214]

i added "eggs" to my HA shopping list and got this error?

This is from the add-on

[SavageCore]

I'd double check you have the correct login_url and list_url. Doesn't seem like Selenium is on the login page

[shedman214]

@SavageCore I believe i followed the instructions correctly. Login:

List:

@SavageCore so i got it to work and the only issue I have is when I add or remove an item from HA shopping list. it does not add/remove from alexa shopping list.

[shedman214]

any update on the remove /and add items through HA. Thank you

[SavageCore]

@shedman214 I would double check the automation is the same as in the readme. If nothing showing in add-on logs it seems the HA event isn't being listened to

[granda1987]

@SavageCore so i got it to work and the only issue I have is when I add or remove an item from HA shopping list. it does not add/remove from alexa shopping list.

With the last HA updates I found that the command to launch the action changes.

  alias: 'ASLS: Add new shopping list item to Alexa'
  triggers:
  - trigger: event
    event_type: shopping_list_updated
    event_data:
      actions: add 

-> Change to "action" withot "s"

I was fighting with that, but now in the docs are updated.

@granda1987 everytime I change it to action it adds the " s"back on its own?

[nwithan8]

everytime I change it to action it adds the " s"back on its own?

The syntax for Home Assistant YAML changed in 2024.10.0: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/update-all-yaml-to-newest-syntax/779140/9

[shedman214]

ok what would i update to accommodate for the change?
