Prerequisites

Ubuntu

1. This component uses D-Bus to control systemd. You need to have D-Bus itself and its python bindings in order to use this component:

sudo apt install dbus libdbus-glib-1-dev libdbus-1-dev python-dbus

2. You also need to set up a polkit rule so that your user can control systemd via D-Bus. To do this, run the command and paste the content:

sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/systemd-manager.pkla

[Allow user systemd-manager to execute systemctl commands]
Identity=unix-user:<your user from which hass is executed.>
Action=org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units
ResultAny=yes

Install

Installed through the custom repository HACS - dmamontov/hass-systemd-manager

Or by copying the systemd_manager folder from the latest release to the custom_components folder (create if necessary) of the configs directory.

Config

Via GUI (Only)

Settings > Integrations > Plus > Systemd Manager

All you have to do is select the systemd services you want to manage.

Warnings

1. Only one configuration is allowed;
2. Do not select all services, this increases the load on the processor, especially D-Bus;

Advanced config

To get the status of the services, the component requests the status of the services every 10 seconds. This value can be changed in the component's settings.

Services

All services support only entity_id.
