Goalfeed

The goalfeed component lets you use your Goalfeed account to trigger events in Home Assistant whenever a NHL or MLB team scores.

To use this component, enter your email address and password from your goalfeed.ca account in your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
goalfeed:
  username: your_email@gmail.com
  password: goalfeed_password

Configuration Variables

username

(string)(Required)The email address on your goalfeed.ca account.

password

Now you can use the goal event type in your automations:

- alias: 'Jets Goal'
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: goal
    event_data:
      team_name: "Winnipeg Jets"

Goal events have the following event data:

  • team: Three letter code representing the team. This is unique within the leagues, but not unique across the leagues (i.e. ‘WPG’ or ‘TOR’).
  • team_name: The team that scored (i.e. ‘Winnipeg Jets’ or ‘Toronto Blue Jays’).
  • team_hash: A unique hash for the team (you can find these values on https://goalfeed.ca/get-teams).
  • league_id: A unique number for the league.
  • league_name: A the short name of the league (i.e. ‘NHL’ or ‘MLB’).
