keyring
Using Keyring is an alternative way to secrets.yaml
. The secrets can be managed from the command line via the keyring
script.
$ hass --script keyring --help
To store a password in keyring, replace your password or API key with !secret
and an identifier in configuration.yaml
file.
http:
api_password: !secret http_password
Create an entry in your keyring.
$ hass --script keyring set http_password
