General Discussion / Homeassistant automation on defined filters in OPNsense
« on: June 18, 2024, 05:05:11 pm »
Hi,
I have a rule defined in Firewall -> Automation -> Filter to disable internet access to the streaming box (very handly if you want to limit screentime and get your kids to actually play / read / do anything not associated with being glued to the TV screen... ).
I can manually manipulate this rule from the web GUI, but I want to switch the rule on and off using home assistant. I tried following existing tutorials (e.g. https://blog.fuzzymistborn.com/opnsense-firewall/) but these all seem to work with a legacy plugin and I cant get them to work (the enabled state does not change). This could be as easy as the API user not having the proper rights as I could not find the `Rules: API` right that is mentioned in the above mentioned howto ...
Does anyone have experience with this?
many thanks in advance
