Steam

The Steam component will allow you to track the online status of public Steam accounts.

You need an API key which is free to use the component

To find an account’s 64-bit SteamID you can check the URL of the profile page, if it ends with a long string on numbers then that’s the 64-bit SteamID. However, if the profile has a custom URL you will have to copy the it and enter it into STEAMID I/O to find the 64-bit SteamID.

To use Steam in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: steam_online
    api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
    accounts:
      - account1
      - account2

Configuration variables:

• api_key (Required): Your API key from https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey.
• accounts array (Required): Array of accounts.
  • account_id (Required): 64-bit SteamID.

If you want to add the accounts to a group for example you will have to use:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
group:
  steam:
    name: Steam
    entities:
      - sensor.steam_account1
      - sensor.steam_account2
