Lookups

The most common method of creating references is using hass.refBy.id:

import { TServiceParams } from "@digital-alchemy/hass";

export function ExampleService({ hass }: TServiceParams) {
  const mySensor = hass.refBy.id("sensor.my_special_sensor");
  // that's it!
}

The hass.refBy also allows for lookups against area, device, label, floor, platform, and unique_id to create an array of references.

// simple lookup, returns array of references
hass.refBy.area("living_room");
// limit by domain(s)
hass.refBy.floor("downstairs", "light", "switch");
// lookup by unique ID
hass.refBy.unique_id("unique_sensor_id");
