### Obtaining an app configuration

If there is an app you want to be able to launch from Home Assistant that isn't detected by default, you will need to specify the app configuration in `configuration.yaml`. In order to determine the values to specify for each configuration parameter, launch the app you want to configure on your device, and run the following command (requires `pyvizio` to be installed locally):

```bash
pyvizio --ip={IP:PORT} get-current-app-config
```

`pyvizio` will return the value of the three parameters (`APP_ID`, `NAME_SPACE`, `MESSAGE`) for the currently running app which you can then include in your configuration.

### Obtaining a list of valid apps to include or exclude
To get the list of apps that can be excluded or included, run the following command (requires `pyvizio` to be installed locally):

```bash
pyvizio --ip=0 get-apps-list
```
