Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to activate or deactivate some automations set into the Hilo app from Home assistant to override some scenes. Like I want to deactivate my automation for few days automatically when I activate my 'leaving' mode from Home Assistant and be able to reactivate them automatically when I turn off my 'leaving' mode in Home Assistant.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally a way to list automations from Home Assistant and be able to activate or activate them via an API

Describe alternatives you've considered
There's no really an alternative than open the app and manually disable automations when needed.

You could delete your automations in the Hilo app and redo them in HA. Hilo automations are mostly scheduling so the task would be trivial to do. You could then enable them and disable them through HA as you are doing now.

Hello, thanks for your answer. Indeed could be easy to do same automation in HA. I though that the Hilo automation had a 'smart' automation by evaluating automations rules during an event 'défi' : I mean I had the impression that the Hilo system take care about the set temperature during the event and do some computation with the target value and do kind of a average set temperature if you have automations triggered during the events. But maybe I'm totally wrong and the Hilo system is more 'silly' than I though :-)

The "smart" part during challenges is done server side on Hilo's end and is not published on the API.

An easy way to get around that and prevent things from firing is having a sensor.defi_hilo = off condition in your HA automations. That way, say, your heating won't start up in the morning with a challenge going on.
