Getting passphrase from terminal instead of GUI

Sometimes I'd like use ssh to log into my Mac at home which has the MacGPG setup (gpg (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.0.12). But when I want to decrypt a message from the commandline, the passphrase is requested on the MacOS desktop of the remote machine. Is there a way of telling gpg-agent(?) to ask me in the terminal? Probably I just can't find the right switch in the documentation (now that no-use-agent is deprecated).

Thanks in advance for your help!

   You can use GPG1 instead of GPG2.
