Platforms count differently and update at different times.

What this skill does

It controls entities such as lights, switches, climate, scenes and scripts, triggers automations and receives events through webhooks. Calls go to Home Assistant's REST API and need a long-lived access token created in the profile page, which is shown only once and must be saved immediately. This workflow can affect an external account, public content or real-world state. Verify the target and exact action, and obtain the user’s confirmation before consequential changes or publication.

What you can do with it

  • Turn off lights or adjust climate by room
  • Trigger an existing automation and see the result

When to use it

  • Device state should change from one instruction
  • Home events must feed an automation flow

Example prompts

Generated from the skill’s documentation as examples; not results of actual runs.

Turn off the living room lights and set the bedroom to a comfortable temperature
Trigger the arriving-home scene and tell me what ran

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change. Other skills share this name; figures from before the change are attributed to this one, which currently has the most downloads.

# Home Assistant

Control your smart home via Home Assistant's REST API and webhooks.
Show all (176 lines)
## Setup

### Option 1: Config File (Recommended)

Create `~/.config/home-assistant/config.json`:
```json
{
  "url": "https://your-ha-instance.duckdns.org",
  "token": "your-long-lived-access-token"
}
```

### Option 2: Environment Variables

```bash
export HA_URL="http://homeassistant.local:8123"
export HA_TOKEN="your-long-lived-access-token"
```

### Getting a Long-Lived Access Token

1. Open Home Assistant → Profile (bottom left)
2. Scroll to "Long-Lived Access Tokens"
3. Click "Create Token", name it (e.g., "Clawdbot")
4. Copy the token immediately (shown only once)

## Quick Reference

### List Entities

```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" "$HA_URL/api/states" | jq '.[].entity_id'
```

### Get Entity State

```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" "$HA_URL/api/states/light.living_room"
```

### Control Devices

```bash
# Turn on
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "$HA_URL/api/services/light/turn_on" -d '{"entity_id": "light.living_room"}'

# Turn off
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "$HA_URL/api/services/light/turn_off" -d '{"entity_id": "light.living_room"}'

# Set brightness (0-255)
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "$HA_URL/api/services/light/turn_on" -d '{"entity_id": "light.living_room", "brightness": 128}'
```

### Run Scripts & Automations

```bash
# Trigger script
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" "$HA_URL/api/services/script/turn_on" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"entity_id": "script.goodnight"}'

# Trigger automation
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" "$HA_URL/api/services/automation/trigger" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"entity_id": "automation.motion_lights"}'
```

### Activate Scenes

```bash
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" "$HA_URL/api/services/scene/turn_on" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"entity_id": "scene.movie_night"}'
```

## Common Services

| Domain | Service | Example entity_id |
|--------|---------|-------------------|
| `light` | `turn_on`, `turn_off`, `toggle` | `light.kitchen` |
| `switch` | `turn_on`, `turn_off`, `toggle` | `switch.fan` |
| `climate` | `set_temperature`, `set_hvac_mode` | `climate.thermostat` |
| `cover` | `open_cover`, `close_cover`, `stop_cover` | `cover.garage` |
| `media_player` | `play_media`, `media_pause`, `volume_set` | `media_player.tv` |
| `scene` | `turn_on` | `scene.relax` |
| `script` | `turn_on` | `script.welcome_home` |
| `automation` | `trigger`, `turn_on`, `turn_off` | `automation.sunrise` |

## Inbound Webhooks (HA → Clawdbot)

To receive events from Home Assistant automations:

### 1. Create HA Automation with Webhook Action

```yaml
# In HA automation
action:
  - service: rest_command.notify_clawdbot
    data:
      event: motion_detected
      area: living_room
```

### 2. Define REST Command in HA

```yaml
# configuration.yaml
rest_command:
  notify_clawdbot:
    url: "https://your-clawdbot-url/webhook/home-assistant"
    method: POST
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer {{ webhook_secret }}"
      Content-Type: "application/json"
    payload: '{"event": "{{ event }}", "area": "{{ area }}"}'
```

### 3. Handle in Clawdbot

Clawdbot receives the webhook and can notify you or take action based on the event.

## CLI Wrapper

The `scripts/ha.sh` CLI provides easy access to all HA functions:

```bash
# Test connection
ha.sh info

# List entities
ha.sh list all          # all entities
ha.sh list lights       # just lights
ha.sh list switch       # just switches

# Search entities
ha.sh search kitchen    # find entities by name

# Get/set state
ha.sh state light.living_room
ha.sh states light.living_room   # full details with attributes
ha.sh on light.living_room
ha.sh on light.living_room 200   # with brightness (0-255)
ha.sh off light.living_room
ha.sh toggle switch.fan

# Scenes & scripts
ha.sh scene movie_night
ha.sh script goodnight

# Climate
ha.sh climate climate.thermostat 22

# Call any service
ha.sh call light turn_on '{"entity_id":"light.room","brightness":200}'
```

## Troubleshooting

- **401 Unauthorized**: Token expired or invalid. Generate a new one.
- **Connection refused**: Check HA_URL, ensure HA is running and accessible.
- **Entity not found**: List entities to find the correct entity_id.
