Install in OpenClaw
/install homeassistant-skill
Description
Inspect and control Home Assistant using REST and supported WebSocket workflows. Discover capabilities, action schemas, device/entity registries, Assist, automations, calendars, energy statistics and diagnostics. Use when the user asks to inspect, troubleshoot or operate an existing Home Assistant installation; not for general smart-home product advice or unrelated device questions.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you intend to let an agent inspect and, when you authorize it, operate your Home Assistant devices. Use a dedicated least-privilege Home Assistant account where possible, keep HA_TOKEN in a private environment or secret store, prefer verified HTTPS, and require explicit confirmation before any lock, alarm, garage door, security automation, notification, TTS, script, scene, or broad batch action.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Network access to the configured Home Assistant origin and a bearer token are necessary for this integration, but the token can carry broad household authority and local HTTP is explicitly warned as plaintext.
Install Mechanism
Installation is ordinary skill installation with declared dependencies on HA_URL, HA_TOKEN, curl, and jq; the optional WebSocket dependency is a bounded Python package requirement and no hidden installer or remote payload execution was found.
Instruction Scope
The skill documents sensitive scopes such as locks, alarms, garage doors, presence, calendars, templates, notifications, and TTS, and requires exact targets plus explicit confirmation for security-sensitive actions.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, background service, scheduled task, memory modification, privilege escalation, or credential-file searching was found; scripts read credentials from environment variables and an explicit local JSON file only for validation.
Purpose & Capability
The artifact's purpose is to inspect and operate an existing Home Assistant installation; REST/WebSocket reads, service-call examples, calendars, forecasts, diagnostics, and device-control examples all fit that purpose.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install homeassistant-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/homeassistant-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
