Description
Control Home Assistant smart home devices, run automations, and receive webhook events. Use when controlling lights, switches, climate, scenes, scripts, or any HA entity. Supports bidirectional communication via REST API (outbound) and webhooks (inbound triggers from HA automations).
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable giving the agent control over your Home Assistant instance. Use a dedicated least-privilege HA account/token where possible, restrict the config file to owner-only permissions, avoid using the generic service caller for sensitive domains unless explicitly confirmed, and be careful with automations, locks, covers, alarms, climate, scripts, and webhooks.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: home-assistant
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is designed to control Home Assistant devices and interacts with the Home Assistant API using `curl` and `jq`. It handles a sensitive `HA_TOKEN` and `HA_URL` from configuration files or environment variables, which is necessary for its stated purpose. All network calls in `scripts/ha.sh` are directed to the user-configured Home Assistant instance, and there is no evidence of data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts in SKILL.md to subvert the agent's behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The Home Assistant purpose is coherent, and the code only calls the user-configured HA URL, but the wrapper exposes broad entity control plus a generic service caller that can affect physical devices, scripts, automations, covers, climate, and other sensitive integrations.
Instruction Scope
The documentation clearly shows state-changing commands and the generic call path, but it does not require confirmation, allowlists, or special handling for high-impact services.
Install Mechanism
The artifact contains markdown plus one Bash wrapper using curl and jq; metadata declares those binaries and static/VirusTotal telemetry is clean.
Credentials
HA_URL and HA_TOKEN are expected for this integration, and network calls are directed to the configured Home Assistant instance, but the token can carry broad smart-home authority.
Persistence & Privilege
Setup recommends storing a long-lived Home Assistant token in a local config file, which is purpose-aligned but creates durable credential exposure if file permissions or host security are weak.
