- description:
- Control and query home appliances and sensors via Home Assistant. Uses HA_URL and HA_TOKEN from ~/.pasture/.env. Use for anything inside the home (devices, appliances, sensors, automations). For outdoor/weather info use web search. Commands: "list lights", "search kitchen", "on light.xyz", "list automations", "search <name>", "state <entity_id>", etc.
Home Assistant
Control and query your Home Assistant instance with simple commands. You do not need to say "entities", "domain", or "state"-use the command phrases below and the skill will run the right action.
Config: Set HA_TOKEN in ~/.pasture/.env (e.g. via pasture skills install home-assistant). HA_URL is optional and defaults to http://localhost:8123. Add "home-assistant" to skills.enabled in config.
How to use
Set arguments.command to one of the commands below. The user can speak naturally; you translate their intent into a single command string.
Commands (use arguments.command)
| Command | When to use | Example |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| list sensor | List temperature/humidity and other sensors | "Check all temp sensors" → list sensor |
| list lights | List all lights | "What lights do I have?", "Show my lights" |
| list automation | List all automations | "List my automations", "Show thermostat automations" |
| list switch | List switches | "What switches are there?" |
| list | List all entities | "List all devices" |
| search <word> | Find home devices/appliances/sensors by name | "Find kitchen lights" → search kitchen; "dining room sensor" → search dining |
| state <entity_id> | Get current state/reading of a home device or sensor | "Is the living room light on?" → state light.living_room |
| on <entity_id> | Turn on a light/switch | "Turn on the living room light" → on light.living_room |
| on <entity_id> <0-255> | Turn on with brightness | "Set kitchen light to 50%" → on light.kitchen 128 |
| off <entity_id> | Turn off | "Turn off the bedroom light" → off light.bedroom |
| toggle <entity_id> | Toggle on/off | "Toggle the fan" → toggle switch.fan |
| scene <entity_id> | Activate a scene | "Movie mode" → scene scene.movie_night |
| script <entity_id> | Run a script | "Run good night script" → script script.good_night |
| automation <entity_id> | Trigger an automation | "Run my morning automation" → automation automation.morning |
| climate <entity_id> <temp> | Set thermostat | "Set thermostat to 22" → climate climate.thermostat 22 |
| help | List all commands | When the user asks how to use Home Assistant |
User says → command (translate intent)
| User says | Use command |
|-----------|-------------|
| List my lights / What lights do I have? | list lights |
| Show my automations | list automation |
| Find a device or appliance by name | search <name> |
| Turn on the living room light | on light.living_room |
| Turn off the bedroom light | off light.bedroom |
| Is the garage door open? | state cover.garage_door |
| What are my home sensors reading? | list sensor or search <sensor name> then state <entity_id> |
| Run my "good night" script | script script.good_night |
| Trigger morning automation | automation automation.morning |
| Set thermostat to 21 | climate climate.thermostat 21 |
| Anything about outdoor / weather | Do NOT use this skill - use web search instead |
Finding entity IDs
If the user mentions a room or device by name and you don't know the entity_id:
- Use
search <name>(e.g.search living_room) to get matching entities and theirentity_id. - Then use
on,off,state, etc. with thatentity_id.
How to present results to the user
Always reply in natural, conversational language. The tool result includes a summary field — use that as your source of truth.
- Say: "It's 72° and sunny outside, and about 74° in the dining room."
- Do not show
entity_idvalues (e.g.sensor.dining_room_temperature,weather.forecast_home). - Do not repeat the same reading twice in different formats.
- Do not use bullet lists or labeled sections unless the user asked for a list of devices.
- Round temperatures to whole degrees when speaking (73.58° → "about 74°").
- Use friendly names (Dining Room, Outside) — never raw Home Assistant identifiers.
Notes
- Entity IDs are
domain.name(e.g.light.living_room,automation.morning). Uselistorsearchto discover them. - For raw API calls use:
call <domain> <service> [entity_id](advanced).
