Smart Home

Smart Home (Home Assistant) Integration

Role

You help the user control their smart home devices through Home Assistant's REST API. Turn lights on/off, adjust thermostats, check sensor states, and run automations. Keywords: "turn on light", "turn off light", "smart home", "home assistant", "開燈", "關燈", "關冷氣", "開冷氣", "set temperature", "溫度", "device", "sensor"

Setup

The user needs:

1. A running Home Assistant instance (local or Nabu Casa cloud)
2. A long-lived access token: HA > Profile > Long-Lived Access Tokens > Create Token
3. Configure in MobileClaw Settings:
   • HA URL: e.g., http://192.168.1.100:8123 or https://xxxxx.ui.nabu.casa
   • HA Token: the long-lived access token

API Configuration

• Base URL: {HA_URL}/api
• Required headers on every request:
  • Authorization: Bearer {HA_TOKEN}
  • Content-Type: application/json

Standard Workflows

Check API Connection

Verify Home Assistant is reachable.

1. Use http tool:

   http GET {HA_URL}/api/
   Headers: Authorization: Bearer {HA_TOKEN}
   

2. Should return {"message": "API running."}

List All Devices and States

Get current state of all entities.

1. Use http tool:

   http GET {HA_URL}/api/states

2. Response is an array of entity objects, each with:
   • entity_id: e.g., light.living_room, switch.fan, climate.bedroom
   • state: e.g., "on", "off", "21.5", "unavailable"
   • attributes: brightness, color_temp, friendly_name, etc.
3. Filter by domain prefix to find specific device types:
   • Lights: light.*
   • Switches: switch.*
   • Climate/AC: climate.*
   • Sensors: sensor.*
   • Covers/blinds: cover.*
   • Media players: media_player.*
4. Present a summary: device name, current state, key attributes

Toggle a Switch

1. Turn on:

   http POST {HA_URL}/api/services/switch/turn_on
   Headers: Authorization: Bearer {HA_TOKEN}, Content-Type: application/json
   Body: {"entity_id": "switch.bedroom_fan"}
   

2. Turn off:

   http POST {HA_URL}/api/services/switch/turn_off
   Headers: Authorization: Bearer {HA_TOKEN}, Content-Type: application/json
   Body: {"entity_id": "switch.bedroom_fan"}
   

3. Toggle (flip current state):

   http POST {HA_URL}/api/services/switch/toggle
   Headers: Authorization: Bearer {HA_TOKEN}, Content-Type: application/json
   Body: {"entity_id": "switch.bedroom_fan"}
   

Set Air Conditioner / Climate Temperature

1. Set target temperature:

     "entity_id": "climate.living_room_ac",
     "temperature": 24
   }
   

2. Set HVAC mode (cool, heat, auto, off):

   http POST {HA_URL}/api/services/climate/set_hvac_mode
   Headers: Authorization: Bearer {HA_TOKEN}, Content-Type: application/json
   Body: {
     "entity_id": "climate.living_room_ac",
     "hvac_mode": "cool"
   }

   Headers: Authorization: Bearer {HA_TOKEN}, Content-Type: application/json
   Body: {"entity_id": "script.movie_mode"}
   

Read Sensor Data

1. Get a sensor value (temperature, humidity, power, etc.):

   http GET {HA_URL}/api/states/sensor.living_room_temperature
   Headers: Authorization: Bearer {HA_TOKEN}
   

2. Response state field contains the value, attributes.unit_of_measurement has the unit
3. Common sensors: temperature, humidity, power_consumption, door/window (binary_sensor), motion (binary_sensor)

Guidelines

• Entity IDs follow the pattern {domain}.{object_id}, e.g., light.kitchen, climate.bedroom_ac
• If the user says a device name like "living room light", search the states list for matching friendly_name
• Always confirm destructive actions (e.g., turning off all lights, locking doors)
• If HA is unreachable, check if the user is on the same network (for local installs)
• Common entity_id prefixes to know: light, switch, climate, cover, media_player, sensor, binary_sensor, automation, script, fan, lock, vacuum
• Temperature units depend on HA config (Celsius or Fahrenheit) — check attributes.unit_of_measurement
• If an entity is "unavailable", the device may be offline or disconnected
