Lord1Egypt Home Assistant Integration v2.1 — OpenClaw Skill
Control and query your Home Assistant smart home in plain English through Telegram or any OpenClaw channel.
Setup
1. Create a Home Assistant Long-Lived Token
In Home Assistant: Profile (bottom-left) → Security → Long-Lived Access Tokens → Create Token
Copy the token immediately — it is only shown once.
2. Add credentials to openclaw.json
json { "env": { "HOME_ASSISTANT_URL": "http://homeassistant.local:8123", "HOME_ASSISTANT_TOKEN": "your-long-lived-token-here" } }
Using HTTPS with a self-signed certificate? Also add:
json "HOME_ASSISTANT_SSL_VERIFY": "false"
3. Restart OpenClaw
ash sudo systemctl restart openclaw
4. Test
Send your bot: home summary
Security Notes
- Connects only to your configured HOME_ASSISTANT_URL — no third-party calls
- Create a dedicated HA user with only the permissions your agent needs
- Store credentials in openclaw.json with restricted permissions (chmod 600)
- Prefer HOME_ASSISTANT_CA_CERT over HOME_ASSISTANT_SSL_VERIFY=false for HTTPS

The full skill implementation is in home_assistant.json in this directory. It contains all 15 snippets as Python code that the agent executes via the Home Assistant REST API (/api/states, /api/services/*).
Troubleshooting
HOME_ASSISTANT_TOKEN not configured Check the HOME_ASSISTANT_TOKEN in your openclaw.json env block and restart OpenClaw.
401 Unauthorized Token expired. Regenerate: HA → Profile → Security → Long-Lived Access Tokens.
SSL certificate verify failed Add "HOME_ASSISTANT_SSL_VERIFY": "false" to your openclaw.json env block.
Connection refused Check HOME_ASSISTANT_URL is correct and HA is running.
