Home Control

Home Control Skill

When the user asks to control devices at home, follow these steps:

1. First call get_rooms or get_devices_by_room / get_devices_by_type to discover what's available.
2. Match the user's natural-language reference (e.g. "the bedroom light") to a concrete device id.
3. Call execute_command with the device id and desired action.
4. Confirm the action briefly in speech (e.g. "Turned off the bedroom light").

Best practices

• Prefer get_device_state before executing a command when you are unsure of current state.
• When the user says "all lights", filter by type "light" and iterate, or use the scene/group if available.
• When a command may have been issued already, avoid duplicating it.
• If no matching device is found, tell the user exactly which rooms/devices you saw.

Error handling

• If a provider is offline, try another provider (HomeAssistant → SwitchBot → MQTT) when possible.
• Report errors in plain language, not technical details.
