#smart-home

Use when a user wants an AI agent to connect to Home Assistant, check device and sensor status, or control lights, switches, and scenes. Connects via Home Assistant's built-in REST API using a long-lived access token, verifies the connection first, then reads and controls devices. Security-sensitive actions such as door locks and alarms must always be confirmed with the user first. Use case: Connect your AI agent to Home Assistant to view and control your smart home.

Beginner tutorial: Create a long-lived access token in Home Assistant, hand a short prompt to your AI agent, and it can check the status of your home devices and, with your approval, turn lights on and off for you.
