Preview Execution monitoring

We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

About

Home Assistant Skill

Control smart home devices via the Home Assistant REST API.

Setup

Set environment variables:

HA_URL — Your Home Assistant URL (e.g., http://10.0.0.10:8123)
HA_TOKEN — Long-lived access token (create in HA → Profile → Long-Lived Access Tokens)

Safety Rules

Always confirm with the user before performing these actions:

Locks — locking or unlocking any lock
Alarm panels — arming or disarming
Garage doors — opening or closing (cover.* with device_class: garage)
Security automations — disabling automations related to security or safety
Covers — opening or closing covers that control physical access (gates, barriers)

Never act on security-sensitive devices without explicit user confirmation.

Entity Discovery

List all entities

curl -s "$HA_URL/api/states" -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" \
  | jq -r '.[].entity_id' | sort

List entities by domain

# Switches
curl -s "$HA_URL/api/states" -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" \
  | jq -r '.[] | select(.entity_id | startswith("switch.")) | "\(.entity_id): \(.state)"'

# Lights
curl -s "$HA_URL/api/states" -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" \
  | jq -r '.[] | select(.entity_id | startswith("light.")) | "\(.entity_id): \(.state)"'

# Sensors
curl -s "$HA_URL/api/states" -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" \
  | jq -r '.[] | select(.entity_id | startswith("sensor.")) | "\(.entity_id): \(.state) \(.attributes.unit_of_measurement // "")"'

Replace the domain prefix (switch., light., sensor., etc.) to discover entities in any domain.

Replace tts.google_en with your TTS entity and media_player.living_room_speaker with the target speaker.

Call Any Service

The general pattern for any HA service:

curl -s -X POST "$HA_URL/api/services/{domain}/{service}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"entity_id": "domain.entity_name", ...}'

Batch operations

Control multiple entities in one call by passing an array of entity IDs:

# Turn off all living room lights at once
curl -s -X POST "$HA_URL/api/services/light/turn_off" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"entity_id": ["light.living_room", "light.living_room_lamp", "light.living_room_ceiling"]}'

Error Handling

Check API connectivity

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$HA_URL/api/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN"
# Expect: 200

Verify entity exists before acting

HTTP_CODE=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
  "$HA_URL/api/states/light.nonexistent" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN")
# 200 = exists, 404 = not found

HTTP status codes

| Code | Meaning | |------|---------| | 200 | Success | | 400 | Bad request (malformed JSON or invalid service data) | | 401 | Unauthorized (bad or missing token) | | 404 | Entity or endpoint not found | | 405 | Method not allowed (wrong HTTP method) | | 503 | Home Assistant is starting up or unavailable |

Response Format

Service calls return an array of state objects for affected entities:

[{"entity_id": "light.living_room", "state": "on", "attributes": {...}, "last_changed": "..."}]

Successful call with no state change: returns [] (empty array)
State read (/api/states/...): returns a single state object
Errors: returns {"message": "..."} with an HTTP error code

Template Evaluation

The /api/template endpoint evaluates Jinja2 templates server-side. Useful for computed queries.

curl -s -X POST "$HA_URL/api/template" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HA_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type
