What This Skill Does
Controls smart home devices through a Home Assistant instance using natural language commands. Supports preset scene modes for different activities, individual device control for lights, music, and thermostat, and wake-on-LAN for PCs. Device mappings and scenes are defined in a local config file.
Wraps Home Assistant's REST API with natural language so device control works without opening the HA dashboard or app.
When to use it
- Activating study mode to set desk lamp to full brightness and start a focus playlist
- Saying 'goodnight' to trigger the sleep scene across all devices
- Waking up a PC remotely before walking to the desk
- Adjusting thermostat temperature with a casual phrase like 'it's cold'
- Running 'I'm heading out' to cut lights and switch to eco mode
