What This Skill Does
moltbot-ha is a CLI tool for controlling Home Assistant devices, scenes, and automations through the Home Assistant REST API. It supports lights, switches, covers, climate, and other entity domains. A configurable 3-level safety system requires explicit confirmation before executing critical actions like opening garage doors or triggering alarms.
Exposes the full Home Assistant service API through a simple CLI with built-in safeguards, avoiding the need to write custom REST calls or navigate the HA web UI for scripted control.
When to use it
- Turn lights on/off and adjust brightness from the terminal
- Activate Home Assistant scenes like movie mode or goodnight
- Check sensor readings for temperature, humidity, or motion
- Trigger morning or evening automation routines
- Open or close blinds and garage doors with safety confirmation
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Turn on the kitchen light at 80% brightness and set color temperature to 350
- 1Run `moltbot-ha list light` to confirm entity ID exists
- 2Run `moltbot-ha set light.kitchen brightness_pct=80 color_temp=350` to apply both attributes
- 3Verify result by running `moltbot-ha state light.kitchen`
Kitchen light is on at 80% brightness with color temperature 350
