Version History

v1.1.2Jan 11, 2026 - Version note by skill developer:

- Add `homeycli` wrapper entrypoint to reduce "permission denied" issues and automatically install npm deps if missing. - Add `homeycli device <name> capabilities` to list settable capabilities. - Local onboarding smoothing: `auth set-local` attempts mDNS discovery if address is missing.

What This Skill Does

Controls Athom Homey smart home devices via local network or cloud APIs. Supports listing and controlling devices, triggering automation flows, and querying zones. Compatible with Homey Pro, Cloud, and Bridge.

Enables scripted and agent-driven smart home control without the Homey app, supporting both local LAN access and remote cloud access from any hosting environment.

When to use it

  • Turn bedroom lights on/off from a chat command
  • Trigger a 'Good Night' automation flow remotely
  • Check current thermostat temperature while away
  • Set light brightness and color for a specific room
  • List all devices in a zone to audit smart home state
