What it does
The repository turns Claude Code into a workstation for configuring Home Assistant. It holds more than 70 automation templates, a mobile React dashboard in place of the stock Lovelace and CLI tools that tie the project to your server. You describe a task in words, the agent writes YAML and code, validates it and deploys. The `.claude/skills` folder has the `setup-customize`, `setup-infrastructure`, `entity-rename`, `release` and `upgrade` skills. Hooks check YAML, TypeScript types, entity references and private data before pushing. Work follows a structured Compound Engineering process where each step is documented.
Who it is for. Smart-home owners on Home Assistant with SSH access to the server who outgrew Lovelace and need climate zones, energy and scenarios.
Good fit when
- Automations and the dashboard should live in Git without a click editor.
- You need a heating zone that drives the boiler and radiator valves from sensors.
- Entities have to be renamed consistently without breaking references.
- Config needs an automatic check before it is pushed to the server.
Not a fit when
- You want to set up a couple of devices quickly without Git and SSH.
- There is no SSH access to the Home Assistant server.
- You are not ready to trust AI-generated code edits without your own review.
Example request
Add an automation: when solar output exceeds consumption, the air conditioners heat the living room, with a manual override.Limitations
SSH access to Home Assistant, a long-lived token, Python 3.12 or newer and rsync are required. The token and addresses live in the `.env` file, so keep it out of Git. The agent pushes configuration to your live server, and a YAML error affects a real home. The project is built around the author installation, so templates and the dashboard must be adapted to your devices. There is no visual dashboard editor.
How to disable. Delete the cloned folder and revoke the token in Home Assistant. Remove configuration files on the server by hand or restore them from a backup.
FAQ
What is needed to start?
SSH to the Home Assistant server, a long-lived token, Python 3.12 or newer and rsync. Details are in `SETUP.md`.
Where do I start?
Clone the repository, fill in `.env` and run `make setup`, then open the project in Claude Code and run the setup skill.
Which skills are included?
`setup-customize`, `setup-infrastructure`, `entity-rename`, `release` and `upgrade`.
How is private data protected?
The `privacy-guard.sh` hook compares files with private-value patterns, and a GitHub Actions scan looks for secrets.
Can other agents be used?
The repository has an `AGENTS.md`, but the process and hooks are written for Claude Code.
