Home Assistant (REST) — Quick Use

Security first

  • Prefer a dedicated Home Assistant user for this assistant.
  • Use a Long-Lived Access Token (LLAT) from that user.
  • Never commit tokens to git; store them in secrets/ (gitignored).
  • If HA is exposed on the public internet, ensure HTTPS, strong auth, and ideally IP restrictions / VPN.

Setup (one-time)

  1. Set your HA base URL (you have: https://ghar.nicolaischmid.de).
  2. Save token to a local secret file:

- mkdir -p /root/.openclaw/workspace/secrets - chmod 700 /root/.openclaw/workspace/secrets - write token to: /root/.openclaw/workspace/secrets/hatoken - chmod 600 /root/.openclaw/workspace/secrets/hatoken

Optional env overrides:

  • HAURL (default taken from secrets/haurl if present)
  • HATOKEN (default read from secrets/hatoken)

Inventory / context

  • The current device/entity overview lives in:

- skills/homeassistant/references/inventory-nice.md (most useful controls) - skills/homeassistant/references/inventory.md (broader controllable list)

  • Refresh anytime by running:

- node scripts/ha-refresh-context.mjs

Commands

Wrapper script (JSON by default):

  • Ping:

- node scripts/ha.mjs ping

  • Get entity state:

- node scripts/ha.mjs state light.living_room

  • Call a service:

- node scripts/ha.mjs call light turnon '{"entityid":"light.livingroom","brightnesspct":50}'

  • List entities (compact):

- node scripts/ha.mjs list --domain light

REST endpoints (reference)

  • GET /api/
  • GET /api/states/<entity_id>
  • POST /api/services/<domain>/<service> with JSON body
