Install with your agent
Agent handoff
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
Upgrade existing
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

The Problem
By default, HA services are "fire-and-forget" and return empty arrays [].
The Solution (HA 2023.7+)
Register service with supports_response: from homeassistant.helpers.service import SupportsResponse hass.services.async_register( domain, "get_full_config", handle_get_full_config, schema=GET_CONFIG_SCHEMA, supports_response=SupportsResponse.ONLY, # โ KEY PARAMETER ) Call with ?return_response flag: curl -X POST "$HA_URL/api/services/your_domain/get_full_config?return_response"
Response Handler
async def handle_get_full_config(hass: HomeAssistant, call: ServiceCall): """Handle the service call and return data.""" # ... your logic ... return {"entities": entity_data, "automations": automation_data}
HTTP View vs Service: When to Use Each
Use CaseUseDon't UseReturn complex dataHTTP ViewService (without response support)Fire-and-forget actionsServiceHTTP ViewTrigger automationsServiceHTTP ViewQuery state/configHTTP ViewInternal storage APIs
HTTP View Pattern
For data retrieval APIs: from homeassistant.components.http import HomeAssistantView class OpenClawConfigView(HomeAssistantView): """HTTP view for retrieving config.""" url = "/api/openclaw/config" name = "api:openclaw:config" requires_auth = True async def get(self, request): hass = request.app["hass"] config = await get_config_data(hass) return json_response(config) # Register in async_setup: hass.http.register_view(OpenClawConfigView())
Critical: Avoid Internal APIs
Never use underscore-prefixed APIs โ they're private and change between versions. โ Wrong: storage_collection = hass.data["_storage_collection"] โ Right: # Use public APIs only from homeassistant.helpers.storage import Store store = Store(hass, STORAGE_VERSION, STORAGE_KEY)
For Small Data (Settings, Cache)
from homeassistant.helpers.storage import Store STORAGE_KEY = "your_domain.storage" STORAGE_VERSION = 1 store = Store(hass, STORAGE_VERSION, STORAGE_KEY) # Save data = {"entities": modified_entities} await store.async_save(data) # Load data = await store.async_load()
For Large Data (History, Logs)
Use external database or file storage, not HA storage helpers.

Lesson Learned
From HA-OpenClaw Bridge attempt: "80% of our issues were discoverable with 30-60 minutes of upfront docs reading. We jumped straight to coding based on assumptions rather than reading how HA actually works." Use skills/pre-coding-research/ methodology before starting.
