# Send Home Assistant Assist to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - 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. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text 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. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "homeassistant-assist", "name": "Home Assistant Assist", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "开发工具", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/DevelopmentCats/homeassistant-assist", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/DevelopmentCats/homeassistant-assist", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/homeassistant-assist", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=homeassistant-assist", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "CHANGELOG.md", "README.md", "SKILL.md" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-04-30T16:55:25.780Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-07T16:55:25.780Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=network", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=network", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"network-1.0.0.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null }, "scope": "source", "summary": "Source download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this source.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/homeassistant-assist" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/homeassistant-assist", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/homeassistant-assist", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/homeassistant-assist/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/homeassistant-assist/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/homeassistant-assist/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### Home Assistant Assist Control smart home devices by passing natural language to Home Assistant's Assist (Conversation) API. Fire and forget — trust Assist to handle intent parsing, entity resolution, and execution. ### When to Use This Skill Use this skill when the user wants to control or query any smart home device. If it's in Home Assistant, Assist can handle it. ### How It Works Pass the user's request directly to Assist: curl -s -X POST "$HASS_SERVER/api/conversation/process" \\ -H "Authorization: Bearer $HASS_TOKEN" \\ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\ -d '{"text": "USER REQUEST HERE", "language": "en"}' Trust Assist. It handles: Intent parsing Fuzzy entity name matching Area-aware commands Execution Error responses ### Handling Responses Just relay what Assist says. The response.speech.plain.speech field contains the human-readable result. "Turned on the light" → Success, tell the user "Sorry, I couldn't understand that" → Assist couldn't parse it "Sorry, there are multiple devices called X" → Ambiguous name Don't over-interpret. If Assist says it worked, it worked. Trust the response. ### When Assist Returns an Error Only if Assist returns an error (response_type: "error"), you can suggest HA-side improvements: ErrorSuggestionno_intent_match"HA didn't recognize that command"no_valid_targets"Try checking the entity name in HA, or add an alias"Multiple devices"There may be duplicate names — consider adding unique aliases in HA" These are suggestions for improving HA config, not skill failures. The skill did its job — it passed the request to Assist. ### Setup Set environment variables in OpenClaw config: { "env": { "HASS_SERVER": "https://your-homeassistant-url", "HASS_TOKEN": "your-long-lived-access-token" } } Generate a token: Home Assistant → Profile → Long-Lived Access Tokens → Create Token ### Endpoint POST /api/conversation/process Note: Use /api/conversation/process, NOT /api/services/conversation/process. ### Request { "text": "turn on the kitchen lights", "language": "en" } ### Response { "response": { "speech": { "plain": {"speech": "Turned on the light"} }, "response_type": "action_done", "data": { "success": [{"name": "Kitchen Light", "id": "light.kitchen"}], "failed": [] } } } ### Philosophy Trust Assist — It knows the user's HA setup better than we do Fire and forget — Pass the request, relay the response Don't troubleshoot — If something doesn't work, suggest HA config improvements Keep it simple — One API call, natural language in, natural language out ### Links Home Assistant Conversation API Docs ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: DevelopmentCats - Version: 1.1.1 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Source download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this source. - Health scope: source - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-30T16:55:25.780Z - Expires at: 2026-05-07T16:55:25.780Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/homeassistant-assist) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/homeassistant-assist/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/homeassistant-assist/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/homeassistant-assist/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/homeassistant-assist)
