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.
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.
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:
Just relay what Assist says. The
response.speech.plain.speech"Turned on the light""Sorry, I couldn't understand that""Sorry, there are multiple devices called X"Don't over-interpret. If Assist says it worked, it worked. Trust the response.
Only if Assist returns an error (
response_type: "error"| Error | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| "HA didn't recognize that command" |
| "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.
Set environment variables in OpenClaw config:
