Home Assistant Office Lamp Control

Control the office lamp through Home Assistant's REST API.

Setup (First-Time Only)

Create your config file at ~/.claude/skill-config/control-office-lamp/config.json:

{
  "url": "http://your-home-assistant:8123",
  "token": "YOUR_LONG_LIVED_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE",
  "entity_id": "light.office_lamp"
}

This location persists across skill updates.

To create a Long-Lived Access Token:

  1. Open Home Assistant -> Profile (bottom-left)
  2. Scroll to "Long-Lived Access Tokens" -> Create Token
  3. Copy the token into config.json

Config lookup order:

  1. HA_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  2. ~/.claude/skill-config/control-office-lamp/config.json (recommended)
  3. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/control-office-lamp/config.json (plugin root)
  4. <script-directory>/../config.json (fallback)

Usage

The script is located relative to the plugin root using ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}:

# Turn lamp on
uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/control-office-lamp/scripts/lamp_control.py" on

# Turn lamp off
uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/control-office-lamp/scripts/lamp_control.py" off

# Toggle lamp state
uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/control-office-lamp/scripts/lamp_control.py" toggle

# Check current status
uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/control-office-lamp/scripts/lamp_control.py" status

Response Handling

Success response:

{"success": true, "action": "turn_on", "entity_id": "light.office_lamp", "response": [...]}

Error response:

If errors occur, verify:

  1. Home Assistant is running at the configured URL
