Practical overview
When it fits
Use it from Claude Code when working in a Home Assistant configuration repository and you need procedural guidance for configuration edits, automation development or dashboard work.
Who it is for
- Home Assistant users who work with configuration files and want Claude Code to guide edits and deployment workflows.
- People developing or debugging Home Assistant automations.
- People creating or adapting Lovelace dashboards, including tablet-oriented layouts.
Documented uses
- Edit Home Assistant configuration and choose an appropriate reload or restart workflow.
- Develop automation YAML and check behavior through manual triggers, logs and traces.
- Diagnose template errors and iterate on fixes.
- Create Lovelace dashboards using relevant views, cards and templates.
Requirements & limits
- The skill provides procedures and Home Assistant-specific guidance; live entity-state reads and service calls depend on MCP tools when available.
- The documented remote CLI workflow uses SSH and
hass-cli, withHASS_SERVERandHASS_TOKENenvironment variables. - Installation is available through the Claude Code plugin marketplace or by placing the skill in a Home Assistant configuration repository.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
