At a glance

Control Home Assistant smart home devices, run automations, and receive webhook events.

  • Works in 3 steps: Create HA Automation with Webhook Action → Define REST Command in HA → Handle in Clawdbot
  • Controlling lights
  • SKILL.md covers Setup, Quick Reference, Common Services and Inbound Webhooks (HA → Clawdbot), plus 3 more sections
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls curl and jq; needs HA_TOKEN

What it does

Home Assistant is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Control Home Assistant smart home devices, run automations, and receive webhook events. Use when controlling lights, switches, climate, scenes, scripts, or any HA entity. Supports bidirectional communication via REST API (outbound) and webhooks (inbound triggers from HA automations).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api.md` and `scripts/ha.sh`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks and REST APIs. It works with Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Controlling lights
  • From HA automations)

Example prompts

  • “/home-assistant”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Create HA Automation with Webhook Action
  2. Define REST Command in HA
  3. Handle in Clawdbot

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • HA_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Home Assistant loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 207 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 207 words (~1,254 tokens).
