Bidirectional Home Assistant integration — HA cameras in, detection results out

  • AI & LLM Engineering work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers How It Works, Wraps and Setup
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3 and pip

What it does

Homeassistant Bridge is an agent skill from SharpAI/DeepCamera. Bidirectional Home Assistant integration — HA cameras in, detection results out

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/bridge.py`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. It works with Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Open-Source AI Camera Skills Platform, AI NVR & CCTV Surveillance. Local VLM video analysis with Qwen, DeepSeek, SmolVLM, LLaVA, YOLO26. LLM-powered agentic security camera agent… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • AI & LLM Engineering work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/homeassistant-bridge”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 933dcc7. 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/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Homeassistant Bridge loads about 437 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 41 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~437

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.

Home Assistant Bridge

Bidirectional integration: HA camera feeds flow into Aegis's AI pipeline (detection → VLM → REID), and analysis results flow back as HA image_processing entities for automations.

Wraps

This skill builds on DeepCamera's src/home-assistant-py/ and src/home-assistant-nodejs/ modules.

Setup
