At a glance

Control Athom Homey smart home devices via local (LAN/VPN) or cloud APIs.

  • Works in 3 steps: Decide local vs cloud → Configure → Test connection
  • SKILL.md covers Setup, Commands, Common Capabilities and Fuzzy Matching, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs JavaScript and Shell scripts from its folder; calls jq; needs LOCAL_API_KEY and CLOUD_TOKEN

What it does

Homey is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Control Athom Homey smart home devices via local (LAN/VPN) or cloud APIs. List/control devices, trigger flows, query zones. Works with Homey Pro, Cloud, and Bridge.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 26 other files, including scripts (for example `CHANGELOG.md`, `EXAMPLES.md` and `INSTALL.sh`).

The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

Example prompts

  • “/homey”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in LOCAL_API_KEY
  • A credential in CLOUD_TOKEN

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Decide local vs cloud
  2. Configure
  3. Test connection

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/ (JavaScript and Shell, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • tools.developer.homey.app

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

  • Credentials

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

    • LOCAL_API_KEY
    • CLOUD_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Homey loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 380 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 380 words (~1,461 tokens).

“Control Athom Homey devices via local (LAN/VPN) or cloud APIs using token authentication.”
