What it does

Homey CLI is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Control Homey home automation hub via CLI. Use when you need to control smart home devices (lights, thermostats, sockets, etc.), check device status, list zones, trigger flows, or perform any Homey automation tasks. Supports on/off, dimming, color changes, temperature control, and device inspection. Safe, capability-allowlisted operations only.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

When your agent uses it

  • You need to control smart home devices (lights
  • Check device status
  • Perform any Homey automation tasks

Example prompts

  • “/homey-cli”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in HOMEY_CLIENT_SECRET

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install Dependencies
  2. Create Homey App Credentials
  3. Configure Environment
  4. Login

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • npm

    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:

    • HOMEY_CLIENT_SECRET

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

Context cost

Homey CLI loads about 852 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 240 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~852

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

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
