I use Claude Code (Anthropic’s AI assistant) directly into Home Assistant. With it, you can create automations, debug configurations, and manage your smart home using natural language through Claude Code.

Table of Contents

What does it do?

Create automations by describing what you want in plain English

Access your entities - Claude can see your sensors, lights, climate, etc.

Edit YAML configurations directly

Debug automations that aren’t working

 

Usage examples

claude “List all my automations”

claude “Create an automation to turn off lights when I leave home”

claude “Why isn’t my motion sensor automation working?”

claude “Show the state of all temperature sensors”

 

How does it work?

The HA-MCP Custom Component from HACS uses ha-mcp server(Model Context Protocol) which allows Claude to:

Query entity states

Control devices

List available services

Access the entire Home Assistant API

 

Requirements

Home Assistant Docker

Anthropic account
