Home Assistant Integration
Control smart home devices — lights, automations, scenes — directly from the agent dashboard.
Overview
AI agents can control 97 Home Assistant devices (lights, switches, automations, scripts) via an MCP server. The Subagent Dashboard includes a dedicated /home route with a clean table UI for browsing and controlling devices by room.
How It Works
The ha-mcp MCP server exposes Home Assistant's API as Claude-accessible tools. The dashboard backend proxies these tools and adds polling for device state. The frontend renders devices in a searchable table with inline brightness sliders and one-tap toggles. Commands execute via the backend API.
Tools Used
Outcome
Deployed a working home automation UI in the agent dashboard with 30-second state polling. Leadership can control office lights and run automations without switching apps. Agents can trigger scenes as part of workflow automation.
