ha-automation

Manage automations, scripts, and scenes. Prerequisite: ../ha-shared/SKILL.md. To author a NEW automation from a request, follow ../ha-workflow-automation-builder/SKILL.md.

Commands

hass-cli workflow automation list                 # entities + state (on/off, last_triggered)
hass-cli workflow automation get <id>             # full config (REST config editor)
hass-cli workflow automation save <id> --file a.yaml
hass-cli workflow automation delete <id>
hass-cli workflow automation reload
hass-cli workflow automation trigger automation.<name>

script and scene share the same verbs (scene trigger maps to scene.turn_on).

Dual storage (important)

Home Assistant has two automation storages:

• UI storage (.storage): 32-char hex id, plural keys triggers/conditions/actions.
• File storage (automations.yaml): any id, singular keys trigger/condition/action.

When you save, match the keys to the target. save <id> to a UI-managed id should use the plural form. If save returns HTTP 404, the config integration (default_config) is not enabled on that instance.

Inspect failures

hass-cli workflow automation get <id>
hass-cli system logbook --entity automation.<name>
hass-cli raw ws trace/list --data '{"domain":"automation","item_id":"<id>"}'
