ha-mcp

Use when editing an existing automation, script, scene, or dashboard with `action: patch`. Examples: "add a trigger", "replace a dashboard card", "remove a condition", "change automation mode", "add delay to trigger".

Use when a ha-mcp call returns an unexpected result, error, or behaves differently than expected. Examples: "scene not appearing after create", "helper entity_id is wrong", "patch failing with missing config", "automation ID mismatch".

Use when choosing which ha-mcp tool or action to call. Examples: "How do I list entities?", "create a helper", "turn on a light", "find devices in kitchen", "which action should I use?".

Use when planning multi-call ha-mcp workflows or when token usage matters. Examples: "query 50 entities", "batch-update labels", "reduce response size", "avoid unnecessary API calls".

Use when working with Home Assistant via the ha-mcp MCP server. Examples: "create automation", "toggle light", "list entities in living room", "patch dashboard", "create helper", "query sensors".
