description	List and control smart-home devices (lights, thermostats, switches, covers, speakers) via the profile's configured bridge. Triggers: smart home, turn on/off, lights, thermostat, dim, brightness, temperature, unlock, devices, 智能家居, 开灯, 关灯, 空调, 窗帘, 灯光, 设备.

Smart Home

List and control smart-home devices through the bridge configured on this profile (e.g. Home Assistant or a compatible gateway). Camera video is not available through this skill — it is a UI-only feature in the octos-web dashboard.

Requires a bridge to be configured for the profile first (dashboard: Settings → Smart Home). In octos chat, set the SMART_HOME_BRIDGE_URL (and optionally SMART_HOME_BRIDGE_TOKEN) env vars instead. If no bridge is configured, tools will report that clearly instead of failing silently.

Tools

smart_home_list_devices

Returns every device the bridge knows about, with its current state (on/off, brightness, temperature, and other fields the device reports). Use this first to find a device's exact device_id before controlling it.

{"room": "Living Room"}

Parameters:

• room (optional): Filter to devices in a given room, case-insensitive. Omit to list everything.

smart_home_control_device

Sends a command to one device by ID.

{"device_id": "light.living_room_lamp", "params": {"on": true, "brightness": 60}}

Parameters:

• device_id (required): Exact ID from smart_home_list_devices.

• params (required): Object of fields to set. Common examples:

  • {"on": true} / {"on": false} — power switches, lights, plugs
  • {"brightness": 0-100} — dimmable lights
  • {"temperature": <number>} — thermostats
  • {"volume": 0-100} — speakers, TVs
  • {"position": 0-100} — covers, blinds, curtains
  • {"color": "#rrggbb"} — color-capable lights
  • {"mode": "..."} — multi-mode appliances (fans, HVAC, etc.)

  Supported fields vary by device kind — use the fields already present on that device in smart_home_list_devices's output as a guide.
