Home Assistant CLI

Control your Home Assistant smart home devices using the official hass-cli tool — a feature-rich command-line interface with auto-completion, event monitoring, and flexible output formatting.

Why This Skill vs. homeassistant (curl-based)?

Choose homeassistant-cli if you want:

• ✅ Auto-completion for entity IDs and services (bash/zsh/fish)
• ✅ Event monitoring in real-time (hass-cli event watch)
• ✅ History queries (hass-cli state history)
• ✅ Better output formatting (table/YAML/JSON with one flag)
• ✅ Interactive exploration (easier to discover entities and services)
• ✅ Comprehensive documentation with examples and troubleshooting

Choose homeassistant (curl) if you want:

• ✅ Zero dependencies (curl + jq are pre-installed)
• ✅ Lightweight and fast
• ✅ Better for scripting and automation
• ✅ No Python requirements
