Overview

How it was set up

OpenClaw in an Ubuntu LXC (2GB RAM, 2 cores) connected to Home Assistant through ha-mcp, with Telegram, Gmail, ElevenLabs voice, and markdown memory files synced nightly to GitHub.

Worth knowing

The visible text covers only a few demos; the security and cost section is cut off, and the setup needs Claude API access.
