# Home Assistant automations via Claude Code

Claude Code, connected to Home Assistant through an MCP server, debugged a misfiring automation, adjusted a dim level, and built a new shed motion-light automation.

Result: A camera automation that fired 5 times in 40 minutes was fixed in under two minutes, and shed motion lights were built.

## How it was set up

Claude Code with a Home Assistant MCP server, automations as YAML in a git repo deployed by scp, plus two project skills files for HA and OpenWrt conventions.

## Worth knowing

Author reviews what Claude proposes and course-corrects. No repo or trace output is shown, only the author's account.

## Prompt

```text
Why did the Home Assistant automation [automation name] just run? Check its recent traces, find the trigger cause, propose a fix with explicit from/to filters, deploy it, reload automations, and commit to git.
```

## Evidence note

Author's blog post with before/after YAML and trace findings; no repo
