📋 Step-by-Step Build Guide

STEP 1

1. Connect to Home Assistant or SmartThings API and discover all devices

Connect to Home Assistant or SmartThings API and discover all devices

Steps:
1. Validate all required inputs are available
2. Execute the operation described above
3. Verify the result meets expected output format
4. Handle errors gracefully — retry transient failures, log and alert on persistent ones
5. Return structured output with status and any relevant data

If any required data is missing, request it from the user before proceeding.

🧑 Human Required

• ## Connect the API 1. Sign up for the service if you don't have an account 2. Find the API settings in your account dashboard 3. Generate an API key or access token 4. Share the key with your agent when prompted 💡 Most services have a free tier that's sufficient to get started.

STEP 2

2. Catalog devices by room and type: lights, thermostat, door sensors, motion se

4. Handle errors gracefully — retry transient failures, log and alert on persistent ones
5. Return structured output with status and any relevant data

If any required data is missing, request it from the user before proceeding.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: The next step (Step 3: "3. Set up monitoring rules: door open >10min → alert, motion detected while away") requires human action. Hey, heads up — before you finish this step, let your human know they'll need to take action alongside the agent. Don't proceed to the next step until your human confirms they're ready.

STEP 3

3. Set up monitoring rules: door open >10min → alert, motion detected while away

3. Set up monitoring rules: door open >10min → alert, motion detected while away → alert, temperature out of range → alert

Set up monitoring rules: door open >10min → alert, motion detected while away → alert, temperature out of range → alert

5. Return structured output with status and any relevant data

If any required data is missing, request it from the user before proceeding.

🧑 Human Required

• ## Configure Your Rules Your agent needs your preferences for: - **Thresholds**: What values trigger alerts? - **Channels**: Where should alerts go? (Slack, SMS, email) - **Schedule**: How often to check? - **Escalation**: What happens if an alert isn't acknowledged? Review the defaults your agent suggests and customize as needed.

STEP 5

5. Weather-aware thermostat: adjust based on forecast (pre-cool before a hot day

5. Weather-aware thermostat: adjust based on forecast (pre-cool before a hot day, pre-heat before cold snap)

Use the OpenWeatherMap API to fetch weather data for the user's location.

GET https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q={city}&appid={api_key}&units=imperial

Extract: current temperature, conditions, humidity, wind speed, and rain probability.
Format concisely: "72°F, Partly Cloudy, 45% humidity, 8mph wind, 10% rain"

If the API returns an error, retry once with a 2-second delay. If it fails again, use "Weather data unavailable" as a placeholder and continue with the remaining steps.
