Home Assistant
The open-source home-automation hub a person runs on their own hardware, and the one hub through which every brand they already own is reachable. Its REST API (states, service calls, history) is authorized with a long-lived access token the user creates on their own profile page. The recommended path for /smart-home: connect the hub, not each brand.

SHAI talks to it directly, with the key you paste. It is one of the tools SHAI has written up — what it costs, why it matters, what breaks without it — as `home-assistant` in the tool guide.
What it needs
a key you paste, in Setup or on /connections
Nothing else. It is connectable on this deployment as it stands.

Whatever a run does with this tool goes through one door and one approval row: reading is allowed by default, anything that writes, sends or spends stops and asks first, and you can set that per tool on Connections. Plain text for this page: /integrations/home-assistant/index.md.
