Can AI agents automate Home Assistant?

Open Home Foundation · hybrid · productivityopen-source

Home Assistant is automatable today through its REST API. This record is the Open Home Foundation home-automation platform. It is not an industrial control system. The homepage says Home Assistant is open source, keeps data local, and is a project of the Open Home Foundation. Nabu Casa makes official products. The REST API is on the same host as the web UI, default port 8123 except Home Assistant OS, which uses port 80. Calls send Authorization: Bearer with a long-lived access token from the profile page and use JSON. The opened reference includes /api/, /api/config, and a POST that sets a state. homeassistant-ai/ha-mcp describes itself as unofficial. GitHub reported a push on 2026-10-09. The README's current install is an in-process custom component that exposes a webhook URL. This pass did not find an Open Home Foundation page that adopts that server, and it did not prove that no official server exists. https://www.home-assistant.io/llms.txt returned 404. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API scores 7 and is the best path. The community MCP scores 4.
