The OpenClawHomeAssistant add-on bridges the gap between OpenClaw's conversational intelligence and Home Assistant's device control capabilities.


What You Can Do

  • "Turn off all the lights except the bedroom"
  • "Set the thermostat to 68 when I leave for work"
  • "Show me the front door camera"
  • "Create a movie night scene โ€” dim lights, close blinds, turn on the projector"
  • "If the garage door is open after 10 PM, close it and notify me"

Why It's Better Than Voice Assistants

  • Context Understanding: Remembers your preferences and patterns
  • Complex Commands: Handles multi-step routines in natural language
  • Proactive: Can suggest automations based on your habits
  • Private: Runs locally โ€” no cloud dependency for home control

Technical Setup

  • Install as a Home Assistant add-on
  • Configure OpenClaw connection (local or remote)
  • Grant access to your HA entities
  • Use via Telegram, WhatsApp, or any connected messaging platform

Supported Devices

Anything Home Assistant supports: Philips Hue, IKEA, Zigbee, Z-Wave, WiFi devices, cameras, thermostats, locks, blinds, and more.

Requirements

  • Home Assistant installation
  • OpenClaw server (local or remote)
  • Claude API Key
