Smart Home Hub — Email, Home Assistant, SSH, Todos, Shopping List

This is the ultimate smart home integration. One user connected virtually every aspect of their digital and physical life through a single OpenClaw agent accessible via Telegram.

What's Connected

• Email: Auto-archiving, priority sorting, draft responses
• Home Assistant: Light control, thermostat, sensors, automations
• Homelab: SSH access to manage servers, containers, services
• Task Management: Synced with Things and Apple Notes
• Shopping List: Maintained and updated based on inventory tracking

The Single Interface

All of this is accessible through one Telegram conversation:

• "Turn off the living room lights" → Home Assistant command
• "Add milk to the shopping list" → List updated
• "Check if the Plex server is running" → SSH check
• "What's my top priority task?" → Things integration
• "Archive all promotional emails" → Email cleanup

Architecture

• OpenClaw as the central orchestrator
• Telegram Bot as the user interface
• Individual skills for each integration
• Home network access for Home Assistant and SSH

Why It Works

Instead of switching between 5+ apps, everything goes through one chat. The agent understands context and routes requests to the right service automatically.
