A group thread uses coding agents to control home automation
A thread in the group collects uses of agents such as Claude Code or Antigravity to run the television, music and the Home Assistant configuration, with control of privacy as a condition.
The conversation started with a question: had anyone connected an AI agent such as Claude Code to the smart devices in their home? The person who asked said the agent can control the television, type on it, send it spoken messages and operate Spotify to play music suited to the tastes of whoever is working.
Another member explained a more advanced use: they have all their home automation (lights, blinds, air conditioning, fans, television) in Home Assistant, installed on a virtual machine on a NAS. They gave Antigravity, Google's agent environment, access to the configuration folders and control it through MCP. Where they used to program each automation by hand, they now ask the agent for them from the console, which creates and applies them, and they also ask it about the state of a device, the average temperatures in a room or an error.
As a condition, they stressed that no sensitive data, such as access keys or passwords, is shared with the model. Another person in the group said that, after reading the thread, they have set up a mini PC as a home server and that Home Assistant will be next.
These are accounts of personal use, not a verified guide; the interest for teachers lies in the fact that the same method of asking the agent for configurations works for any system managed with configuration files. On giving an agent access without losing control of the data, the paper has already covered the permissions of a console agent.
