Home Assistant Entities Services

This is your go-to when you need to work with Home Assistant entities and services through Claude. It covers discovery, state inspection, entity management (renaming, labeling, hiding), and service calls using the ha-mcp tool set. The workflow is sensible: discover first, inspect state, then act. It references best practices for helpers, templates, and refactoring, which matters when you're renaming entities across automations or picking the right helper type. The tooling map is comprehensive, from basic entity lookups to device updates and group management. If you're building automations or cleaning up a messy Home Assistant config, this handles the entity and service layer cleanly without requiring you to memorize the entire ha-mcp API surface.
