Smart Home Energy Saver

Goal

Provide energy-saving recommendations and draft automations without changing device states.

Best fit

• Use when the user has Home Assistant energy and device data.
• Use when the user wants schedule recommendations and savings estimates.
• Use when the user wants draft automation YAML for review.

Not fit

• Avoid when the user asks to apply automations automatically.
• Avoid when critical systems are involved without safety review.
• Avoid when data sources are missing or unreliable.

Quick orientation

• references/overview.md for workflow and quality bar.
• references/auth.md for access and token handling.
• references/endpoints.md for optional integrations and templates.
• references/webhooks.md for async event handling.
• references/ux.md for intake questions and output formats.
• references/troubleshooting.md for common issues.
• references/safety.md for safety and privacy guardrails.

Required inputs

• Home Assistant instance info and read-only token (if used).
• List of controllable devices and comfort constraints.
• Energy tariff schedule and target savings goals.
• Preferred operating hours and exceptions.

Expected output

• Energy usage summary and top savings opportunities.
• Draft automation YAML snippets with explanations.
• Estimated impact ranges and assumptions.
• Manual checklist for safe rollout.

Operational notes

• Only propose automations; never apply changes.
• Respect comfort and safety constraints.
• Flag any automation that could affect safety or accessibility.

Security notes

• Keep tokens in environment variables if provided.
• Avoid exposing home addresses or device identifiers in outputs.

Safe mode

• Read-only analysis and draft automation files only.
• No live device control or configuration updates.

Sensitive ops

• Applying automations or controlling devices is out of scope.
