HA Agentvia Telegram

Home Assistant is great for persistent automations — "turn on the lights at sunset" runs every day, forever. But most of what I actually want is one-shot. "Turn on the porch light when I get home" — just this once, not every day for the rest of my life. In HA, doing that means writing a YAML automation, triggering it, then remembering to delete it. Nobody does that.

This agent controls your entire Home Assistant setup through Telegram. Send a message like "turn off all the lights in 20 minutes" or "when the front door opens, flash the kitchen light" — it understands the intent, creates the automation, and cleans it up after it fires. Ephemeral by default.

Under the hood, it uses the Claude API to parse natural language into HA service calls and automation configs. The Telegram integration means I can control my house from anywhere without opening the HA app.

The Home Assistant community has been requesting exactly this since 2020.
