Homey
Purpose
Read device state and write capability values on a Homey Pro (local) or Homey cloud account through the Homey Web API: lights and outlets, dimmers and color, thermostats, connected locks, blinds and curtains, plus listing Flows (automations). Use it when the user asks about or wants to change anything paired to their Homey. Writes drive real physical hardware, so they are confirmation-gated (see Operating Rules).
Tooling
All commands go through bin/homey.py. --host is required on every run:
the API root, either local (http://<homey-ip>/api) or cloud
(https://<cloud-id>.connect.athom.com/api):
bin/homey.py --host http://192.168.1.60/api auth # status check: verify token, count devices
bin/homey.py --host <api-root> devices # list devices with capabilities
bin/homey.py --host <api-root> device --id <id> # device detail
# Writes. Lock writes are HIGH: they REQUIRE --confirm naming the exact
# physical effect, on every run:
bin/homey.py --host <api-root> set --id <id> --cap locked --value false \
--confirm "unlock the side door"
# Other capability writes are MEDIUM: --confirm on first use per device, then
# proceed:
bin/homey.py --host <api-root> set --id <id> --cap onoff --value true \
--confirm "turn on the living room floor lamp"
bin/homey.py --host <api-root> set --id <id> --cap target_temperature --value 21 \
--confirm "set the bedroom thermostat target to 21 degrees"
# Blind/curtain writes are LOW: they proceed with a logged notice:
bin/homey.py --host <api-root> set --id <id> --cap windowcoverings_state --value up
# Flows:
bin/homey.py --host <api-root> flows
bin/homey.py --host <api-root> flow-trigger --id <flow-id> \
--confirm "run the Good Morning flow (opens blinds, starts coffee machine)"
--value is JSON-parsed: true, 0.5, 21, '"heat"'. Capability names
follow Homey's conventions: onoff, dim, locked, target_temperature,
thermostat_mode, windowcoverings_state, light_hue, light_saturation.
Open item: flow-trigger ships with an UNTESTED path
(POST /manager/flow/flow/{id}/trigger). Its exact form could not be pinned
from public docs at build time; verify it against Athom's docs on first live
use. It is HIGH-gated regardless.
Auth
- Provider id:
homey(credential is collected ascustom.homey) - Collection: personal API token (Homey Pro) or OAuth 2.0 token (Homey cloud)
via the secure credential flow (
credentials.request_api_access). The CLI sends it asAuthorization: Bearer <token>. - Allowed hosts: whatever
--hostnames (the Homey's LAN IP/hostname or<cloud-id>.connect.athom.com). The CLI pins egress to that host per run. - Status check:
bin/homey.py --host <api-root> auth
Operating Rules
- HIGH actuations are blocked without explicit confirmation. Setting
lockedto false (unlock) or true (lock) requires--confirm "<exact physical effect>"on every run. Triggering a Flow is also HIGH: a Flow's physical effects are whatever its actions do, so--confirmmust name them, and the Flow's actions should be read back to the user before confirming when they are not obvious. - MEDIUM actuations confirm on first use per device.
onoff,dim,light_hue/light_saturation, thermostat capabilities:--confirmthe first time a device is actuated; the CLI records it locally (~/.config/muse-connectors/homey/confirmed.json) and later runs proceed. - LOW actuations proceed with a logged notice.
windowcoverings_stateandwindowcoverings_set(blinds/curtains) print a notice to stderr and run without confirmation. - Never lock someone out or in. Do not set
lockedto true unless the user explicitly asked for that lock to be locked; verify intent in conversation first. - Reads (
auth,devices,device,flows) never need confirmation. - Homey Pro hardware or a Homey cloud account is required; local calls stay on the LAN.
- Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.

Maturity
🧪 Draft: written from Homey's public Web API docs; not yet live-tested end-to-end. Device capability reads and PUTs are pinned; the Flow-trigger path is an open item and ships marked untested.
