 "page_title": "How to control your Home Assistant devices from Hermes with Hermes Official Plugins",
 "summary": "Install the Home Assistant plugin so Hermes can read entity states and call services on your home.",
 "who": "A smart home owner who already runs Home Assistant and wants an agent to answer questions about devices or act on them.",
 "problem": "Checking device states and changing them means opening the Home Assistant interface for every small request.",
 "outcome": "Hermes lists your entities, reads their states and calls services, and can deliver cron results to your phone.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `hermes plugins info homeassistant` to see what the plugin needs and which reviewed commit it pins. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `hermes plugins install homeassistant`.",
  "Set the Home Assistant settings that the plugin manifest lists, using your own instance details.",
  "Ask Hermes to list your entities, then check one state with ha_get_state.",
  "Create a cron job with deliver=homeassistant to send a scheduled report to your phone."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo NousResearch/hermes-official-plugins, install the homeassistant plugin into Hermes, then use ha_list_entities on the Home Assistant instance <instance-name>. Report the entity list and a state from ha_get_state for one entity <entity-id>. Verify that the entity count matches what Home Assistant shows in its own entity list.",
