What is the 'Iron Law' mentioned in the skill?

It refers to three non-negotiable rules for HA development: use dt_util for timestamps, ensure attributes are JSON-serializable, and always use aiohttp instead of the requests library.

Can it help with device discovery?

Yes, it includes templates and logic for various discovery methods, including Bluetooth, Zeroconf, and SSDP.

Does it support HACS distribution?

Yes, it can generate all necessary files for HACS, including hacs.json, README templates, licenses, and GitHub Action validation workflows.

Is this skill for writing Home Assistant YAML automations?

No, this skill is specifically for Python-based custom integration development. For YAML automations or blueprints, use the standard home-assistant skill.

API 开发

Builds production-ready Home Assistant custom integrations using Python best practices and asynchronous patterns.

This skill transforms Claude into an expert Home Assistant architect, specifically designed for creating Python-based custom integrations and HACS-ready components. It enforces the Home Assistant 'Iron Law'—strict adherence to async patterns, proper timestamp handling via dt_util, and JSON-serializable attributes—ensuring generated code is stable, performant, and compliant with Core standards. From scaffolding directory structures and manifest files to implementing complex DataUpdateCoordinator patterns, this skill provides everything needed to bridge third-party APIs and local devices with the Home Assistant ecosystem.
