Control HomeKit smart home accessories and view home events via homeclaw-cli. Use when the user asks to control lights, locks, thermostats, fans, blinds, scenes, check device/sensor status, or view recent home activity/events. Examples: "turn off the stairs lights", "lock the front door", "what's the temperature", "run the movie scene", "close the blinds", "is the garage door open", "what happened at home today", "when was the front door last unlocked".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# HomeKit Control

## Golden Rule: Device Map First

**Before your first HomeKit action in a session, read `memory/homekit-device-map.json`.**

This compact device map has every device as a flat list with `display_name`, `id` (UUID), `room`, `type` (semantic category), `controls` (writable characteristics), and `state`. It's optimized for fast LLM scanning and disambiguation.

**Refresh the cache** periodically or when devices may have changed:
```bash
homeclaw-cli device-map --format agent -o memory/homekit-device-map.json
```

## Resolving What the User Means

1. Match user's words against `display_name` and `room` from the cached map
2. **Use `type` to disambiguate** — `lighting` devices support brightness; `power` devices are on/off only. A "Closet Light" with `type: power` cannot dim.
3. If ambiguous, prefer the device in the most likely room (main living areas > bedrooms > outdoor)
4. If still ambiguous, ask
5. **Always use UUIDs for write operations** — many devices share names (9 "Overhead" lights, multiple "Blinds"). Use `display_name` for reading, `id` (UUID) for `set`, `import-scene`, and `automations create` commands

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add omarshahine/homeclaw/homekit@sha256:fb6f13e0ba02e1d4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.121ed5a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
